The IOPC Funds will contribute to a sub-regional workshop on the handling and administration of claims for oil pollution damage which has been organised by the Global Initiative for West, Central and Southern Africa (GI WACAF) project under the oversight of the International Maritime Organization and IPIECA. The event, which is being hosted by South Africa’s Transport Department and the South African Maritime Safety Authority will take place in Cape Town from 22 to 24 July 2025.
The workshop is expected to bring together representatives from the African partner countries of the GI WACAF project to provide them with training on the handling and administration of claims for compensations following an incident. Together with the International Group of P&I Associations and ITOPF, the IOPC Funds will deliver presentations and practical exercises to enhance the participants’ knowledge of IMO’s liability conventions and provide practical skills for preparing claims and, documenting evidence.
