Upcoming events

The IOPC Funds, together with the International Group of P&I Associations and ITOPF, have been invited to participate in an online training course organised by the GI WACAF Project for the Gambia from 28-30 June 2021.

The aim of the course is to train the authorities on the scope and implementation of the IMO Conventions relating to liability and compensation in the event of marine oil pollution, in particular through case studies and exercises. The Gambia recently joined the 1992 Fund, when the 1992 Conventions entered into force for the State in October 2020. This training course will therefore provide a good opportunity for the IOPC Funds to work with the authorities and help them establish a good understanding of the work of the organisation.

The IOPC Funds have been invited to participate in a virtual workshop for the Mexican Navy on claims and compensation for oil pollution from ships and offshore platforms.

The workshop, which will be held from 6 to 8 July 2021, is being organised by the Navy in cooperation with the International Group of P&I Associations and local correspondents and will also include presentations from the IOPC Funds and ITOPF.

The next meeting of the IOPC Funds governing bodies will take place on 22 and 23 July 2021. Circulars containing the invitation and provisional agenda will be issued nearer the time. Further information can be found here.

Regular sessions of the IOPC Funds will take place during the week of 1 November 2021. Circulars containing the invitation and provisional agenda will be issued nearer the time. Further information can be found here.
