What is an IMO number?

The IMO number is a unique 7-digit identifier assigned to each commercial vessel by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

• Permanent identification: Remains the same even if the ship's name or ownership changes.
• Format: Composed of 7 digits, the first 3 of which indicate the type of vessel.
• Use: Included in maritime documents to facilitate traceability, incident management and regulatory compliance.
