The International Maritime Bureau is a

specialized department of the
International Chamber of Commerce.

The IMB's responsibilities lie in fighting

crimes related to maritime trade and
transportation, particularly piracy and
commercial fraud, and in protecting the
crews of ocean-going vessels. It publishes
a weekly piracy report and maintains a 24-
hour piracy reporting centre in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.

The IMB is part of ICC Commercial Crime

Services whose other divisions include
The Counterfeiting Intelligence Bureau,
The Financial Investigation Bureau and
FraudNet.

FraudNet is the world's leading network of

fraud and asset recovery lawyers with 63
lawyers in 56 different jurisdictions.
The bureau, endorsed by the UN's
International Maritime Organisation, was
founded in 1981. The body has observer
status with Interpol and a MOU with the
World Customs Organization.[1]

Its present director is Captain Pottengal

Mukundan.
