ITOPF is maintained by the world’s shipowners and their insurers on a not-for-profit basis to promote effective response to spills of oil and cargo in the marine environment.
Established in 1968, we have attended on-site at over 850 shipping incidents in 100 countries to provide objective technical advice on clean-up measures; the effects of pollutants on the environment and economic activities; and on compensation.
Our first-hand experience of pollution incidents is utilised during contingency planning, advisory and training assignments for government and industry. We are also an authoritative source of information on marine spills through our publications, statistics and films.
