Abstract
The INF Code was adopted by the 18th Assembly of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) by Resolution A. 748(18) (IMO, November 1993) as a voluntary Code of Practice for application by IMO Member States. This paper describes the work leading to the adoption of the INF Code and its subsequent application and further development among the IMO and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Member States.
