I Issues and d llessons (1) • At-sea At sea response – public expectations – Response time – Equipment limitations

• Landbased response – resources – Acute phase vs vs. clean-up phase – Use of volunteers

• Priorities – Environmentally based – migratory birds – Special areas – geology geology, memorial places

• Public awareness and political focus – Prime minister and several ministers

I Issues and d llessons (2) • Shoreline clean clean-up up methods – Manual (hand cleaning) – Cleaning C agents tested and used – Burning weed assessed but rejected – Peppel beaches (geological special areas)

• International – Swedish Coast Guard • 3 at-sea at sea recovery vessels • 4 beach cleaner vessels • Aerial surveillance

First impressions • At grounding site • At sea – substantial recovery – international assistance – ice conditions (freeze-up and drift ice)

• On-shore –p patches over wide area – HES issues, down to - 20 deg C – relativelyy easyy to remove

• Overall impact unclear due to ice Norwegian Coastal Administration, Department for Emergency Response
