On April 26th and 27th, 2024, the Port’s Harbour Master’s Office organized a series of accidental marine pollution simulation exercises in the Port’s anchorage area and basins.

These simulations involved the participation of various equipment and teams: the Port’s MARPOL barge, a tugboat, a mooring launch, the Port’s Safety and Response Officers, and the Port Safety Brigade team. Three experts from the French Center for Documentation, Research, and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution (CEDRE) were also present.

CEDRE experts tested and inspected the Port Authority’s anti-pollution equipment, as part of the Intervention and Technical Assistance Agreement between TMPA and this center of expertise in marine pollution preparedness and response.
