Sustainability in marine incidents
- Sustainability in marine incident management: Designed to provide a foundational understanding of how evolving
sustainability frameworks can affect and be applied to the response of marine casualties, pollution events and wreck removals.
- In this course participants will learn:
- Emerging sustainability and environmental regulations, how they diverge from the existing maritime-specific international regulatory regime and what this may mean for managing a response to marine incidents.
- How environmental, socioeconomic and governance related risks are critical in determining the impact of an incident.
- How to systematically identify relevant risks and how this can be used when planning later phases of a response or wreck removal.
- Practical mitigation and management measures with worked examples that can be deployed to improve the overall response, reducing the overall impacts and duration of an incident and its response.
- What to monitor throughout a response to improve adaptive decision-making and report on key sustainability indicators for broader corporate reporting goals.
1-day course delivered in-person or online.
Pollution preparedness and response
- Oil spill response training: OPRC Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. We deliver the standard IMO model courses, tailored to suit the specific needs of clients. Modules are built up to reflect particular situations, resources, conditions and needs. Additional modules that are not part of the IMO model courses can be integrated into courses, including response and post-impact monitoring of terrestrial spills from shore-based storage facilities.
2-day , 4-day or 5-day course
- Response to incidents in remote or logistically constrained locations: a modified version of the OPRC model courses with a focus on adaptable incident management systems, using locally available resources and developing pragmatic clean-up and waste management plans. Suitable for facilities, ports and other areas with limited resources or located in remote locations.
2-day, 4-day or 5-day course
- SCAT training: The shoreline cleanup assessment technique is a systematic survey method to support development of clean-up plans and monitor the efficacy of the tactics used.
1-day course
Interactive workshops
- Contingency planning workshops designed to ensure pollution contingency plans really reflect realistic conditions and can be relied upon as a critical tool in the event of an incident. Workshops include a detailed review of the situation, questionnaires of relevant personnel, in-depth stakeholder mapping, testing of processes through interactive exercises and an assessment of resource requirements. These can be standalone activities or delivered as part of a wider contingency planning consultancy project.
- Tabletop incident scenarios and exercises for testing various elements of existing pollution contingency plans.
- Sustainability strategy development: a one-day intensive session designed to kickstart an organisation’s internal sustainability strategy development process. We have designed exercises to capture core, necessary information that are the building blocks to a compliant and fit-for purpose strategy. During this session, exercises will identify: all key stakeholders as well as their roles within the value chain; key material topics for the organisation’s value chain; specific risks and impacts associated with these, and; brainstorm potential opportunities base on practical and real-life case studies. All information captured by the workshop is recorded and contextualised in a final report.
