Notice Information

Notice Title

Contract for the Provision of Oil Spill Training Accreditation Services

Notice Description

The International Maritime Organization's International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation (OPRC) requires national authorities to have in place a process of oil spill training to ensure that all involved in the response to a maritime oil spill are adequately trained and prepared for their roles. The Nautical Institute accredits the training providers to the standards provided by the MCA and BEIS and reports to MCA and BEIS on the performance of the scheme overall. Both UK and non-UK providers can gain NI accreditation status by meeting the UK standards, and as certain IMO levels are compatible with the UK scheme levels, demonstrate accreditation to IMO equivalent levels as well. The IMO recognises the NI accreditation scheme for marine oil spill response training.
