TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION AND CAPACITY BUILDINGCase Study TwelveIPIECA in the international communityIPIECA is providing a forum for the petroleum industry toexpress its views and to participate in debates concerningglobal environmental issues connected with oil spill response,global climate change, biodiversity and transportation andother global emerging issues.The partners● IPIECA● the oil industry● governments● academia and the scientific community● United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations● non-governmental organizationsIPIECA brings together a network of the most experiencedscientists and environmental experts that the oil industry canprovide. Although IPIECA was created by the oil industryfor the benefit of the oil industry, its role in internationaldebates is recognized by its partners in the United Nations andother intergovernmental organizations. IPIECA, together withthe oil industry’s other associations, provides the petroleumindustry with a means of involving itself in global environmentalissues. IPIECA is active in four main areas: oil spill response,global climate change, biodiversity and transportation.Oil spill responseThe IPIECA Oil Spill Working Group is the internationalforum for developing the industry’s view points and forsharing industry’s expertise on oil spill preparedness andresponse. The work of the group is helping thoseresponsible, in both government and industry, for:● establishing oil spill policy;● preparing contingency plans;● meeting the goals of the Convention on Oil PollutionPreparedness, Response and Cooperation (OPRC); and● protecting the marine environment.To introduce the oil industry’s expertise to a wideraudience, IPIECA and the International MaritimeOrganization (IMO) recognized the need to address theMr W. O’Neil, Secretary General, IMO, Mr F. Abda’oe, PresidentDirector, Pertamina and Dr D. F. Rijkels, Chairman, IPIECA, at thePilot IMO/Industry seminar on Contingency Planning for Oil SpillResponse, Jakarta, September 199158
TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING… Case Study TwelveIPIECA in the international communityissues with those who establish policy as well as those whoimplement it. To achieve this, the IMO/Industry Seminarprogramme was conceived in early 1991. The purpose of theseminars is to bring together, by geographic region, executivesfrom government and industry who are responsible forcontingency planning for oil spill response. The seminars aimto promote effective, long-term cooperation between industryand government, and to assist in the development of jointcontingency planning arrangements, as provided in the OPRCConvention, negotiated within IMO in 1990.Seven seminars have been held: for the ASEAN countries,for the Mediterranean, for Latin and Central America, for Eastand West Africa, for the Middle East Gulf Area, for theCaribbean Island states and for East Asia and the Pacific. Theseseminars have been developed:●●●●to encourage effective, long-term cooperation betweenindustry and government;as a catalyst for developing joint industry/governmentcontingency plans;as the beginning of an industry/government partnershipcapable of identifying, assembling and maintaining theresources needed for effective contingency planning;as the means by which government and industry resourcescan be most effectively deployed for the greatest long-termenvironmental benefit.IPIECA is now working in partnership with IMO towardsthe definition and implementation of a global follow-upstrategy. A meeting in South Africa in 1996 is being designed toprovide a template for a series of regional workshops on theneed for, and resourcing of, national contingency planningprocesses. The goal of this global strategy will be for all ‘at risk’developing countries’ coastal states to have tried and testedemergency plans in place by the year 2000. The end productwill be fully-executed national contingency plans involvinggovernment and industry.To support these programmes, IPIECA is publishing a seriesof technical reports which currently include guidelines forcontingency planning and the impact of oil spills on differenttypes of habitats (see box on page 60). These reports are widelydistributed to industry, government and academia in bothdeveloped and developing countries, and are increasingly cited askey references in the academic literature.IPIECA has also produced, and published jointly with IMO, avideo Working Together—Effective Oil Spill Contingency Planning.largespillmediumspillsmallspillTieroneThe tiered response to oil spills—a key element in contingency planningthat has been promoted in the IMO/IPIECA seminarsThis 30 minutes video captures the important messages of theseminars and highlights the theme of government/industrypartnership in the development of oil spill contingency plans.Available in English, Spanish, French and Chinese, the videois being distributed to a wide international audience includingIPIECA members and IMO member countries.WorkingTogetherIMOEffective Oil SpillContingency PlanningTiertwoproximity to operationsTierthreelocal vicinity remoteIPIECA/IMO video‘Working Together—Effective Oil SpillContingency Planning’.59
