Spillcon 2002, Asia Pacific's premier environmental pollution prevention and response conference is proudly organised by the Australian Institute of Petroleum and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, two of the key industry and government agencies in Australia's national arrangements. Spillcon is also endorsed by IPIECA, IMO, APPEA, MSANZ, AAPMA and ASA.

A highlight of Spillcon 2002 will be the keynote address from Kay Cottee, world renowned solo yachtswoman, who will pause in her latest yachting endeavour to bring her thoughts on the Conference theme "Keeping the Waters Clean". In addition, as this brochure shows, a wide selection of highest calibre national and international speakers will speak to this theme, covering the range of subjects from prevention through to response experiences.

The conference will be accompanied by an exhibition of response equipment and services suppliers, together with a display of oil spill response equipment on Sydney Harbour, which delegates will reach by a specially provided harbour ferry.

Accompanying guests are most welcome, with activities available listed in this brochure.

On behalf of AIP and AMSA, I have great pleasure in inviting you and your partner to join us in Manly in September for this very special event.
