As a result of the Exxon Valdez and other recent oil spills, the decision-making process within the United States Coast Guard (USCG) directed, multi-agency response team has been identified as an important area for improvement. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) has outlined the need for improved spill response training. The USCG believes that improving marine spill training would do much to enhance the capability of the multi-agency response. The methodology involved identifying unanticipated, spill response decision-making tasks to be made1 by the local Port of New York multiagency spill response organization, in the event of a significant discharge of oil in the port. These decision-making tasks, along with other information collected from the Port of New York personnel, were then systematically analyzed in order to develop aI preliminary set of training objectives for the multi-agency, spill response command post team. These training objectives were then further analyzed to identify the most promising training media for achieving these objectives.
