MANIFESTS Genius project: 3rd coordination meeting in Lisbon
2024
Last week, Cedre travelled to Portugal to attend in a key meeting, kindly hosted by our partner Instituto Superior Técnico, as part of the MANIFESTS Genius project.
This meeting marked an important milestone as the first time the members of the project advisory committee met with the project partners in person.
The aim of this two-day meeting was to review the project’s progress (coordination, communication, experiments on underwater gas leaks and modelling, development of accident scenarios, etc.).
Two mini operational exercises were also organised to define scenarios for upcoming exercises:
- An underwater leak of pressurised natural gas,
- A Li-ion battery fire on board a ferry.
These two exercises provided an opportunity to work closely with key players on the advisory committee. Thanks to their expertise, the scenarios developed will be as realistic as possible and will be able to be used for the table-top exercises scheduled as part of the project.
