Abstract
The first exercise under the Agreement on Cooperation on Marine Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response in the Arctic was hosted by Canada, and organised by the Canadian Coast Guard as National Competent Authority for vessel source incidents. It was conducted in concert with the eight signatory nations to the Agreement, Denmark represented in coordination with Greenland and the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russian Federation and the United States of America. Individuals representing the 31 distinct agencies with specific responsibilities under the Agreement were involved in the exercise, executed in real time (simulated date) across all time zones.
