IOSC

The IOSC, or International Oil Spill Conference, serves as a crucial international technical and policy forum focusing on oil spill prevention, emergency response, and marine environmental protection. This triennial event brings together professionals from the global response community, private sector, government, and non-governmental organizations to collaboratively address challenges through sound science, practical innovation, social engineering, and imaginative solutions. It specifically aims to connect suppliers with key stakeholders, including U.S. and North American maritime authorities, energy companies, and response service providers.
