Gisis

GISIS, or Global Integrated Shipping Information System, is an online information system administered by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It provides centralized access to a broad range of maritime safety, security, and environmental protection information. GISIS aggregates IMO conventions and instruments, circulars, guidelines, technical manuals, and data related to ships, ports, flag states, as well as statistics and analysis about maritime incidents.

The system is designed to support regulators, the shipping industry, and researchers. It comprises modules that cover treaty instruments and amendments, ship and port state control information, ship particulars and certificates, incidents and casualties, and environmental protection data, among others. Some content is publicly accessible to enable compliance and knowledge sharing, while certain datasets are restricted to member states or recognized organizations to protect sensitive information.

GISIS serves multiple functions: it acts as a reference repository for international maritime law, a planning and monitoring tool for regulatory authorities, and a repository for incident data and safety analyses used to inform policy and risk assessment. The platform is periodically updated to reflect changes in treaties, safety requirements, and best practices issued by the IMO and partner organizations.
