NOSCA SEMINAR, LOFOTEN, 9-13 SEPTEMBER 2013
20th International NOSCA Oil Spill Technology Seminar
12/04/2013
2013 is a very special year for the Norwegian Oil Spill Control Association (NOSCA): the association can proudly look back on 20 years of organising successful seminars, which have consistently covered relevant and topical issues related to oil spill preparedness and response. The 20th International NOSCA Oil Spill Technology Seminar will take place in the spectacular surroundings of Lofoten in northern Norway from 9 to 13 September 2013.
LofotenThis event is an excellent platform to share knowledge and experiences as well as getting personal relations to colleagues around the world. This year’s edition will have focus on oil spill in remote areas and vulnerable areas. With continued oil exploration in new and remote areas, new challenges are surfacing as a result of higher traffic in these regions. How should the higher drilling/ship activities be handled with respect to conflict of interest, legislation and vulnerable environments, and which tools should be used to clean up spills? The 20th NOSCA seminar addresses:
Oil Spill in Remote Areas:
- Oil activity and Fishery / Oil activity and Tourism – how to meet the challenges
- Oil Spill Response in Vulnerable Areas – how to be prepared
- Emergency Preparedness in Remote Areas
- Who’s responsible – different models in different countries
- Oil Spill Exercise: “Exercise Lofoten”
Lofoten is an area where the cod comes in every year to breed. Hundreds of millions of eggs and larvae are produced during this season. With potential large oil reservoirs in the same region, debates have been raging for years about whether the government should allow exploration drilling. This exercise will test the equipment to see if today’s technology will protect the sensitive environment surrounding Lofoten.
