Virtual Incident Command Post

Last month we had an exciting opportunity to run an oil spill exercise for bp Shipping using a specifically designed VICP created by SpillConsult (more about our VICP in link). In conjunction with bp Mauritania and Senegal, where the simulated ship collision took place, we were able to facilitate the IMT from all over the world remotely. 

As the exercise drew to a close, the team were left feeling more confident that if the worst were to occur they are prepared to respond. It was great to see the two IMT's work together and develop their incident management capabilities, even when it's not possible to be together in-person.
