Consulting engineering: revision of the national marine pollution response plan
Supporting a country involved in offshore exploration and production in revising its marine pollution response plan
Protecting the country's natural resources and coastline, preventing marine pollution accidents
The project
Many countries are involved in offshore exploration and production. But the intensification of maritime traffic in the areas concerned increases the risk of accidental water pollution. Cayambe was hired to help one of these countries revise its maritime pollution control plan. This mission was based on fieldwork and meetings with local and national, public and private stakeholders. Following this review, a major national simulation exercise was carried out to assess the effectiveness of the system in real-life conditions.
