The webinar will feature a panel discussion with Witt O’Brien’s Mike Gallagher and Navigate Response’s Edward Ion. Mike Elsom of Navigate Response will moderate. During the 60 minute session, the panel will be discussing key questions like:

• What were the causes and contributing factors to the accident?
• How were the clean-up and salvage operations conducted?
• What impact did the spill have on local communities?
• How did the media react?
• How did shipping regulations change as a result?
