The Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) will be organising a Sub-regional Workshop on Liability and Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, in Koper, Slovenia, on the 17 – 18 June 2025. The Workshop is co-financed by the Mediterranean Trust fund and the IMO’s Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP).

The principal objectives of the Workshop are:

  • To strengthen the capacities of officials from national competent authorities on liability and compensation regimes for oil and HNS, the admissibility criteria for claims for the reimbursement of response costs to oil and HNS pollution; and
  • The examination of the subject from the perspective of national legal frameworks, in relation to the multiplicity of liability regimes and the preservation of compensation rights.

The Workshop will be led by speakers from the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC), ITOPF, the International Group of P & I Clubs, and REMPEC.
