What IMO International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990 (OPRC Convention) requires
The OPRC Convention 1990 requires ships, offshore units, and coastal States to maintain oil pollution emergency plans, establish national reporting and response systems, and co-operate internationally in oil spill response. The 2000 OPRC-HNS Protocol extends these obligations to hazardous and noxious substances. Together they form the binding framework for pre-positioned response capability and mutual assistance obligations.
