Abstract

ABSTRACT The Port of Marseille Authority has established measures both for the prevention of oil pollution and for mounting a rapid, effective response to any spills that do occur. These include an Integrated Regulations Center that provides necessary documents to port users advising them of port rules and regulations, the providing of waste removal services for materials from ships' rubbish to oily ballast waters, and stockpiles of cleanup equipment such as booms, sorbents, and skimmers. A pollution response organization—GAPAM—also has been set up to plan for and carry out major cleanup operations.
