Since we were founded, we have been driven to improve safety and performance in the marine contracting industry.

Central to this is our Technical Library, an extensive collection of around 230 Guidance documents and 250 Information Notes which cover almost every aspect of offshore operations.

Whether diving, marine, remote operations and ROV, or offshore survey, our industry-leading technical documents ensure that wherever our Members are based or working, they have the tools to work to the highest standards in safety and sustainability.

Safety at our core

Every fortnight, nearly 10,000 people receive IMCA Safety Flashes direct to their inbox. Shared for free with the industry, this ensures that the lessons learned are shared as widely as possible.

Our Safety Statistics provide a holistic view of safety, allowing the sector to pick-up on emerging trends.

Improving offshore performance

More than 7,000 colleagues are registered on our Dynamic Positioning and Diving CPD Apps, part of our suite of certification programmes designed by the offshore sector for the offshore sector. 

In 2023, more than 1,600 inspections took place through our eCMID service, our standardised safety management system health check for offshore vessels.
