stations• Establish more oil spill
recovery bases• Increase the tug boat
capacity• Refugeports and
groundingareas to be further developed

Existing agreements:• Exchange of information
concerning nuclear warnings• Oil-pollution agreement • Military agreement for
preventing situations in territorial waters
• Agreement for SAR operations
