OCIMF

The Torrey Canyon crude oil tanker grounded in 1967 initiated a wave of public concern around the world over incidents of environmental pollution from tankers.
In the early 1970s, there were many anti-pollution initiatives proposed nationally, regionally and internationally, but only of an individual nature, with very little joint coordination between organizations and countries.

The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) is different. It is a voluntary organization of oil companies in the world. Through OCIMF, the oil industry has been able to play a stronger coordinating role in responding to these initiatives, making the industry’s expertise widely available through collaboration with governments and inter-governmental agencies.

OCIMF was granted a consultation at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1971 and continues to present the views of the oil industry at IMO meetings. Since then, OCIMF role has been expanded to meet the changes in maritime operations of its members. OCIMF remit now covers safety, health, security and the environment pertaining to tankers, barges, offshore vessels and terminal interfaces. OCIMF not only contributes a significant number of regulations at the IMO to improve tanker safety and protect the environment, but also provides important new guidance on current pressing issues such as pirates and shipping in the Arctic. OCIMF is in a unique position to leverage its members’ expertise to promote the necessary guidance on important industry issues. This helps not only members but also the oil and gas industry to apply regulations, while also making valuable references to the development of new regulations.

More than 100 current members of OCIMF include all major oil companies in the world along with the majority of National Petroleum Companies (Vietnam Oil and Gas Group was an official member of OCIMF in November 2010).

Today, OCIMF is widely recognized as the voice of the oil industry, providing expertise in the safe and environmentally responsible transportation and treatment of hydrocarbons both for ships and port depots, and continuously establishing and improving safety standards.
OCIMF has an abundant portfolio of tools to assess the status of participants in oil and gas activities, including the SIRE, TMSA, OVID, MTIS programmes mentioned below.
