Environmental Issues

Respect for the power and beauty of the world's oceans is second nature to the marine sector and IMCA members pay particular attention to their environmental performance.

At a time when issues such as global warming, carbon emissions and environmental impacts have a huge profile internationally, the performance of every industry is under the microscope and none more so than that of the oil and gas industry.

IMCA has developed a suite of environmental performance indicators to help its members assess and demonstrate how they are successfully exceeding both their obligations and international expectations.

A variety of briefing has also been produced, on issues such as a gap analysis between different environmental standards and the phasing out of halon and introduction of alternative fire supression gases.

IMCA has also organised a variety of events, including dedicated workshops and sessions at its major annual seminar that have involved expert speakers and discussion sessions to help inform members and third parties on environmental issues.
