Goals and Objectives of the Emergency Response CRTC The Emergency Response CRTC is based in the Ports and Shipping Organization, within the Ministry of Roads and Transportation of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The theme will co-ordinate identification and development of mechanism for the original and international response to accidents involving the extraction, maritime transport and storage of oil and hazardous chemicals. The theme will work closely with International Maritime Organization (IMO) and will develop and maintain a common register of all accidents of this kind in the Caspian, will organize and implement training activities in close cooperation with IMO, other international organizations, and private sectors(NGOs). The theme may consider other types of emergency response, beyond the oil and hazardous chemical spills, at the later stage. The ER Theme will provide necessary input to the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis, National Caspian Action Plans (NAPs), and the Strategic Action Programme (SAP). As a first step, the ER Theme is coordinating the preparation of National Reports on the status of Emergency Response in all Caspian Sea States. A regional Report is to be produce by the theme based on following information: 1-Regions that could be most heavily affected by a spill. 2-Type of sensitivity involved for each region, including name of major nature preserve or sensitive area. Description and location of major beaches, parks, archeological sites and other recreational areas. 3-Types of economic installations that could be affected by oil spills, such as power plants, desalination facilities or other industrial facilities utilizing seawater. 4-Location of oil reserves, structures and oil and gas activities. 5-Prevailing water depth, current, winds and other factors, which could be used to predict the areas affected by oil, spill.
