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

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

What participants say
Hamed, Port Operations Manager – Maritime Terminal
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
“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.”
Omar, HSE Specialist – Shipping Company
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
“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.”
Faisal, Environmental Coordinator – Logistics
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
“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.”
