Objectives

• Starting from the risk scenarios of Brazil, Mauritius and Peru and their incidents of oil spills allow the  participants to explore the future preparedness needs in response of strategies to changing fuels, cargoes, scuttled vessels, evolving global weather patterns and the demands of crisis communications.  

• Understand the historical model of the existing Contingency Plans in Brazil, Mauritius and Peru and the reasons for organizing the response.

• Understand the causes of these incidents, the main events that triggered them, the participation of the main actors in it.

• Visualize the environmental and socio-economic effects that the spill produced in the affected regions and communities.

• Understand the organization of the ICS developed by the authorities to deal with spills and, in parallel, the activities monitoring scheme established by the authorities of Brazil, Mauritius and Peru.

• Present the response strategies used by participating OSROs in these responses and their effectiveness.

• Visualize the effectiveness of the international support received by Mauritius and Peru, after their request for help from the UN and friendly countries.

• Understand the work of recovery and rehabilitation of wildlife developed by the NGOs in Mauritius and Peru (AIUKA) and in this case that of the Brazilian specialists assigned for such purposes.

• Visualize the lessons learned for Brazil and Latin America from these spills and scuttled strategies, considered the ones with the greatest consequences for the Indian Ocean area and for Latin America in this 21st century due to their environmental and socio-economic effects.

Expected results

With the direct participation of tankers with destination and origin in Brazil, it is expected that the Brazilian and Latin American participants will be able to assimilate the lessons learned in these level of incidents and spills, specially with evolving global weather patterns and demands of crisis communications, and with consequences in marine and coastal impacts, which occurred in the coastal areas of Brazil, Mauritius and the Peru. Likewise, to analyze the effect of not having the National Contingency Plans updated in both cases, which implied delays in the organization and in the notification and assessment stages, with consequences. In the same way, understand the importance of being able to configure the COP (Common Operational Figure), which implies that all the actors get involved and visualize-agree on the scenarios that arise during these spills, in order to facilitate and make decision-making effective.  Analyze the role in the response of the intervening OSROs, local, regional and international, pointing out aspects that can improve their management and lessons learned for Brazil and Latin America.
