Practical training at CEDRE for our German partners

CEDRE hosted a practical training course in Brest on oil spill response on the shoreline for around twenty participants – firefighters, civil protection services, volunteers, etc – liable to be mobilised by CCME – Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (Havariekommando) in the event of pollution on the German coastline. During this training, which involved exercises in the natural environment and at CEDRE’s facilities – with the release of real oil –, participants were able to try out various response techniques, both in rivers and on the shoreline.

This immersive course ended with an exercise in which trainees worked together to apply the knowledge and techniques acquired throughout the week to an optional situation.
