There have been talks of situations when a ship is in need of assistance and seeks a place of refuge to stabilize her state and mitigate hazards to shipping, humans, and the environment. Now, these talks turned into actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this November, Finnish ports, authorities, and other stakeholders joined together to discuss this matter in a series of meetings. The joint meetings were led by<strong> Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (TRAFICOM) <\/strong>and <strong>the Finnish Border Guard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Covid-19 situation challenges us to find new ways of working and forces us to keep meetings online, I can see the importance of this topic. When the ship is in need of assistance and a place to refuge, the process and course of action have to be clear for the different parties involved. Regarding that, we are planning to organize a tabletop exercise in autumn 2021, where the process is being tested in real life. This event will be an important part of our OIL SPILL activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Neste harbours, we look forward to the exercise. It is always good to practise cooperation between authorities and private companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neste owns and operates two industrial ports in Finland.
