Dissatisfactory oil spill preparedness in Arkhangelsk
According to the Deputy Governor in Arkhangelsk Oblast Igor Norko, a total of 36 regional companies run businesses which include a risk for oil spills.
Only 5 of these companies have concluded cooperation agreements with enterprises which know how to deal with oil spill localisation and clean up.
