Two case study presentations on the response to real emergencies (Costa Concordia, Agia Zoni II) related to the learnings of the DBX EU MODEX.
The afternoon of the DBX EU MODEX Conference was dedicated to the presentation of new developments and their impact on marine incident response, including presentations of EMSA, LAMOR and the EU projects IMAROS and EUROWA.
