Enhancing Oil Spill Response Capability in the Baltic Sea Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

The OIL SPILL project helps to improve cooperation between competent authorities, NGOs and volunteers in combatting oil spills in shallow and coastal waters of the Baltic Sea faster, more effectively and more efficiently. Together with universities, the partners identify procedures across borders that need to be aligned, develop and carry out trainings and exercises, and clarify key legal issues of cooperation in oil spills response.

Achievements (EN):

Mapping provides an overview and enables recommendations: The OIL SPILL project helped strengthen cooperation between competent authorities, NGOs, and volunteers in tackling oil spills in shallow and coastal waters of the Baltic Sea. As the project intended to identify and align administrative and other procedures in high-hazard environments, it mapped the operations in the partner countries. The operation practices had relevance to regulatory aspects, legislation; oil spill contingency plan and national contingency plan; response coordination; involvement of non-governmental organizations; rules of financing recovery and restoration; and best practices in financing preventive measures. Based on the mapping exercise, the project provided recommendations on what needs to be done to make the oil spill response faster and more efficient. Oil spill response gets faster and more efficient: In addition, the involved public authorities had the possibility to actually improve their oil spill response operational practices. It was done thanks to the cross-border exchange of information and training. Besides, the project targeted NGOs and volunteers (e.g. the ones specialising in civil protection, fire and rescue services (voluntary firefighting brigades)) that improved their oil spill response capacity thanks to the provided exercises and closer collaboration with the responsible authorities. In training, the project used simulators in oil spill response. As an example, one of the largest oil spill response exercises was in Vellamo (Turku, Finland). SW Finland Emergency Services organised training where the exercise combined the activities of OIL SPILL, Host Nation Support, and SAAME, the annual OSR exercise at the Finnish Archipelago Sea. The exercise included rescue activities carried out by the responsible authorities and volunteers during a large-scale spill. https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/oil-spill/
