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.

The 31 companies without contracts with oil spill clean-up specialists will have to anticipate increasing pressure from regional authorities, Regnum.ru reported.
