‘The work of the IMO, in particular the tremendous burst of activity during the 1970s…resulted in a large number of conventions, codes, recommendations and amendments…this new book is at once a handy encyclopedia, a useful review for those interested in marine affairs or environmental protection…and an instructive compendium of regulatory techniques.’ B. Oxman, American Journal of International Law 80 (4) 1986.
