HAZADR Project
project background
The Adriatic is one of the most sensitive sea in the
world due to its important oil transport route to the
North Adriatic ports of Trieste, Venice and Omišalj.
Additionally it hosts the 30% of the overall
international maritime traffic.
Pollution by oil, hazardous & noxious substances
may have disastrous consequences for the delicate
environment and important sea based economic
activities if adequate measures are not taken to
prevent and enhance general safety.
Over the past 15 years, a total of 174 accidents has
been recorded on the Adriatic: this warns that a joint
cooperation at all levels is necessary for a prompt
and efficient response.
HAZADR Project
the challenges
•
Adriatic area has been affected by numerous maritime
incidents: for example, the 2008 incident with the
Turkish ship «UND ADRIYATIK» revealed the lack of
organization and ability of regions and counties on
both sides of the Adriatic to deal with such incidents
at sea.
•
In some regions, inadequately trained and nonqualified personnel and extremely poor cross-border
coordination
among
bodies
involved
in
the
implementation of contingency plans.
•
Lack of appropriate equipment by regions and
counties in the Adriatic area.
•
Need of training and research centers in the Adriatic
area to homogenize diverging response procedures
and measures in case of sea pollution
HAZADR Project
general objective
the establishment of a cross - border network for the prevention of risks and the management of
emergencies, in order to reduce the risk of pollution and contamination of the Adriatic sea and to
strengthen a common reaction capacity of the communities belonging to the Adriatic Region against
environmental and technological hazards due to collisions, shipwrecking and spillage of oil and toxic
material into the sea that are able to affect the marine environment and economic activities of the Adriatic
coastal regions and counties.
HAZADR Project
Project Specific Objectives (1)
•
Upgrade the knowledge framework on the estimated
environmental and socio-economic risks in the most
vulnerable Adriatic areas due to natural and humaninduced factors.
•
Support decision-making process in preventing,
reacting and overcoming emergencies (also for the
benefit of countries not directly involved in the project but
treated by oil spillage contamination in case of
shipwrecks or collisions).
•
Harmonize, improve and shorten deployment time of
the cross-border reaction capacity in the toxic and
hazardous substances spill by enhancing the
coordination / reaction capacity in the Adriatic
EUROREGION.
HAZADR Project
Project Specific Objectives (2)
•
set up a common database on the state of readiness
and spatial distribution of pollution preventing
equipment along the Adriatic coasts as well as the
improvement of the operational instruments and oil spill
mitigation programs to cope with the environmental and
technological hazards.
•
Improve, through 2 cross-border joint exercises in
Adriatic and the establishment of an Adriatic Training
and Research Centre, the cross-border coordination
reaction capacity.
•
Improve an early warning system through a joint radar
monitoring program based on a set of radar systems
and VHF devices, leading to an advanced capacity of the
entrusted Euroregion actors to identify potential sources
of risks menacing ecosystems.

WP3 – Harmonizing national, regional & county contingency plans in Adriatic
• Leader: CNR
• Duration: 1.10.2012 – 31.01.2015 (28 months)
The purpose of WP3 is to harmonize response procedures and measures in national and regional contingency plans of individual
Adriatic states which is due to diverging regulations that reduce the cross-border coordination capacity in the event of spills.
This goal shall be achieved by a three-level analysis (1) regulatory and legal analysis that encompass general and specific
regulations (2) national and regional contingency plans to identify points in common, bottlenecks and shortcomings in
applicable rules and regulations (3) analysis of the existing sources of risk in the project area and the presence of sensitive
zones, according to a common methodology and a shared set of indicators and the application of 1 new oceanographic
model.
These activities lead to harmonize contingency plans at national, regional and EU levels and highlight a uniform picture of the
Adriatic most vulnerable areas, both in the open sea and nearby the coasts (by upgrading and harmonizing maps of risk sources
and vulnerable factors). The core results is the delivery of common guidelines for development and implementation of
contingency plans in those regions (countries) where such plans have neither been drafted nor adopted.

WP4 – Improving the level of equipment and CB response preparedness in
case of accidental marine pollution
• Leader: Apulia Region
• Duration: 1.10.2012 – 31.01.2015 (28 months)
This WP intends to establish the level of equipment of counties and regions on the Adriatic to contain spills (vessels, skimmers,
booms, aircraft and oiled water storage capacities) and organize two cross-border exercises (targets: open sea intervention and
beach decontaminations) on the Adriatic to verify operational preparedness, and improve cooperation and harmonize the work of
operational staff, especially response teams involved in implementing national and regional contingency plans.
These activities envisage the collection and processing of data concerning the type, quantity and spatial distribution of
equipment, resulting, in the one hand, with the setting up of a joint database with information regarding equipment necessary for
the protection of the sea; on the other hand, the aim is to produce scenarios to carry out international exercises which will be used
in the joint cross-border exercises. The exercises shall be followed by evaluation meetings to draw conclusions aiming at
eliminating weaknesses and reducing response time at sea.
Coastal guards, civil protection headquarters, volunteers, safety structures, military forces, airports etc.. will be involved
in the participation at the exercises. Final step of this WP (and of all the project as well) is the trimming and evaluation of the
overall model of cross-border monitoring and interventions

Elaboration of scenarios for response exercises
May 2013 – September 2013
This activity intends to produce two scenarios for international exercises in Southern Adriatic & Northern
Adriatic containing site description and incident facts, and proposing safety and security measures, cleanup methods at sea and on land, communication methods, tasks for the respective participants and the
necessary containment and clean-up equipment.
Exercises consider meteo and climatic conditions that may affect the oil dynamic (direction, speed, impact)
nearby the coasts in case of spill. At this regard, the scenarios are enhanced by the data of one coastal
radars in the highly trafficked commercial pole of the Dalmatian archipelagos of Split with coverage of 5000
Km2 each is foreseen

• Leader: Primorsko Goranska County
• Duration: 1.10.2012 – 31.01.2015 (28 months)
This Work package aims at establishing a Training and Research Centre, which is conceived as an organization working to
improve preparedness and response of bodies and stakeholders involved in national and regional response mechanisms of all
Adriatic states. At present, there is no training and research centre on the Adriatic dealing exclusively with the protection of the
sea from accidental pollution by oil and other noxious and hazardous substances.
The centre focuses on studying response strategies to accidental marine pollution, counselling and training personnel
involved in national and regional response mechanisms, researching sea and shore cleanup methods, testing and
developing equipment, collecting and processing data, and writing and publishing scientific papers.
The centre is managed by a joint body made up of partners’ representatives, scientific institutions and private organizations
whose work contributes to achieving the centre’s goals. The organization’s headquarters with the pertaining equipment, library
and personnel is in Rijeka.
