Service Contracts for Stand-by Oil Spill Recovery Vessels

The Agency provides additional response capacity to that of the pollution response mechanisms of EU Member States through contractual arrangements with private or public companies/consortia. Such companies/consortia can be drawn from any relevant industry including shipowners/operators and the spill response service providers.

The contracted vessels would undertake normal commercial activities and, at request, be transformed and mobilised at short notice for at-sea oil recovery services during a (major) oil spill.

This procurement procedure for stand-by oil spill recovery vessels will cover the following geographical areas:

1. Southern Black Sea;
2. Northern Baltic Sea.

Nevertheless, it would be appreciated for logistic purposes to receive an e-mail (CPNEG172016@emsa.europa.eu) indicating the participation in the meeting.
