MEDEXPOL 2018, Valetta, Malta, 20-21 June 2018

Nicola Beer will be attending MEDEXPOL 2018, the regional workshop on response to spill incidents involving Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS). This is being organised by REMPEC and co-financed by the Mediterranean Trust Fund (MTF) and the IMO's Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme. The principal objectives of the workshop are:

1 to examine and agree upon draft guidelines on the risk of gaseous releases resulting from marine incidents;

2 to agree on the way forward for a joint inter-regional effort for updating response manuals for HNS spills; and

3 to provide an overview of achievements and ongoing work on guidelines and tools related to HNS and the way forward for future developments.

Nicola Beer will be presenting a paper on "Challenges of responding to HNS incidents and lessons learned" on Day 1 of the event.
