ITOPF Films

ITOPF is the leading, not-for-profit marine ship pollution response experts providing impartial advice worldwide on effective response to spills of oil & chemicals at sea.

ITOPF was established in 1968 in the wake of the TORREY CANYON oil spill. The TORREY CANYON was one of the world's first supertankers. During the last 45 years ITOPF has attended over 700 incidents in 100 countries, including landmark cases such as AMOCO CADIZ, EXXON VALDEZ, BRAER, SEA EMPRESS, ERIKA, PRESTIGE and HEBEI SPIRIT. 

As a not-for-profit organisation, we have devoted effort in developing a wide range of technical services to promote effective response in the marine environment to back up our core role of responding to ship-sourced spills. The five key services that we offer include spill response, damage assessment, contingency planning, training and information.
