Membership fee structure

GI SEA invites all interested industry organizations to join as members, including oil and gas companies across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, as well as shipping companies exposed to oil spill risks. Membership offers the opportunity to actively engage in regional initiatives, access key insights, and contribute to strengthening preparedness across Southeast Asia.
Membership is based on an annual contribution, structured into three bands that reflect the organization type and the level of geographical exposure. This tiered approach ensures a fair and transparent framework, allowing each member to participate according to their operational profile while supporting the project’s mission.
