Summary
This IMO Convention is the most important global treaty for the prevention of
pollution from the operation of ships; it governs the design and equipment of
ships; establishes system of certificates and inspections; requires states to
provide reception facilities for the disposal of oily waste and chemicals. It
covers all the technical aspects of pollution from ships, except the disposal of
waste into the sea by dumping, and applies to ships of all types, although it
does not apply to pollution arising out of the exploration and exploitation of
sea-bed mineral resources.
