ICS has been contributing to
the work of WMU through financial support and bursaries, as well as ICS staff
giving lectures and providing input and guidelines. For example, ICS has played
and plays a vital role in the development and implementation of international
treaties and conventions. The role of education and training in implementation
is crucial and is the focus of attention of both ICS and the WMU. Many of the
WMU graduates play key roles in the maritime industry, and participate in
international debate through ICS and other bodies
