Each safety region closely collaborates with local authorities and coordinates the local intervention operations. In case of incident they have to pay attention that the message they receive is very clear and according to the severity of the incident. If they take a wrong decision, for example the supra estimate the severity of an oil spill, the polluter has the legal means to prosecute the decision. As well, if there are not enough cleaning means, or poor intervention, the officer in charge is also responsible for his poor service.
In the eventuality of pollution incidents at sea, The Netherlands disposes of own means of intervention and cleaning equipment. Figure 14 presents the location and the coastal vessels that are prepared to respond in case of oil pollution at sea.
