The annual marine pollution response exercise, conducted on November 12, 2024, at Alimos Marina, was successfully completed, reaffirming the readiness and operational effectiveness of the marina’s “Emergency Response Plan for Marine Pollution” in safeguarding the marine environment.
The primary goal of the exercise was to ensure the efficient coordination of all parties involved, enabling a swift and effective response in the event of a pollution incident. This included the assessment of the staff’s preparedness, the functionality of the equipment, and the reliability of procedures to mitigate or minimize environmental impacts from marine pollution incidents.
The exercise was executed by the marina’s specially trained Anti-Pollution Team, with full involvement from the remaining staff, in cooperation with the pollution control company, New Naval S.A.
The event was overseen and monitored by senior officials from the A’ Floisvos Port Police, alongside the Director of Alimos Marina, Mr. Vlahos.
This initiative represents a significant advancement in reinforcing environmental protection and promoting sustainable development within the maritime and port infrastructure sectors.
