WOC membership surge

World Ocean Council (WOC) membership surged over the past 12 months, with more than 25 new members joining the growing international cross-sectoral ocean business alliance.

The new WOC Members expand the sectoral range of the multi-industry coalition – bringing in fishing, submarine cables, supply chain operators, commodity shippers, fertilizers, geo-information systems, ocean data management, education – and add depth to the involvement of oil/gas, shipping, mining, science, technology, and other fields.

The new members also expand the WOC’s geographic scope to include Hong Kong, China, Singapore, New Zealand, and Greenland, as well as increasing the number of WOC companies in Europe, North America and Australia.
