Apply for Membership
Based on industry feedback, COS has updated its membership terms and dues to encourage new members and engage a larger portion of the offshore workforce to meet important safety and sustainability objectives, while enabling the industry to remain a foundational part of our nation’s economy. Annual dues have been eliminated for API members and reduced to $5,000 for non-members, including contractors and other service providers. Membership criteria has been clarified to include not only a fully operational safety and environmental management system (SEMS) but also SEMS equivalents based on the service provided (e.g., API Spec Q2).
