With the establishment of contingency planning in the southwest Barents Sea, it will be possible to further strengthen emergency preparedness and cooperation in this area. This will not only benefit the two temporary fixed facilities, but also drilling facilities and other vessels that are periodically situated in the area.
The consent is given, among other things, on the basis of the meeting and the documentation submitted in connection with the application.
Area contingency planning
Area contingency planning is the collaboration on emergency preparedness between several facilities and fields with the intention of sharing maritime and airborne emergency response resources. This may include emergency response vessels, SAR helicopters and other resources.
