The largest oil response exercise in the Baltic Sea region, HELCOM's Balex Delta, takes place this year on Wednesday 29 August 2012 in Helsinki, Finland. A designated boat will be ready for any registered media to observe from close distance the international exercise in the Gulf of Finland. The drill simulates a real life oil catastrophe in one of the most vulnerable - and busiest - sea areas in the world. This year, Balex Delta is hosted by Finland and is exceptionally large with 22 specially equipped oil response vessels. Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) is responsible for coordination and a national coastal response exercise will coincide with the open sea response operation. The international exercise will be preceded by national oil response exercise by Finnish authorities, on 28 August 2012. Further, the City of Helsinki and the University of Helsinki are hosting a set of visits for media on 28-30 August, to celebrate Helsinki as the World Design Capital 2012. More details can be found in the attached joint media programme.
