Le Floch Dépollution is still involved in the MARENDA Project which aim at improving data management and exchange in and between ports and to improve emergency response capacity against maritime pollution in five countries of Western and Central Africa.
In this context, 2 consultants from our maritime service participated in this seminar which was held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast from September 28th to October 7th, 2016 to conduct this training divided in two phases :
- The first phase consisted in providing a theoretical training on oil spill response for the various authorities in charge of such pollutions (Administrations, local authorities and industrials)
- The second phase included a table-top exercise of crisis management, to evaluate their readiness in a specific simulation scenario
The participants were able to test their new national contingency plan and thus determine the actions to undertake to improve their oil spill response capabilities.
