Membership

Full membership is open to organisations which have been trading European bulk oil for at least two years, with a minimum annual value of US$50 million. 

Associate membership is open to organisations providing a service to those eligible for full membership, such as technical consultants, insurance companies and law firms, which have been involved in the industry for at least two years.

Any applicant for membership must be proposed and seconded by an existing EBOTA Member. 

Forms should be completed as soon as possible to allow time for the approval process.

All Members are required to pay a one-off joining fee of £5,000, plus an annual subscription, which is £20,000 for a Full Member, and £10,000 for an Associate member as of 2024 (subject to EBOTA's introductory trial membership scheme and pro-rating for new Members who join part way through a calendar year). New Members are offered introductory trial membership, which reduces the annual subscription by 50% for the first calendar year of membership. The membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December. 

 On joining the Association, each Member expressly agrees to be bound by the Rules as they may be amended from time to time. 

All members are also required to agree to comply with detailed EBOTA Anti-Trust Guidelines, designed to avoid activities that might create, or increase a risk of raising, competition law concerns.
