Cedre Accidental water pollution: response preparedness and operations,
technical expertise, assistance for the authorities
Scope: Sea and inland waters. Oil and chemicals. In France and abroad.
Activities: 24-hour advisory service, contingency planning, training, information -
documentation, research, pollutant behaviour studies, ecotoxicity, equipment and
product testing
Tools: Man-made beach, seawater basin, laboratory, flume tank (‘polludrome’) for
simulation of weathering in the environment, experimentation greenhouse for testing
contamination of living organisms…

Oil spill : main uses for textiles
1 -- Contain oil /
protect sensitives
sites
2 – Collect oil
3 – Cleaning

Booming : oil containment or
protection of sensitive sites
Means : floating boom
(PVC, PU, neoprene,
hypalon, blend, etc.)
Limits (and possible needs) :
strength, efficiency in
current, marine behaviour ,
only surface protection

Means : net catching tar balls in the surf area.
Many materials used depending on oil type and exposure

Cedre inputs / textile
• Technical advise
• Feed back from end users through contacts and partners
(from our response Dpt., training, contingency planning,
tests, etc.)
Sorbent : efficiency measurment
Booms : max strenght and marine behaviour
Nets : measure of viscosity threshold before
extrusion
• Call for tenders : tests to validate specifications achievement
• Standard tests or tailored experimentations, eg.
• Specific study in 2014 about shore line tar balls catching with
nets and oil in water filtering with textile : to be continued

Principles of French organization
• Response is organized in two parts:
Sea and Shoreline / Land

Organisation at sea • Under the responsibility of the “Maritime Prefect”
in charge of all civilian and military actions
• 3 maritime Prefect : North Sea/Manche, Atlantic, Mediterranean sea
– Traffic control and surveillance (MRCC)
– Emergency assistance
– Pollution detection and surveillance
– Response at sea
– Contingency planning…
• Dedicated stockpiles for at sea response equipment : CEPPOL

Organization on land
Three levels:
1/ Minor spill : municipalities (Mayor)
2/ Major spill (several municipalities) :
department (Prefect)
3/ Exceptional spill (several departments):
regional civil defense area (7)
13 Dedicated stockpiles for on land response equipment :
CEREMA (Polmar unit)

Spill response equipment market • Strong specificity of this market :
high demand level during oil spills and low level between them.
• French government :
– During oil spill : priority orders to referenced suppliers (in the frame of
anticipated markets, including geotextiles and nets).
Renewal of this anticipated market for North of France ongoing : survey call for
tenders in BOAMP (www.boamp.fr) and JOUE (ted.europa.eu)
– During “peace time” : call for tenders according to specificiations and tests
results. Renewal of existing stockpiles (ex : 53 km of boom in land stockpiles
+ 20 km in sea stockpiles)
• Others customers :
– cooperative stockpiles (FOST, OSRL,CCA, ACS, CGA, etc.)
– Industrials : EDF, Total, etc.
– Fire brigades, municipalities
– French syndicate of oil spill response equipment and services : SYCOPOL
