40 specialists of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) have been recently trained to liquidate aftermath of oil spill.
The event was organised by the Baku OSCE office and it was aimed at strengthening the company’s potential for implementation of the national plan of unforeseen oil spill.
The plan of efficient measures for oil spill prevention was worked out by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Emergency Situations at the end of October 2013.
“The plan is aimed at close cooperation with the oil companies operating in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea and we are ready to further assist to train the company’s staff to react to oil spill,” said Emmanuel Hatzinger, chief of the Economic and Ecological Department of the Baku OSCE office.
SOCAR has been recently paying a special attention to the environment issues. It bought special equipment and trained its staff.—0---
