This document is conceived as a supplementary source of information to the "Guide for Oil Pollution Combating in the Mediterranean" published by ROCC some time ago. Both documents are intended for use by various national Authorities in the Mediterranean coastal States (although nothing prevents them from being used elsewhere) and are complementing each other. The Guide gives basic information for decision taking (either at the stage of contingency planning or in cases of emergency) while the Catalogue provides information on equipment and chemical products specially designed for accidental oil pollution control and combating. Although spill response operations inevitably involve the use of various non-specific equipment (hand tools, earth moving equipment, agricultural equipment, vehicles, aircraft, surface vessels, etc.) and materials (straw, sand, sawdust, etc.), the job can be done best with the proper tools, i.e. specifically designed equipment and purposely formulated chemicals. Accordingly only these have been included in the Catalogue.
