As seen in Figure 18, HEBO strategically located oil spill response vessels to provide a fast intervention service. Moreover, through the contractual agreement, HEBO is obliged to have enough cleaning equipment to ensure the intervention, in parallel, to two oil spill calls.
Intervention equipment of RijkswaterstaatThe responsibility for water quality of navigation ways in The Netherlands is held by the Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment. This responsibility is taken by RWS. Further, the water quality in The Netherlands was delegated to governmental and local authorities (provinces or even municipalities). For the water within the Port of Rotterdam, the cleaning and maintenance responsibility has been delegated to the RPA. Yet, RWS is still responsible for its quality, giving it the authority to control the actions taken by RPA. For example, when the RPA closes an oil spill cleaning contract with a private company, RWS has the authority to amend its content. Equally, in the eventuality of an oil spill event, representative of RWS can be involved in the intervention coordination center and contribute to the intervention coordination. RWS takes the coordination of intervention for oil spill events that happen outside the port basin. RWS has a cleaning contract with the same cleaning company, HEBO. In the eventuality of an oil spill event on the main river, Maas, similar intervention equipment as in the case of the port of Rotterdam is used. Intervention equipment of SchermenpoolSchermenpool (SRH) is an association of companies that takes care of the logistics, the maintenance and administration of oil protective equipment that exists in the port of Rotterdam. With the help from the fire brigade, they organize the transport and install the containment oil booms for a more effective oil spill intervention. The equipment administrated by SRH consist of oil booms, aluminium racks used to transport the oil booms and oil screens as shown in Table 10. Table 10. SRH oil containment and cleaning equipment
