ROLE OF IMO IN MERCHANT MARINE INDUSTRY : ROLE OF IMO IN MERCHANT MARINE INDUSTRY The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a
specialized agency of the United Nations which is
responsible for measures to improve the safety and
security of international shipping and to prevent marine
pollution from ships. It is also involved in legal matters,
including liability and compensation issues and the
facilitation of international maritime traffic.
It was established by means of a Convention adopted
under the auspices of the United Nations in Geneva on
17TH March 1948 and met for the first time in January
1959. It currently has 168 Member States. IMO's
governing body is the Assembly which is made up of all
168 Member States and meets normally once every two
years.
The main technical work is carried out by the Maritime Safety, Marine Environment Protection, Legal, Technical Co-operation andFacilitation Committees and a number of sub-committees. Safe,secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans means IMO. : The main technical work is carried out by the Maritime Safety, Marine Environment Protection, Legal, Technical Co-operation andFacilitation Committees and a number of sub-committees. Safe,secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans means IMO. The main concern of IMO is to develop international
treaties and other legislation concerning safety and
marine pollution prevention. IMO is now concentrating on
keeping legislation up to date and ensuring that it is
ratified by as many countries as possible. This has been so
successful that many Conventions now apply to more than
98% of world merchant shipping tonnage.
Currently the emphasis is on trying to ensure that these
conventions and other treaties are properly implemented
by the countries that have accepted them. The texts of
conventions, codes and other instruments adopted by IMO
can be easily obtained by IMO Publication Sections.
RADIO ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY (AAIC) : RADIO ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY (AAIC) The Fourth and Final stage for the ship-owner and their
representative is to take care about radio accounting
authority selection from list of Approved RA. Because If
previously you are using Radio BM but you changed the
flag and new flag does not recognized this one so you
have to face the trouble to activate your ship station
equipments. We also provide the services for radio
accounting to our customers.
Radio Accounting is the control and use of perfect
communication between ports authorities, other vessels
etc. All this communication related to electronic devices
which is recoded in Ship Station License however its
activities are controlled by International Tele-
communication Union (ITU) which is agency of United
Nation responsible for information and communication
technology.
Our field related with its sector (ITU-R) which is Radio-communication. ITU register the member states and its companies those are responsible for the same and called as Radio Accounting Entities (RAE). Each service provide has an allocated Code which is called Authorized Accounting Identification Code(AAIC). : Our field related with its sector (ITU-R) which is Radio-communication. ITU register the member states and its companies those are responsible for the same and called as Radio Accounting Entities (RAE). Each service provide has an allocated Code which is called Authorized Accounting Identification Code(AAIC). The First two Letter will indicate the country code of that
company and the last two code will indicate as its allocation.
They are approximate 700 private organizations. This is also
essential for ship-owner to ask with the person who is registering
his vessel, the list of Approved/Recognized Radio Accounting
Entities, same as classification, you have to chose the best
Services Provider who possess the Good experience on his field.
OFFSHORE BUSINESS COMPANIES FORMATION : OFFSHORE BUSINESS COMPANIES FORMATION An offshore Company is a company which does not conduct
substantial business in its country of incorporation. They are
sometimes known as non-resident companies.
BENEFITS OF OFFSHORE COMPANIES
Offshore companies may bring a number of benefits to individuals or companies.
Taxation - business may be structured so that profits are realized in ways that minimize their overall tax liability.
Simplicity - except for regulated businesses, such as banks or other financial institutions, some jurisdictions make it relatively simple to set up and maintain companies.
Reporting - the level of information required by the registrar of companies varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Asset protection - it is possible to organize assets and transactions in such a way that assets are shielded from future liabilities.
Slide 28 : Anonymity - by carrying out transactions in the name of a private company,
the name of the underlying principal may be kept out of documentation.
Having said that, current anti-money laundering regulations often require banks and other professionals to look through structures.
Thin capitalisation - offshore jurisdictions tend not to impose "thin capitalisation" rules on companies (except for regulated entities such as banks and insurance companies), allowing them to be formed with a purely nominal equity investment.
Financial assistance - offshore companies are usually not prohibited from providing "financial assistance" for the acquisition of their own shares, which avoids the needs for "whitewash" procedure in certain financial transactions.
