Question 2398 Deck General

The correct answer is C) International Maritime Organization (IMO). The IMO is the United Nations agency responsible for regulating international maritime affairs, including the development of international conventions and agreements. The IMO was the body that drafted and adopted the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), which is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not have the authority or responsibility for drafting international maritime pollution prevention conventions like MARPOL. The Maritime Advisory Council, International Association of Shipping, and Association of Seafaring Nations are not official international bodies with that kind of regulatory authority.
