ITOPF has been invited by Korea Coast Guard to participate in an oil spill response workshop at its headquarters in Sejong City on 29th and 30th March.
For the last four and a half decades the average number of large oil spills from tankers, i.e. greater than 700 tonnes, has progressively reduced and since 2010 averages 1.7 per year.
An exhibition charting 50 years of cooperation between government and industry for the safe transport of oil by sea was opened on Monday 16th January at the headquarters of the IMO.
