VorsorgePlan Schadstoffunfallbekämpfung
(Informationsgewinnung und Datenaufbereitung für maritime Informationssysteme, 2011) Daginnus, Klaus
The German coastal areas of the Baltic and North Seas are part of the most highly-frequented shipping routes worldwide. The high density of shipping traffic requires effective prevention planning, especially to protect the environment from dangers implicit with high density shipping traffic. The pollution of seas and coasts are unavoidable. Therefore the Ministeries for Environment of the Coastal States, in cooperation with the Federal Ministery of Transport, Building, and Housing compiled a plan for the entire German North and Baltic Seas, that assists the onshore response measures implemented in case of a pollutant release. The main function of the VorsorgePlan Schadstoffunfallbekämpfung (VPS) - Contingency Plan for Marine Pollution Control – is derived from collection, storage, and dissemination of such information that are necessary or useful for the prevention of, as well as the response to, pollution incidents. The following types of data are available:  Alphanumerical data of the database  Geodata in the GIS  Texts, charts and graphics in the incident response manual  Photo and video data of the whole German coast More Information about the Contingency Planning for Pollution Control (VPS) you will find under: http://www.vps-web.de/
