FOUNDED: 1995

MISSION STATEMENT

IMCA is a trade association and exists for the benefit of its members across the offshore, marine and underwater engineering industry. In common with other trade associations, we provide members with guidance, allowing them to ‘self-regulate’ rather than look to clients or governments for setting rules and procedures. While governments legislate on a range of issues in the public interest, they cannot produce legislation for every part of an industry’s operations – nor may that be desirable. A key benefit of industry guidance is that it can be implemented and updated more quickly than legislation, which is vital in an industry with rapidly advancing technology. As a trade association we must also comply with international competition law (competition, antitrust and similar laws). We use strict guidelines to ensure compliance.

IMCA ‘s technical work programme is based on a set of strategic objectives on improving peformance in the marine contracting industry.

IMCA’s Vision & Strategy 2014-2019 is designed to outline what we do and how we do it.

IMCA Secretariat

For over a quarter of a century the Association and its predecessors has had a secretariat to provide administrative support and co-ordination for IMCA’s committee-based work programme.

Since 1997 a secretariat in London has provided full-time member support, expanding in line with the association’s membership and widening work programme.
