The 4 day (32 hours) course is specifically tailored to meet MCA domestic legislation requirements and is aimed at local government officials, harbourmasters and managerial staff in the energy production and transportation industry who may have to command a response operation following an oil spill.

The management orientated course has a well balanced mix of both practical and theoretical aspects covering all issues encountered during an oil response, with a range of exercises to ensure delegates obtain a firm understanding of the requirements for an efficient spill operation.

Ambipar Response instructors understand how essential an effective contingency plan is during an oil spill response. They are therefore able to demonstrate to delegates how to create and implement a contingency plan following a spill from a command and management role.

The course can either be held at an Ambipar Response training facility or at a suitable location, convenient for the delegates.
