EXERCISE SABRINA - PRESS STATEMENT

Jointly with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, at Clevedon on 16th October BP Shipping is taking part in an Oil Spill Response exercise, to test North Somerset’s Oil Pollution Plan and the UK’s national emergency response plan, which seek to protect our coastline.

Much thought and preparation goes into these essential plans, but an actual exercise could highlight areas for possible improvement.

While this will include local deployment of people and equipment, it will not involve a vessel or any escape of oil. We hope and believe that there will be no disruption to residents and businesses, and thank them for their understanding during this short test of plans and processes.
