Explanation / Answer

International Maritime Organization (IMO)

International Maritime Organization is a subsidiary or rather a special agency of the United Nations which is responsible for controlling the safety in shipping.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is an agency responsible for controlling and regulating security over any individual travelling to United States through air. It has the right to prohibit or forbid individual or goods which may seem harmful for the country.

The basic objective of the both the agencies mentioned here is ensuring safety by prohibiting entry of forbidden goods and individuals who may seem dangerous. TSA is responsible for taking care of the United States alone and their access control is over airways and IMO is responsible to safeguard all the countries but this agency has access only to seas.

World Customs Organization (WCO)

World Customs Organization headquarter in Brussels is an intergovernmental agency which is responsible for improvement and modernization of the customs system.

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a US based supply chain security initiative which generally deals with the supply chain of private companies in order to prevent terrorism by eliminating the risk of entry of prohibited goods through supply chain.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the agency which controls the C-TPAT and their working in order to fights against terrorism which can be possible only through active participation. With active participation of all the companies, terrorism can be fought through complete monitoring of the global supply chain.

International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)

International Chamber of Commerce is the largest business organization of the world which includes memebership of around 130 countries and the objective of the organization is to make the process of business better through Rule Setting, dispute resolution and also policy advocacy.

Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) is an act led upon in 2002 by George W. Bush in order to impose waterway security and port security which was becoming very much necessary then because of various reasons the primary being terrorism. The act made it clear that each and every port should possess a proper security plan and the plan needs to be approved and assessed by the United Staes Coast Guard.
