Content of this presentation
Seafaring and Logistics Department, City of KOTKA, Finland
•SOKO I 2003-2007 Pilot project
•SOKO II 2007-2011 Ongoing
SOKO is led and managed by the Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences
The Baltic Sea is a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (IMO)
Map: University of Turku 2008
The Gulf of Finland• Unique marine ecosystem - Brackish-water • Slow exchange of water - Highly sensitive to pollution• Shallow waters, Rocky shores and Narrow fairways• Wavy shoreline and large archipelago• Long periods of ice

Significantly increasing traffic volumes
• Responsable for management and control of oil and chemical spill response
• Responsable for oil spill response at open sea
•Guides and controls municipalities, owners of harbours, docks, and industrial and storage plants which are obliged to organise oil spill response measures
•Takes care of oil spill response in the sea area (not open sea) and on land

Oil and chemical response in Finland
• A joint development program for planning
HOW TO GET A LARGE AMOUNT OF OILY WASTE FROM POINT A TO POINT B
• Scaled on the worst case oil spill that has come ashore
• A complementary study to the statutory contingency plans
• Practical guidelines, helping the response commander in delegating tasks
• Results are collected in region specific comprehensive guidebooks
What is SOKO?
• 5 Regional Rescue Services• 2 Regional Environment Centres• Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
Our main clients are
• Studies undertaken mainly by further education students
• Project steering group composed of oil combating authorities, trans agency co-operation
• A temporary project will end in year 2011
Method
• Regional SOKO teams
Designated Rescue and Environment officers and person from the SOKO project
• Identify unresolved issues in preparedness• Supervise studies and evaluate the result• Working together transparently and openly
Method
Other oil spill authorities, educational institutes, civic organisations and businesses etc
SOKO endorses a large group of partners

Forming the “big spill” organisation
Shoreline divided into sectors and lines
Shoreline is in sectors, lines and transport points
Cleaning operations
directed effectively
Polluted areas are easy to locate
End point of sector
End point of line
Transportation spot
Sectors separatedby colors
PYH40 = Symbol of sector (locality, serial number)
Operative charts
Assessment forms, reconnaissance instructions
“Survey on feet” exercise for testing reconnaissance plan, operative charts and shoreline assessment form
Health & Safety issues• Frequently changing troops, volunteers• What are the risks on the accident site?• How to organise health and safety at work and occupational health care?• Who is responsible for that?• Medical inspection before, during and after the work?
• Dispersants and in situ burning are not used in Finland (SYKE)
• Hard working environment & sensitive archipelago• Difficultly accessible shores• Mechanical means are used when adequate
Arranging manual cleaning
• A functional logistical chain is a necessity• Sufficient sea, road and railway transportation• Route planning, transit times, vessel types, availability• Loading and discharging equipment, sites• Legislation
Transportation of oily wastes
Loading and discharging charts & documents
• Driving instructions to the waste collecting points
• Every road leading to the collecting point is driven through
• Review of the transportation law and liability issues
• Forms for contracts of affreightment
Road and railway transportation
Driving Instructions, GPS points Driving Instructions, GPS points
• Adequate areas to build up storage sites are charted and documented
Temporary storing
Conclusions• The SOKO plan: when the incident rises to the major scale oil
washes ashore important resources are needed
• Large number of projects partners involves risks, but brings together those who would naturally come together to respond
• To ensure the whole logistic chain is considered reducing the response time minimising environmental damage & response costs
