CRM - Cornerstones of IMCA member activity
CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE (CRM)
of offshore platforms and sub sea architecture are three vital cornerstones of activity for International Marine Contractors Association(IMCA) member companies.
A high number of these 800 or so companies in some 60 countries operate a wide range of vessels to construct and install such facilities and then to provide the full support needed for repair, maintenance and extending (both physically and in 'life' terms) these offshore facilities. In its turn IMCA provides support to their activities via its committees - both the core committees, Safety, Environment & Legislation (SEL) and Competence & Training (C&T), and the four technical committees representing the four Divisions,Diving, Marine, Offshore Survey and Remote Systems & ROVs - and their work programmes, designed very much with the pursuit of safe and efficient projects in mind.
ONS 2012 - Confronting energy paradoxes
ONS PROVIDES A leading exhibition and an arena for the presentation and high-level discussion of the political, economic and technological issues surrounding the international oil and gas industry.
In recent years, ONS has incorporated broader energy issues while maintaining its focus on the petroleum industry. The ONS Foundation has overall responsibility for the ONS event, which aims to continue as a major international arena for the promotion and advancement of the energy industry.
Topics that lie at the heart of IMCA’s activities
HEALTH, SAFETY, THE environment, and risk management –these are topics that lie at the very heart of the InternationalMarine Contractors Association (IMCA’s) activity on behalf of its members, and of the wider industry, with the target of‘zero incidents’ being the holy grail of both the association and the offshore industry as a whole. We represent offshore, marine and underwater engineering companies – well over 800 of them in 60 countries – and have as one of our key objectives “to strive for the highest possible standards of health, safety and environment with a balance of risk and cost”.

UK's well capping device bolsters oil spill response capability
A major piece of new equipment, designed to be a key element of the UK offshore oil and gas industry's oil spill response capability,has been constructed, tested and is available for deployment.
The well capping device for use across the UK continental shelf is a world-first. It has been built in order to seal off an uncontrolled subsea well in the unlikely event of a major well control incident, minimising environmental damage and buying valuable time for engineers to develop a permanent solution to seal the well. It works by shutting in and holding pressure and uses a choke and a series of valves which close down and stop the flow of hydrocarbons into the marine environment.
