MOIG

The Mediterranean Oil Industry Group (MOIG)

About MOIG

The Mediterranean Oil Industry Group (MOIG) was initiated by the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), following a joint Oil Spill Preparedness and Response Seminar organized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and IPIECA in Cairo in 1992, where a commitment was made to set up an industry network in the Mediterranean region. The first meeting took place in Rome in 1995. The Permanent Secretariat is currently based in Tunisia following to ETAP Headquarter Agreement signed by both ETAP and IPIECA.

MOIG is composed of oil companies and associates and serves as a Regional Oil Industry Forum on Oil Spill Prevention, Preparedness and Response for the Mediterranean Region to ensure Industry Coordination in the event of an Oil Spill in the Mediterranean sea.

In 2004, MOIG was institutionalized with the purpose of strengthening the co-operation between the governments and the industry in the Mediterranean Sea.
