ISCO congratulates Wu Yue on the award of a major training contract from BP and on your training centre (SIOTEC) winning the World Safety and Health of Asia award. We are also glad to hear about the ongoing co-operation with ISCO’s Canadian member Aqua-Guard in the provision of oil spill training courses in China. This kind of international co-operation between ISCO members is a positive contribution towards fulfilling the organisation’s aim to increase worldwide preparedness and professional competency.
