The shipping industry has its own set of rules and guidelines regarding the operation of the ships and .
the personnel serving on ships. These rules and guidelines ensure a standard system of working on ships. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the governing body that regulates shipping in US. The body implements and amends different codes for ships, goods, cargoes, maritime security, Cargo operation, shipbuilding, crew safety, crew training, etc. It is important to comply with these codes to keep the shipboard operations away from legal liabilities.

ISM code and IMDG code are important maritime codes. ISM stand for International Safety Management and the code provides international standard for safe operation and management of ships and for pollution prevention. On the other hand, IMDG stands for International Maritime Dangerous Goods and the code provides standard for safety of goods in transit and for pollution prevention.
