As regards the Port Protection Plan exercise on 23 September, it should be noted that the Secretariat of State for Safety to notify changes in level and the State Security Forces took part.

The goals were as follows:

Train the port's protection organisation in the Protection Change of Level procedures.
Check the communication protocol with the CEPIC (Permanent Information and Coordination Centre of the Secretariat of State of Security).
Response of the CPCS (Port Services Control Centre).
Communications with the CCP (Protection Advisory Committee).

As regards the self-protection exercises conducted, and due to the health emergency restrictions, we were restricted to only the first type of planned exercises consisting of rescue crew during a fire emergency. The goals set for those exercises are summarised below:

Familiarise the GI with onboard emergencies. (Intervention Group).
Familiarise the GO with its action procedures. (Order Group).
Training in communication procedures between the agents of the Self-protection Plan.
Test what has been learnt in previous drills.

Real resources were deployed during the marine pollution control exercise on 18 November, with the following goals:

General goals

Set up the response structures and check the establish operational procedures, along with using the available human and material resources to respond to the pollution case used.
Strengthen cooperation and assess the degree of coordination between the different Administrations, Authorities, Institutions and companies involved in a marine pollution incident and in the response, as envisaged in the National Response to Marine Pollution System.
Familiarisation and training of the response groups in the handling of pollution control equipment and resources and of pollution control techniques.
Facilitate the review of the National Maritime Plan (PMN) by proposing possible amendments based on the conclusions from the exercise.
Assess the performance of the Spanish Administration in the management, coordination and response to a pollution incident in different emergency situations, both when hydrocarbons and toxic liquids are involved.

Specific coordination goals

Establish the emergency phases and situations and the use of response to marine pollution incidents, taking the possible risks and vulnerable areas into account.
Assess any possible damage that the pollution incident may have on people, property and the marine environment.
Improve coordination between the different activated plans.
Strengthen and promote cooperation between the Harbourmaster, SASEMAR, the Port Authority and companies involved in pollution control and response.
Improve the response coordination mechanisms in the case of a pollution incident between the maritime entities and companies (private sector) and the port maritime authorities.
Improve the skills of the workers involved in the response, clarify their roles and responsibilities in the case of marine pollution.

Specific operational goals

Determine the correct monitoring of the established operational procedures, along with the response times and action using the different resources, and their possible optimisation.
Strengthen cooperation and coordination between the support and the resource deployment vessels, along with the CCS, the zone coordinator, the directors of the activated IMPs and the different operational activities.
Check that the safety standards are maintained throughout the exercise.
Check the state of the fire-fighting equipment to be used in the exercise and the potential combination of equipment of different agencies or authorities, along with their coordination.
Increase the use of proactive collection equipment.

This was a marine pollution control exercise at provincial level, part of the training and regular drill programme of the National Maritime plan, defined in Article 30 of the FOM/1793/2014. Order.
