Invitation to participate in EMSA EAS depot equipment exercise in Porvoo FI on week 39 2025
Finnish Border Guard has enquired the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA)
on possibility to arrange an oil response equipment exercise in Porvoo on 25.-26.
September 2025.
EMSA has replied positively and has allocated finances for the training. In order
to enhance the joint response operations between the Finnish Border Guard and
Estonian Navy we would like to invite the Estonian Navy to participate in the
exercise with a vessel or vessels as well as by observers.
The planning meeting with EMSA was arranged on 12. August 2025 and following
equipment was selected for the exercise:
100m3 barge
LAMOR working boats demo
Possibly Current Buster 6 if the technical challenges with the equipment
are solved by the time of the exercise
LAMOR LUT380 high capacity skimmer.
The LUT380 requires 3*10 feet free deck space so we envisage that only OPV
Turva will operate the LUT380. Estonian Navy representatives are welcome to
observe the use of LUT380 onboard Turva. This part of the exercise is planned to
be on the second exercise day i.e. on Friday 26. September 2025.
If Estonian Navy is in position to dispatch vessel or observers please inform the
arrival schedule to the Finnish Border Guard HQ / maritime safety and security
unit (