SALIENT FEATURES OF OFFSHORE COMPANIES
There are many salient Features of offshore companies as follows :-
Memorandum and articles of association or bylaws - these documents are fundamental to the existence of the company, and detail the rights of the members, the objectives of the company.
Certificate of Incorporation - this is issued by the Registrar of Companies, and is proof that the company has been brought into existence. Other information may be necessary to prove that the company has not been liquidated or struck off. Registration Agent - it is normal for an agent to be appointed in the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated for the purpose of dealing with official communications with the registrar. Registered Office - this is the official address of a company, to which official documents are sent and legal notices received. It is normal for the registration agent to provide a registered office. A company may have other business and correspondence addresses. Members - these are the legal owners of the company. For administrative simplicity, or for anonymity, a corporate service provider may supply nominees who will hold shares on behalf of a beneficial owner, and act on his instructions. Directors - the individuals who manage the day-to-day affairs of company. In many jurisdictions it is possible for companies to be directors of other companies. Corporate service providers in offshore jurisdictions will often provide directors, provided they are able to control, and be satisfied with, the activities of the company. The company is generally considered to be resident for tax purposes at the place where the decisions are made. : Certificate of Incorporation - this is issued by the Registrar of Companies, and is proof that the company has been brought into existence.

Corporate service providers in offshore jurisdictions will often provide directors, provided they are able to control, and be satisfied with, the activities of the company. The company is generally considered to be resident for tax purposes at the place where the decisions are made.
Slide 30 : Shadow directors - in some cases, it has been shown that the formally appointed directors merely act as the alter ego of others, blindly following their instructions. In these cases, the courts have considered that those instructing the named directors really control of company, and that the named directors merely rubberstamp decisions. Companies managed in this way run the risk of being deemed to be resident in the jurisdiction where the shadow director is resident. Unpredictable tax consequences may follow.
Company Secretary - this is the person who is responsible for ensuring that the company meets its statutory obligations. Corporate service providers often provide this service.
Statutory Records - a company is obliged to maintain registers setting out certain information about the company. The mandatory records vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, as does the level of public access to the information contained in the records. Many jurisdictions require that the records are kept within the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated. The records required may include minutes of meetings, registers members, directors, officers and charges.
Bookkeeping - directors are generally required to keep proper records. They may be required to prepare audited accounts. Specific requirements vary between jurisdictions and may depend on the nature of the company's activity. For example all banks will need to prepare audited accounts, whereas a private investment.
Slide 31 : TYPES OF OFFSHORE COMPANIES
Examples of offshore companies include the Limited Liability Company (LLC) and the International Business Company (IBC). More recently new legislation has been enacted in a number of Jurisdictions, such as the British Virgin Islands, to replace the IBC type of company with the Business Company (BC). The following types of company are common in offshore jurisdictions:
Company having a share capital - these companies issue shares. Once the initial cost of a share (capital and premium) has been paid, the shareholders have no further obligation to the company. The shares may, subject to the rules of the company, be sold or transferred, and the shareholders have the right to enjoy the profits of the company or any proceeds of a liquidation.
Company limited by guarantee - the members of the company agree to pay up to a maximum limit an event that the company becomes insolvent. They may acquire certain rights against the company, such as the rights to a dividend and the specific rights will be set out in the rules of the company. Membership may terminate on death, and guarantee companies have been used for not for profit organizations. There are also sophisticated estate planning schemes which make use of guarantee companies.
Slide 32 : Protected cell companies - some jurisdictions permit cellular
companies, where particular assets and liabilities are segregated into
"cells", in such a way that the assets of one cell cannot be used to
satisfy the liabilities of another. Cell companies are particularly used
for umbrella mutual funds or unit linked insurancebonds.
However, many offshore jurisdictions offer increasingly specialised
forms of companies (as well as specialised trusts and partnerships
seeking to increase their share of the market. Examples include
limited duration companies, unlimited liability companies,
companies limited by guarantee and with a share capital, restricted
purpose companies and hybrid entities such as limited liability
partnerships, which are more akin to companies to actual
partnerships, and foundations, which are nominally trusts but are
more akin to companies than trusts.
Slide 33 : JURISDICTIONS FOR OFFSHORE COMPANY FORMATIONS
It is possible to incorporate offshore companies in many jurisdictions.
