International Maritime Bureau
The ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is a specialised division of the International Chamber Of Commerce (ICC). The IMB is a non-profit making organisation, established in 1981 to act as a focal point in the fight against all types of maritime crime and malpractice.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) in it’s resolution A 504 (XII) (5) and (9) adopted on 20 November 1981, has inter alia, urged governments, all interests and organizations to cooperate and exchange information with each other and the IMB with a view to maintaining and developing a co-ordinated action in combating maritime fraud. The IMB has a MOU with the World Customs Organization (WCO) and has an observer status with Interpol (ICPO).

IMB’s main task is to protect the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice. For over 20 years, it has used industry knowledge, experience and access to a large number of well-placed contacts around the world to do this: identifying and investigating frauds, spotting new criminal methods and trends, and highlighting other threats to trade.

Asian Security Review
Mailed out six times a year to 10,000 named security professionals throughout Asia Pacific, Asian Security Review's mission is to foster information exchange, networking and peer review.

"Asian Security Review provides a vital, informal link between the experience of the public and private sectors across jurisdictions," said James Smith, Managing Editor of Alphabet Media. "Effective homeland security depends on collaboration between government, security agencies and key stakeholders in the private sector - which is why Asian Security Review is uniquely end-user driven.

We're not a suppliers directory; every issue of Asian Security Review features senior level government interviews. No other magazine receives the same level of support." As the only 'all-hazards' homeland security title in the region, Asian Security Review is the ideal marketing platform for solutions providers seeking to build influence and win business with our audience. "Leveraging the deepest network of government contacts of any trade publisher in the region, we are able to gain access to senior policymakers and share their experience with their peers around the region. As a result of this we are able to deliver an informed, engaged audience of prospective buyers to our advertisers and sponsors," he continued.

Crisis Response
The journal is the result of many years of planning and research, based on Editor Emily Hough’s extensive publishing experience in the fire and emergency services field. All this is underpinned by the firmest conviction that a truly international outlook is essential for emergency responders and planners, so that they can learn from the experience of their colleagues elsewhere in the world, and share their own expertise on a global platform.
The journal also intends to help bridge the gap between academic and educational researchers, and the political response to the threat of large scale emergencies, distilling different perspectives and analyses into practical operational strategies for those in charge of front line response.
