A recent case of pollution in the Baltic Sea has shed light on how the new SafeSeaNet incident report module can bring added operational value to cross-border communication in an emergency.
On 2 April, lumps of oil several metres wide were found in bands along the coastline of the Baltic Sea, north-eastern Germany. Drift modelling showed that the pollution was also likely to affect the neighbouring Polish coast, so German services sent an incident report through SafeSeaNet to their counterparts in Poland.
The Polish authorities activated local pollution response services,and directed aerial surveillance to the area. Their pollution prevention actions were then fed into the initial SafeSeaNet incident report, which was sent back through the central SafeSeaNet system to Germany.
This example shows clearly how cross-border communication through SafeSeaNet can be effective in fighting pollution.
