The International Maritime Organization (IMO) developed the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (OPRC Convention) in 1990. The governments of many countries now ratify this convention. It is the primary international instrument for implementing effective national response systems and international cooperation mechanisms in significant oil spills. The OPRC Convention obliges governments to establish exercises for organizations involved in oil pollution response and relevant personnel training. It also calls on the IMO to develop a comprehensive training program cooperating with interested governments and industry.

Imo Oprc model training courses were designed to complement the existing IMO OPRC model courses for preparedness and response to marine oil spills and to respond to maritime incidents involving hazardous and harmful substances.

Training can be included as part of a package or provided on an individual product basis.
