Overview 1: the Global Initiative
The IMO/IPIECA Global Initiative (GI) aims to:• Assist countries in developing a national structure for oil spill
preparedness and response• Encourage ratification and implementation of relevant IMO
Conventions• Catalyze local ownership by industry and government• Stems from the Oil Pollution Response and Cooperation (OPRC)
Convention (1990) which calls for regulatory authorities to workwith the oil and shipping industry to develop global oil spill response
capability

The differences between OSR and OWROil Spill Response

Wildlife Response•••••• Not recognized for manyyears

Agreed standards, concepts
Established courses
Science (R&D)
Plans, response capacity
Exercises/drills• No agreed standards• Expertise lies with a few
NGOs
Photo credit: U.S. Coast Guard/Creative Commons• Links between gov., industry
and NGO’s often missing• “Science” is not recognised• Planning is lagging behind

GOWRS project background• Long time relationships• Co-operation at many spills• Regular exchanges on goodpractices• Industry in need of a system• 2015-2016: define and build thesystem
Values, good practice2015-2016
