September 2001 TO ALL MEMBERS Dear Sirs THE INTERNATIONAL TANKER OWNERS POLLUTION FEDERATION LTD (ITOPF) Reference is made to Club Circular 5:ITOPF of 26 April 2001 enclosing the latest ITOPF Handbook. ITOPF are now keen to establish direct links with ship operating companies and more particularly the contact person(s) responsible for oil spill prevention and response. They have requested that we pass the attached “Contact Person Survey” form to all our Members. We should be most grateful if our Members’ contact person(s) would complete and return this form to ITOPF, in order to facilitate direct lines of communication with them in case of a pollution incident. Yours faithfully A BILBROUGH & CO LTD (MANAGERS) 5:ITOPF/a
