International Marine Contractors Association

International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) is a leading international trade association for the marine contracting industry. It is a not for profit organisation with members representing the majority of worldwide marine contractors in the oil and gas and renewable energy industries.

IMCA was formed following the merger of the Association of Offshore Diving Contractors (AODC) with the Dynamically Positioned Vessel Owners Association (DPVOA) in 1995.

IMCA's purpose is to improve performance in the marine contracting industry.

IMCA represents over 700 member organisations in over 60 countries. It operates in five geographic regions: Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe & Africa, Middle East & India and South America). IMCA has a full-time secretariat in London that organises and manages the regional and technical committees. The extensive committee structure consists of elected member representatives who are experts in their field of operation.

As a trade association, IMCA is required to comply with international competition law and represents the industry on national and international forums, such as the International Maritime Organization. Members are obliged to comply with the IMCA Code of Conduct as a condition of membership. One of the commitments is to operate with risk as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP), and to minimise environmental impact.

IMCA has developed a comprehensive body of knowledge in the form of a suite of thousands of published guidance documents, technical information notes, DVDs and safety promotional materials which are internationally recognised as authoritative and establish standards of good practice in the marine contracting industry.

IMCA has published guidance documents in the following fields:
