Organisation Chart
The Executive Committee (ExCom) is OCIMF’s senior decision-making body, comprising representatives from a maximum of 15 members, including the Chair and Vice Chair(s) who are ex officio members. Members of the Executive Committee are elected at the Annual General Meeting. Reporting to ExCom, OCIMF’s Secretariat runs the organisation day to day and provides coordination, assurance and risk insight to support member-led governance and decision-making.
OCIMF’s committees, which deliver the organisation’s outcomes, are made up of subject experts from across OCIMF’s global membership. The structure comprises three Principal Committees which oversee strategic priorities and convene specialist Expert Groups and Working Groups to deliver specific outputs, such as information papers and safety guidance updates. Four Functional Committees provide cross-cutting expertise on legal, human factors, environment and maritime security across committee and group work. Communities of Practice (CoPs), set up as extensions of Expert Groups, provide learning forums where members and relevant stakeholders can share knowledge and insight, build common understanding and support consistent practice.
