About

Founded in 1993, NOSCA – the Norwegian Oil Spill Control Association – is a non-profit cooperative of companies, R&D institutions and government pollution control authority

Accidental discharges are the nightmare of the oil industry. To the vulnerable marine environment, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as even a few lost hours in response time could mean the difference between a minor mishap or a major disaster. Founded in 1993, NOSCA – the Norwegian Oil Spill Control Association – is a non-profit cooperative of companies, R&D institutions and government pollution control authority SFT, established to develop equipment and contingency planning for oil spill emergencies. NOSCA members join forces to share their environmental technologies worldwide, assisting other nations, port authorities and private companies to build an effective contingency infrastructure for oil spill prevention and recovery. Nosca's efforts to share its collective environmental knowledge with other countries in the world have resulted in a comprehensive network of experts and recourses.
