AMOSC: Australia’s Primary Oil Spill Response Facility

Commitment to International Standards – The OPRC Convention

AMOSC was founded in alignment with the principles of the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response, and Co-operation (OPRC Convention). This global framework is fundamental to Australia’s national preparedness approach, and remains central to AMOSC’s operations.

We uphold the key tenets of the OPRC Convention, including:

  • Documented Response Plans
  • Trained and Qualified Personnel
  • Pre-positioned Response Ready Equipment
  • Regular Exercises
  • Mutual Aid Agreements

By adhering to these core elements, AMOSC ensures that the Australian petroleum & energy industries remain aligned with the National Plan and global best practices, reinforcing our commitment to environmental protection and operational excellence.
