The national associations that belong to ICS provide national
representatives through a network of committees, which are responsible
for developing the international policy of the industry, including
positions to be adopted on international maritime regulatory
questions. The national representatives to ICS Committees include
experts from individual shipping companies which are members
of the national shipowners' associations that belong to ICS.
So far as possible, ICS represents the views of the entire shipping
industry at the various fora which develop international maritime
conventions and recommendations, especially the International
Martitime Organisation (IMO). ICS is particularly influential
because of the support it receives from its member national shipowners
associations' which represent the views agreed within ICS to
their national governments, which in turn comprise the membership
of bodies such as IMO (see diagram). |
