Moreover he/she will be familiar with the ecosystem and the harmful effects of pollutants, ISM international regulations on oil pollution and will be able to implement action plans drawn up at national and international level to fight pollution, by coordinating depollution operators. This professional figure can be employed by the companies operating in this field. On board, as a member of the Commission envisaged by the ISM Code, he/she selects a team and the means for swift interventions so as to prevent the spreading of the pollutant.
