Who can attend?
IMO会员资格
As a specialised agency of the United Nations, the IMO is a membership organisation in which representatives of national governments (for example, in the case of shipping, Flag, Port and Coastal States) make the formal decisions.
国际海事组织（IMO）作为联合国专门机构，实行会员制，其正式决策由成员国政府代表（例如航运领域的船旗国、港口国和沿海国）共同制定。
Each of the 176 member states is represented at the IMO by a delegation. The Heads of Delegation are often the Ambassadors or High Commissioners of the various diplomatic missions in London, who ‘present their credentials’ to the Secretary General on taking up their post.
现有成员国176个，均通过代表团参与IMO事务。代表团团长通常由各国驻伦敦大使馆或高级专员公署的大使/高级专员担任。其在就职时，需向IMO秘书长递交国书。
In order to manage the busy workload of maritime matters, many delegations assign a ‘Permanent Representative’, who becomes the visible presence of that state at almost all IMO meetings.
为处理繁重的海事工作，许多成员国委任常驻代表，使其成为该国出席几乎所有IMO会议的常驻人员。
All delegations can be augmented by technical experts from their nation’s civil service or shipping industry who have expertise in specific subjects as they arise. This ensures that the regulations produced by the IMO are of the highest quality. At some IMO Committee meetings, it is not unusual to see delegations swell to more than 10 members, or even up to 30, once subject specialists are included.
各国代表团可增派本国政府部门或航运业的技术专家参与特定议题讨论，这些专家具备相关领域的专业知识。此举旨在确保IMO制定的法规具有最高专业水准。在某些IMO委员会会议中，包含领域专家后的代表团规模常超过10人，甚至可达30人。
Expert input to the IMO is also delivered by the delegations from some 160 inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations accredited with ‘Consultative Status’. These range from representatives of the Port State Control MoUs, through telecommunications, shipbuilding and fuels organisations, to environmental NGOs and professional bodies such as The Nautical Institute.
向国际海事组织（IMO）提供专家意见的还有约160个具有 “咨询地位”的政府间组织和非政府组织的代表团。这些组织涵盖范围广泛，既有港口国监督谅解备忘录（MoUs）的代表，也包括电信、造船和燃料行业组织，以及环保非政府组织和像航海学会（The Nautical Institute）这样的专业机构。
