Upcoming events

The organisation PEMSEA (Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia) has invited the IOPC Funds to work together with the International Group of P&I Associations and ITOPF to deliver an online workshop from 20-22 April on the preparation and submission of claims for compensation for representatives of States in the Gulf of Thailand; namely Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. This online regional training event will take place over three half-day sessions and will include presentations, examples of case studies and practical exercises to ensure the States are fully aware of the claims process in the event that a spill should affect this vulnerable coastline.

The International Oil Spill Conference (IOSC) has been rescheduled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and will now take place from 10-14 May 2021. Held on a three-year cycle in conjunction with the Interspill and Spillcon conferences, the IOSC provides a forum for professionals from the international community, the private sector, government(s), governmental and non-governmental organisations to highlight and discuss innovations and best practices across the spectrum of prevention, preparedness, response and restoration. Originally due to take place in New Orleans, USA, as a result of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the global pandemic, IOSC 2021 will be transitioning to a fully virtual event experience.
The IOPC Funds will participate in the event. More information can be found here: iosc2021.org.
