Protect port operations with rapid, effective spill preparedness.

This intensive 5-day programme equips maritime, environmental, and safety professionals with the skills to prevent port / terminal oil spills, coordinate emergency response, and manage efficient recovery. Through a blend of technical briefings, interactive simulations, and case reviews, you’ll learn regulatory frameworks, response logistics, environmental mitigation, and stakeholder coordination for maritime spill events.

Why this course is important

  • Port operations face high exposure to oil handling risks—rapid, well-coordinated response is essential to prevent environmental, reputational, and financial damage.
  • Regulatory demands are intensifying—professionals must understand legal frameworks, clean-up obligations, and liability responsibilities.
  • Cross-functional readiness is critical—response requires seamless coordination among operators, authorities, equipment providers, and affected communities.

Who should attend

  • Port authority and terminal operations managers overseeing oil, fuel, bunkering, or tanker operations
  • Environmental and safety officers in shipping, logistics, and maritime services
  • Emergency response coordinators and HSE specialists in oil import/export, bunkering, or tanker handling
  • Consultants, auditors, and planners supporting port resilience, spill contingency, or recovery strategies

What you will learn

During this hands-on five-day course, you will:

  • Understand oil spill mechanics: properties, behaviour, and trajectory modeling
  • Navigate legal frameworks: national and port-specific regulations, liabilities, UN and IMO standards
  • Develop preventive strategies: good operational practice and risk prevention across marine handling operations
  • Coordinate emergency logistics: alert triggers, alert escalation, equipment deployment, and multi-agency interface
  • Apply containment & recovery techniques: boom placement, skimming, vacuum, and sheening control
  • Manage shoreline clean-up: manual and mechanical techniques for sensitive coastal environments
  • Lead communications & stakeholder engagement: fast, accurate messaging to authorities, media, community and vessel operators
  • Design recovery & evaluation plans: post-spill audits, impact assessments, documentation and continuous improvement
  • Execute scenario simulations: real-time crisis exercises, spill drills, and inter-agency command coordination

What participants say

1 / 3
  • I learned practical shoreline clean‑up methods and effective stakeholder communications. I enjoyed the scenario-based command exercises, and I plan to lead a multi-agency spill drill at our port facility.
    Faisal, Environmental Coordinator — Logistics
  • Thanks you to the speaker who made this course so interesting. The legal and regulatory session clarified complex compliance requirements. I found the boom deployment drills informative, and I will apply these techniques in our next tanker bunkering operation.
    Omar, HSE Specialist — Shipping Company
  • The instructor gave me lots of help and ideas. I learned to model spill spread and deploy containment equipment correctly. The simulation exercises were highly useful, and I enjoyed coordinating with fellow stakeholders. I plan to update our port emergency response manual based on these learnings.
    Hamed, Port Operations Manager — Maritime Terminal
