Often, when a marine accident occurs, the lack of experience to solve this type of problem leads to situations of social chaos and alarm that can only be solved efficiently by leaving the resolution of the contingency in the hands of experts. Arcopol Platform aims to protect the coast from maritime pollution by connecting expertise along the Atlantic area and developing strategies to respond quickly and effectively to Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) spills. The coordinated work of trained stakeholders improves protocols and ensures a more efficient response to emergencies. There is no doubt that training exercises are the key to have better protocols and to improve the skills of the different participants involved in the response.
