European Ports of Refuge: EMSA Hold Exercise

Almost all member states were represented for this EMSA (European Maritime Safety Agency) maritime safety exercise, directed by Hugh Shaw, the UK SoSRep, which was hosted by the Port of Rotterdam, with a planning group drawn from Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Ireland, Malta and the Netherlands. The scenario for the exercise – ‘Ocean Traveller –  was the hypothetical collision between a tanker and a container vessel in the southern North Sea.
