The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for measures to improve the safety and security of international shipping and to prevent marine pollution from ships. The ownership and management of chain surrounding any ship can embrace many countries and ships spend their economic life moving between different jurisdictions, often far from the country of registry. There is, therefore, a need for international standards to regulate shipping - which can be adopted and accepted by all. The first maritime treaties date back to the 19th century. Later, the Titanic disaster of 1912 spawned the first international safety of life at sea - SOLAS - convention, still the most important treaty addressing the maritime safety.

As times change and new technologies are introduced at an ever increasing pace, maritime communication and navigation equipment have also become more sophisticated. Monitoring all of this equipment causes a greater burden on the crew. JRCs' Remote Maintenance System (RMS) has the ability to cost-effectively monitor performance and functionality of onboard equipment while at sea, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

At JRC we are continually looking for ways to enhance our service capabilities and the introduction of the worldwide First Aid Kit system allows us to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible.

These First Aid Kit’s are strategically located at JRC offices and those of our support partners, stationed close to or at, the world’s busiest ports, and countries closely connected to areas of greater maritime activity, optimizing flexibility and availability.

A single First Aid Kit comprises a wide range of essential parts, significantly aiding prompt response and service of equipment within a minimum timeframe. JRC can provide urgently requested parts, thus maximizing quick and cost-effective repair with minimum downtime.

In addition to web based solutions, JRC operates a conventional telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week system called the JRC one-call™. This is always available via the Tokyo, Amsterdam & Seattle offices.

JRC one-call™ also known as the ‘follow-the-sun service’, is always available to our customers ensuring your call has our immediate attention for any requested support. Provision of ‘always available’ service, in conjunction with our trilateral platform, has proven substantial benefits to our customers.

Global warming has pushed environmental conservation into the main stream. Environmental protection is important for the conservation of precious natural resources and the continued health of our planet. JRC recognizes its responsibility as a global citizen and is continually striving to reduce environmental impacts.

At JRC we design our products to be efficient both mechanically and electrically. Energy consumption is one of the most significant environmental impacts an electronic device produces over time. One of JRC's key goals is to create energy efficient products. Learn more.
