What to report
Oil is counted for contribution purposes each time it is received at a port or terminal installation in a Member State after carriage by sea.
The term received refers to receipt into tankage or storage immediately after carriage by sea. The place of loading is irrelevant; the oil may be imported from abroad, carried from another port in the same State or transported by ship from an offshore production rig. Oil that is received for transhipment to another port or received for further transport by pipeline is also considered received for contribution purposes. In addition, oil that is discharged in a port or terminal installation after carriage by sea in a non‐Member State of the 1992 Fund and subsequently transported by land to a Member State is considered received for contribution purposes. The term received does not include ship‐to‐ship transfers of oil.
Oil Reporting Form
All Member States are required report to the Director each year the name and address of any company or entity in that State which is liable to pay contributions to the 1992 Fund and/or to the Supplementary Fund, as well as the quantity of contributing oil received by each of these companies and entities in the preceding year. Forms can be downloaded here or submitted online via the dedicated online reporting system.
Nil Declaration Form
Member States in which no company or entity receives more than 150 000 tonnes and therefore is not liable to pay contributions to the 1992 Fund and/or the Supplementary Fund, should notify the Director using a Nil declaration form.
What is contributing oil?
The definition of ‘contributing oil’, i.e. the types of oil received in Member States that must be reported to the IOPC Funds is set out in Article 1.3 of the 1992 Fund Convention. A list of oils which would be considered and those which would not be considered is included in an Annex to the Internal Regulations and to the oil reporting form. The IOPC Funds has also published a useful guide to persistent and contributing oils.
