In the first of three bonus episodes on the work of the International Maritime Organization, IMarEST Fellow Andy Wright introduces the purpose and structure of the IMO. Andy explains how, in its capacity as one of the 88 non-governmental organisations holding consultative status, the IMarEST supports the IMO's 176 Member States through the provision of impartial technical maritime knowledge and research and debate support.

The IMarEST is the only organisation to bring together marine engineers, scientists and technologists under one international multi-disciplinary membership body, providing professional registration and career support and development at every stage of a marine professional's journey.
