National Shipping incident exercise off coast of Wales
A national shipping incident is under way off the Welsh coast.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency will be leading a
two-day exercise off the coast of Wales designed to test the response to a
serious shipping incident.
It will bring together the Port of Milford Haven, shipping
and salvage companies and environment groups, as well as the MCA and the
Department for Transport.
Called Exercise Celtic Deep, the event will run on 21 and
22 October off Milford Haven, with most participants taking part remotely, in line
with current Government COVID-19 guidelines.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is responsible for
the UK National Contingency Plan which details the UK’s response to marine
pollution from shipping and offshore installations.
