Presentation
Fundamentals of Oil Spill Response
DescriptionThis eight-hour full-day course provides an introduction to the various components of an oil spill response. Through an interactive all-day tabletop exercise interspersed with a series of technical presentations, attendees will learn about the chemical and physical properties of oil, the effects of oil on environmental and economic resources, and techniques for responding to spills of oil at-sea and on the shoreline. Attendees will also gain an insight into the process for recovering costs following an oil spill. The course will be highly interactive, with attendees taking part in several exercises throughout the day to assist with understanding the topics presented, including an augmented reality (AR) experience to visualise and plan shoreline clean-up operations. This course will be taught in accord with the International Maritime Organization’s model course content.
