ABSTRACT To assist shipowners comply with their requirements under the international conventions, International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) has produced a series of Country Profiles. These documents are intended to provide a greater overall understanding of oil spill response and state of preparedness nationally, and to promote co-operation between shipowners and the various government and private bodies involved in such matters. The Profiles, available to all via the Internet (at www. itopf. com/countryₚrofiles), cover approximately 160 maritime nations and allow users to obtain a quick snapshot of national response arrangements.
