During operations, the strategy to be applied is chosen according to the information provided about the state of the vessel in difficulty, the geographical location of the incident, the weather conditions and the observations gathered by other vessels or aircraft on site.
The choice of a response strategy is never definitive and will evolve in real time during the intervention.
CEPPOL, through its presence at every operation, provides its expertise in implementing the strategy.
Every response strategy is based on the deployment of several operational techniques which may be combined or adapted on a case by case basis.
