As part of a series of presentations being delivered to P&I Clubs, ITOPF visited North P&I headquarters in Newcastle to meet up with both familiar and new faces.
ITOPF spent time in China with the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration (MSA), where it hosted a workshop on responding to incidents of ship-source pollution at-sea and on shorelines.
ITOPF is currently on-site in north-east Brazil attending the recent oil spill that has contaminated approximately 2,500 km of coastline in nine states.
