    During an oil spill leaders need to take an overview of the situation and delegate; communicate vision and priorities; promote team spirit and information sharing; and consider long-term resource requirements. The ability to make decisions efficiently and effectively is essential for good leadership during an oil spill and sometimes this may need to be done without all of the information to hand. So, how do our leaders achieve this? What are the tools and techniques used by leaders during an oil spill response?

    Wednesday,
    12 October 2022

    The key note address shall be delivered at the start of the first day of the conference and shall focus on the 3 pillars of the theme of the conference - Readiness, Response and Resilience which are all required to achieve sustainable clean seas.

    “Readiness” should cover organization's state of readiness, in terms of equipment, people and processes. Equipment needs to be suitable, accessible and ready to deploy for the envisaged situations. People need to be trained and competent in use of equipment and in responding to environmental incidents, and processes need to be documented, understood and well-practiced. Although prevention is the optimal drive to stop spills to sea in the first place, we must all be “ready” in case of the unplanned or unthinkable happens, as history as shown us, they can still happen with disastrous consequences.

    “Response” should cover organization's ability to respond quickly and effectively to sea spill incidents for all foreseeable scenarios and sizes, including working/collaborating with other peer companies, authorities, contractors and oil spill response / environmental organizations, to minimize the impact of spills on the environment, on people, and on dependent businesses (fishing, tourism etc.).

    “Resilience” should cover organization's ability to successfully “weather the storm” of managing a major spill to sea, in terms of successfully responding to the incident and the aftermath (protecting people, the environment and the assets); managing reputation amongst authorities, stakeholders, shareholders and the media; learning from experience and from others; and ultimately maintaining business continuity and surviving as a business. Being prepared for all foreseeable eventualities (in or out of your control) and working with other organizations will vastly enhance resilience.

    The audience should be left with a clear impression of the conference theme, energized to participate in it, and be left confident they will leave with some good learnings/knowledge, to implement back in their organizations to contribute to the sustainable clean sea’s initiative.

    Technical Session 1 Al Dana 1

    Theme : Oil Spill Preparedness & Response

    The principle of tiered preparedness and response is recognized by industry as the basis on which to establish a robust oil spill preparedness and response capability. It selects the resources required to be mobilized and transported to the spill location. In this session, speakers discuss the concepts of Contingency Planning; the use of NEBA / SIMA in the planning process; surveillance, modelling and visualization in response and implementing response techniques.

    Technical Session 2 Al Dana 2

    Theme : Oil Spill Impact: Environment | Economy | Community

    This Technical session shall focus on the impact that oils spills have, not just on the environment but also on the local or national economies, and communities. While oil spills impacts are sometimes perceived as “recoverable”, they can still have slight or disastrous consequences with short and/ or long-term effects on the environment, economy and the community. The session can be used to discuss historical case events for lessons learned purposes, or highlight/promote awareness of particular regional sensitivities, requirements or areas of concern (whether they be environmental sensitive areas, important ecosystems, economic dependences and community requirements) that need to be considered in managing our business and potential oil spills. Whilst the audience will generally know we need to prevent and minimize the impact of oil spills, this session should be used to highlight “why” it's important, particularly with local/regional tangible or relevant historical content/evidence, so we know “what/who” it is we are trying to protect, and “how” best achieve this. Increasing awareness of the spectrum of tangible local impacts that oils spills can have, means an informed and responsible organisation can better its capability and culture to achieve sustainable clean seas in everyone's best interests.

    Theme : Global Collaboration

    Oil spills and their associated impacts do not respect jurisdictional boundaries or human politics. Global collaboration initiatives serve the purpose to bring organisations together to work in partnership. This can be equally successful for preparedness and response activities. In this technical session, speakers will present examples of successful global collaboration initiatives and how organisations can come together and work on oil spill preparedness and response.

    Topic: Global Collaboration: Lessons Learned & Future Challenges

    This panel will be covering the overall aspect of how building resilience into oil spill preparedness requires the right knowledge and skills in the right place at the right time. To be effective in managing potential oil spills, the entities scope to ensure having the right competencies, they have to identify:

  • who needs to be trained - auxiliary or dedicated professional teams
  • what are the training needs - type and level of training to be given
  • how the skills and knowledge acquired in training shall be tested using an exercise program

    • It is each entity's role to decide what works best for them. What's common for all the industry is the minimum expectations in building competency, assessing the adequacy of readiness in exercises and capturing lessons learned.

    Technical Session 6 Al Dana 3

    Theme : Salvage Operation & Compensation

    Serious sea-related disasters have reduced in number due to technological advancement and marine safety improvements, however, shipping casualties continue to occur as a result of collision, fire, grounding, structural failure and mechanical breakdown either because of natural perils associated with ocean transportation or due to inherent potential for human error. In some instances, vessels sink and take their cargoes with them to the seabed which poses a serious threat to the marine environment. The process of marine salvage is to recover cargo, shipwreck or other maritime casualties.

    In this technical session, the speakers will discuss the salvage contracts and compensation to salvors for their services. Speakers will explain various categories for salvage contracts, the compensation paid to the salvors, and various challenges faced by the salvor. The session discusses the expertise of others working in extreme environment on how the salvage industry continues to make advances in their operations for oil detection, removal and recovery and what types of claims are eligible for compensation from an oil spill.
