Canada – Committed to the Goals of the International Maritime Community. Canada has one of the safest and most secure transportation systems in the world. Canada works closely with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to establish global standards that can be adopted into its regulatory framework, providing safe, secure and environmentally responsible navigation for vessels trading in or transitting through Canadian waters.

Canada is a founding member of the IMO and has been elected to Council without interruption since 1959. This dedicated effort will continue in order to advance an international framework for safe, secure and sustainable marine practices, a sound marine infrastructure, and to protect the marine environment.
