Oil Spill India 2016
In Association with

Ladies & Gentlemen

It gives me immense gratification to extend very warm & cordial greetings to one & all !!
In today�s progressive world we are faced with the dual challenge of developing our economy and protecting the environment. Under no circumstances, should economic growth & development take precedence over protection of environment. Almost all maritime casualties, regardless of cargo, represent a potential threat to the environment. Renewable energy technology is also playing a vital role in reducing the quantities of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere and contributing to reduction of the greenhouse effect. The challenges faced by the maritime industry globally, with respect to sustainment of marine environment are common and the need of the hour is a comprehensive prevention, response and compensation regime. Pollution defence is at the top of the agenda.
A documented methodology for undertaking any contingency is a prerequisite for a dynamic system. A comprehensive response system must follow the �cradle to grave� philosophy. This implies that the system should cover all relevant aspects from the initial phase of causality management, on scene mobilisation, spill monitoring, response & defueling operations, salvage or wreck removal, waste disposal, monitoring chemical and environmental effects and cleanup post completion.
�Oil Spill India� (OSI) under aegis of �iTen media� has been a frontrunner in addressing the impacts of spills at National & International level. Launched in 2011, it is a unique event held in the country which brings together the global experts under one roof. The undersigned is proud to be associated with this noble endeavour since its inception and has witnessed the ever growing support, guidance and response from the world community. Many of you had travelled long distances to participate in the OSI 2011, 2012 & 2014 and made these three editions extremely successful. Kindly accept my deepest gratitude for you support.
The fourth innings of OSI conference & exhibition will be unique, as we introduce Emergency response, Salvage & Wreck Removal in addition to Spill Response, a combination rarely witnessed under one roof, in any part of the world. Needless to mention, that all these subjects goes hand in hand during any maritime causality.
The undersigned is convinced that "OSI 2016" will provide an international platform to consolidate our commitment towards the Environment under the theme "Commitment, Synergy, Excellence" where "Commitment" is for Environmental Sustainability, "Synergy" for Spill preparedness, prevention, response and �Excellence� in Restoration endeavours.
