Interspill 2012 on Track

The trade exhibition during Interspill 2012, to be held from 13th to 15th March 2012 in London, is according to the organisers completely sold out following two stages of expansion. The Call for Papers closed recently and the full conference programme will be available early in January 2012. 

The conference programme comprises an opening plenary session; sessions on regulation/legislation, compensation and ‘Cold Climate' issues; wildlife; and technology development session; as well as case studies on response logistics, subsurface dispersion, in situ burning and HNS response.

 

Interspill 2012 is organised by its Steering Committee, through Interspill Ltd, comprising hosts, UKSPILL, with SYCOPOL, NOSCA and EuroSpill from the European spill industry, together with IPIECA representing the global oil industry, and EMSA representing the European Community; and also supported by IMO, IOPC, CEDRE and ITOPF. It also has support from the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency, with Oil Spill Response Ltd who have committed to long term sponsorship of the event. The scope of this group illustrates the support Interspill has gained from the industry and governmental and inter governmental sources, and its ambition to become a key international event for those concerned with oil and HNS spills.

 

There is an offshore forum on 14th March 2011; a science workshop running on 13^th to 14th March; spill industry seminar on 14^th and 15th March; and short courses running alongside the exhibition and conference.
