Spill Response in Ports
This guide aims to provide operational answers to all the questions which responders may have on the choice of response techniques and materials suitable for small pollution incidents in ports and harbours.
Both seaports and inland ports–whether commercial ports, fishing harbours, marinas, cruise ports or military ports–are at risk of spills that can affect their water basin or their infrastructure, temporarily disrupting their operations.
This guide is designed for port operations and supervision officers and personnel, fire services, military fire-fighters, technical support personnel of ports or local authorities, oil storage facility and terminal personnel, crews of fishing, pleasure, military and commercial vessels, maritime training organisations, etc. It has a two-fold objective: to present the response framework, while providing guidance on spill prevention and on implementing an effective and appropriate response.
