Also, best practices were shared and discussed, and areas for further improvement in response strategies were also highlighted. The success of the exercise demonstrated the high level of preparedness and dedication of all participants.

The success of this drill reinforces the collective commitment of all participating organizations to enhance disaster readiness and protect maritime operations. By fostering a culture of preparedness and adaptability, the agencies ensure that emergency response efforts remain efficient, minimizing risks to both human life and the environment.
