Integrating Indonesian Sea Transportation with the World

History
The Indonesian Maritime Law Association or Asosiasi Hukum Maritim Indonesia (IMLA) was formally established as a non-governmental not-for-profit Indonesian legal entity in 17 July 2009.

IMLA is the Indonesian member organization of the Comité Maritime International (CMI), a non-governmental international organization devoted to the unification of maritime laws around the world.

IMLA represents Indonesia at the International Conferences of the CMI. At these international conferences, discussions take place between delegations sent by maritime law associations around the world with the object of arriving at conclusions on the direction of maritime law development. These conclusions are then communicated to the governments of each maritime law association's country and to relevant international organizations.
