About Ecoa

A New Business Association for Europe’s Oil Spill Industries and Marine Pollution

ECOA is a membership association created for the European Oil Spill and Marine Pollution Industries. It exists to promote, connect and support the companies and organisations working across oil spill and marine pollution.

Launched in partnership with the French organisation Sycopol, ECOA has been developed to give the sector a pan-European platform. 


The association is industry-focused, European in scope and built around practical value for members.

Why Ecoa Exists

Europe Needs a Collective Industry Platform

The European oil spill industry was built around the equipment, expertise and resources needed to respond and manage major spill disasters. 


Today, the challenge is wider. Europe now faces broader marine pollution risks, changing environmental pressures and growing geopolitical threats, including high-risk areas such as the Baltic region.


ECOA has been created to cooperate with existing national organisations in countries such as Norway, France and the UK, bringing the wider European sector together through one collective industry group.
