On Tuesday, November 12, the first regular meeting of the Emergency Response Network was held at the Port of Grenaa, where 30 representatives from a wide range of companies at the port met to strengthen cooperation on emergency response, safety and the environment.
The network, which was started about a year ago, has been a direct response to the growing realization of how important it is for port businesses to know each other's resources and be able to collaborate quickly in the event of incidents. There was a lot of interest and support from the participants, who recognized the importance of a strong emergency response network, both to handle future crises and to create closer cooperation between the different actors at the port.
The steering committee, consisting of representatives from Stena Recycling A/S, Stena Line, Rohde Nielsen and the Port of Grenaa, was established after the kick-off meeting last year and is now in the process of further developing the network and the upcoming activities that will help strengthen preparedness across the companies.
The network includes both large and small players, all working closely together to build a robust preparedness structure. We are excited about the ideas and collaborative initiatives that will come out of these meetings and look forward to sharing experiences and knowledge that can help keep people, the environment and business safe at the port.
