National workshop on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (Level 3) – Aug 14, 2024
HAPPENING NOW: IMO TRAINING COURSE ON OIL POLLUTION PREPAREDENESS, RESPONSE AND COOPERATION LEVEL 3 (STRATEGIC) in Lebanon (online)
The Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) in close co-operation with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Lebanon Petroleum Administration (LPA), is currently holding an online Training Course on Oil pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation Level 3 (Strategic). The course is financed by the IMO’s Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP).
The Online course gathered over 20 participants from various competent authorities in Lebanon, with the aim to provide senior managers and administrators with a comprehensive understanding of the roles and responsibilities involved in managing oil spills of national significance. It also addresses the numerous, often conflicting challenges that may be encountered during such events.
In recognizing the importance of the ratification and effective implementation of the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990 (OPRC 90) to prompt effective action and minimize the damage which may result in the event of an oil pollution incident, the IMO has developed the OPRC-HNS Model Training Courses in order to assist its Member States in their efforts to build national capacity in preparing for and responding to Oil Spill incidents.
The implementation of the OPRC Convention training-related issues are referred to in its article 6, where Parties undertake to establish programmes to train relevant personnel in oil spill preparedness and response for the four levels of response training: Level (0): Awareness Level, level (1) First Responders (Operational), level (2): Supervisors and On-Scene Commanders (Tactical), and Level (3): Administrators and Senior Managers (Strategic).
