As a specialized agency of the United Nations, IMO is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.
In other words, its role is to create a level playing-field so that ship operators cannot address their financial issues by simply cutting corners and compromising on safety, security and environmental performance. This approach also encourages innovation and efficiency.
Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.

Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) and virtual environments are not supported.
The Windows eBook Reader works with Windows XP or later OS (but not Windows RT).
See more details.
Cloud (online) eBooks:
The Cloud (online) eBooks use Microsoft Silverlight browser plugin to deliver the best possible reading experience with the ability to work in offline mode.
It is an annual subscription service (i.e. each eBook is purchased for 1 year of use).
Online licences are not transferrable to Windows or iPad (or vice-versa).
Silverlight is compatible with the major web browsers used on Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
However it is not supported on Linux, Android, Windows RT and iPad devices and therefore the Cloud eBooks use an HTML site in these instances.
The HTML site is more restricted than the Silverlight version.
See https://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/what-is-silverlight and more details.
