Building capacity in preparedness for and response to marine pollution incidents was the focus of an in-person subregional workshop on compensation for oil pollution damage held in Tunis, Tunisia (18 to 19 October 2022).
The subregional workshop aimed at training personnel from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia on liability and compensation for oil pollution damage. This is in the context of preparing their respective national systems to respond to marine pollution incidents involving oil and/or hazardous and noxious substances.
The workshop was delivered by the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) through IMO's Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP).
