Exercise Roslagen
On 17 & 18 May 2006, DaGoB public and private stakeholders gathered
for the first DaGoB Dangerous Goods (DG) exercise, Exercise Roslagen.
This exercise was lead by the Swedish Coast Guard (SCG) in concert
with the DaGoB Work Package 2 (WP2) leader, the Swedish Rescue
Services Agency, in keeping with the DaGoB objective to organize
joint field and desk exercises to share valuable information in
practice. In total, there were thirteen Finnish, seven Swedish, four
Estonians, one Lithuanian, one German, and four Latvians who
participated in the exercise, which began at Hotel Roslagen in
Norrtälje, Sweden.
The exercise was divided into two parts: (a) the observance of an
actual Dangerous Goods (DG) Inspection conducted by the Swedish
Coast Guard (SCG) at the Port of Kapellskär, 90 kilometres north of
Stockholm, and (b) a seminar on DG inspections and regulations with
frequent discussions between DaGoB public and private stakeholders,
and even a short class on risk management.
In conclusion, Exercise Roslagen proved to be an excellent
opportunity for public and private stakeholders in the Baltic Sea
Region to witness a DG transport inspection by the SCG, and to get
together and share their views on DG transport. The result is that
Exercise Roslagen has set a superb standard for future gatherings
within the DaGoB Project.
