PLEASE HELP US TO ASSIST YOU IN THE EVENT OF A SPILL
ITOPF is funded by the world's shipowners through their P&I insurers to provide objective technical advice on effective response to oil spills and the mitigation of damage. The organisation's highly experienced staff also assess claims for compensation resulting from spills, undertake contingency planning studies and produce a wide range of technical publications.
ITOPF's tanker-owner Members and shipowner Associates have first call on the organisation's technical services but this is not always fully appreciated by those within the ship-owning companies who would be in the frontline at the time of a spill. ITOPF is therefore keen to raise awareness of its services within the technical departments of its Members and Associates and their ship management companies.
One key group of individuals with whom ITOPF would like to establish a closer relationship is the DESIGNATED PERSON, who under the ISM code, are responsible for monitoring safety and pollution prevention procedures on each vessel within a company. As a first step in this process we would invite all Members and Associates to provide contact details of their DESIGNATED PERSON(S) using the downloadable form below. When ITOPF receives the contact details it will despatch a copy of its latest annual Handbook to the identified person(s) and add their name to a mailing list so that they automatically receive future issues of the Handbook and other technical publications.
Your help in this matter would be much appreciated.
