The shoreline and coastal task forces serve as an extension and reinforcement of this enduring preparedness.<\/p>\n
Annual oil spill response drills play a crucial role in our preparedness efforts. Members of NOFO’s specialist team actively participate in these drills, serving as advisory staff, spill site leaders, and team leaders. This engagement allows for the practice of routines, thereby enhancing competence in oil spill preparedness.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”Coastal task force (IGK)” open_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ icon_color=”#1D4289″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”26px” open_icon_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”27px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#1D4289″ title_level=”h3″ title_font_size=”22px” title_line_height=”32px” closed_title_font_size=”22px” closed_title_line_height=”32px” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”30px|40px|26px|30px|false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_color_all=”#dce3eb” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur=”39px” box_shadow_spread=”0px” box_shadow_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” title_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ open_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open_icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ box_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” box_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(29,66,137,0.08)”]<\/p>\n
Vessels for NOFO’s coastal oil spill preparedness<\/strong><\/p>\n NOFO enhances its coastal oil spill preparedness through agreements with shipowners in the coastal fishing fleet and service vessels.<\/p>\n In collaboration with approved companies such as Polarkonsult and Nordnorsk Skipskonsult, the vessels undergo modifications and conversions to comply with regulations governing the use of vessels in oil spill response operations.<\/p>\n Numerous crews have received oil spill response training in Nordkapp, Sandnessj\u00f8en, and Kristiansund as part of NOFO’s initiative to provide training and conduct vessel drills. This initiative has significantly increased the knowledge and expertise of the crews along the coastline in the collection and uptake of oil emulsion.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Emergency shoreline task force (IGSA)” open_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ icon_color=”#1D4289″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”26px” open_icon_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”27px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#1D4289″ title_level=”h3″ title_font_size=”22px” title_line_height=”32px” closed_title_font_size=”22px” closed_title_line_height=”32px” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”30px|40px|26px|30px|false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_color_all=”#dce3eb” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur=”39px” box_shadow_spread=”0px” box_shadow_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” title_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ open_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open_icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ box_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” box_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(29,66,137,0.08)”]<\/p>\n IGSA is a specialized response team designed to address acute oil spills along the shoreline resulting from operations on the Norwegian continental shelf.<\/p>\n Comprising members recruited from Finnmark, IGSA was initially established as part of the preparedness framework for the Goliat field. However, its capabilities extend to potential mobilization for service in other coastal areas of Norway.<\/p>\n IGSA’s primary objective is to minimize the damage caused by potential oil approaching the coast. In emergency situations, the task force deploys high-speed boats and appropriate equipment for swift and effective oil collection along the shoreline.<\/p>\n Established in December 2011, the task force has been in operational preparedness service since late summer 2012. Its members undergo specialized training and actively participate in drills, integrated into NOFO’s permanent preparedness setup.<\/p>\n The “task force” concept was developed through collaboration between Eni Norge (now V\u00e5r Energi) and Equinor in partnership with NOFO.<\/p>\n Contact person:<\/strong><\/span> [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”NOFO’s specialist team” open_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_text_color=”#1D4289″ icon_color=”#1D4289″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”26px” open_icon_color=”#1D4289″ open_toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”27px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#1D4289″ title_level=”h3″ title_font_size=”22px” title_line_height=”32px” closed_title_font_size=”22px” closed_title_line_height=”32px” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”30px|40px|26px|30px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_color_all=”#dce3eb” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_blur=”39px” box_shadow_spread=”0px” box_shadow_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” title_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_text_color__hover=”#D50032″ open_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open_icon_color__hover=”#D50032″ box_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” box_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(29,66,137,0.08)” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The special team is NOFO’s task force with the expertise and capacity to take care of operational aspects of coastal and beach zone operations.

Fishermen possess extensive insights into seabed conditions, sea currents, and how wind and weather influence local factors. Additionally, utilizing smaller vessels offers a distinct advantage in coastal operations by enabling closer access to the shore.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NOFO operates national oil spill response teams including coastal, shoreline, and specialist units to ensure 24\/7 readiness across the Norwegian Continental Shelf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3821,"parent":4005,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4129","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4129\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4005"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nofo.no\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
