In the context of the SAFEMED IV project, twelve participants from Jordan, Morocco and Libya have undergone the live-broadcasting training course on CleanSeaNet Service on 26-27 January 2021. This training was open only to those countries which had previously signed the Condition of Use for CleanSeaNet services provided by EMSA.

The training session aimed at the familiarization with the SafeSeaNet Ecosystem Graphical User Interface (SEG), which is the common web interface which serves multiple maritime user domains. These include, but are not limited to, Vessel Traffic Monitoring, Marine Pollution Monitoring, Maritime Law Enforcement, etc. SEG is designed to work on fixed and mobile devices including those enabled for touchscreen.

The course encompassed a step-by-step introduction of the SEG as well as practical exercises on the CleanSeaNet services which helped participants to familiarise with the functionalities of the Interface including the management of the oil spill alerts and the identification of potential polluters by overlapping information available. In a nutshell, CleanSeaNet supplements existing surveillance systems at national or regional level, strengthens beneficiary countries responses to illegal discharges, and supports response operations to accidental spills.
