FIMA hosts MCA Level 2 Oil Spill Response training

Thia week FIMA played host to Oil Spill Response training provided by Briggs Marine using the oil spill kit available on the Falkland Islands. The idea behind the training was to build a core team of people who would be able to respond in an emergency to an incident within the Stanley harbour area. Key members of the Atlink port operations team, the FIG Environment department, SAERI, FIDF and the veterinary service took part in a comprehensive 2 days of theoretical and practical training ending with time spent deploying the equipment from FIPASS using a launch.
