MIDSIS TROCS Version 2.0 and the associated document can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
The Mediterranean Integrated Decision Support Information System (MIDSIS-TROCS) version 2.0, is an information support system based on TROCS 2001 database, developed by the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) in collaboration with Malta University Services (MUS). It has been produced within the framework of the Mediterranean Action Plan with a view to providing the Mediterranean coastal States with a decision-support tool. It is aimed at assisting REMPEC's Operational Focal Points in the decision making process when dealing with marine pollution emergencies caused by releases of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), as well as by certain crude and refined oils.
A *pdf document presents the contents of the database, the important notice, and technical and legal information. This document is to be read prior to use the software. The document is available in the MIDSIS TROCS package.
The database on alerts and accidents in Mediterranean Sea and the associated Geographical Information System, have been prepared by the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC), as a contribution to the implementation of the “Protocol concerning Cooperation in Prevention pollution from Ships and, in Cases of Emergency, Combating Pollution of the Mediterranean Sea”.
The database and the associated documents aim at providing competent authorities of the Contracting Parties to 1976 Emergency Protocol and of the 2002 Prevention and Emergency Protocol, as well as other interested parties with a set of data on accidents in the Mediterranean, which should be used in conjunction with other data such as those relating to maritime transportation of oil and chemical substances, to identify more precisely the risk of accidental pollution and subsequently to facilitate taking appropriate measures concerning preparedness and response at both national and regional levels.
An introduction document, a statistical analysis and the guidelines are available on pdf format. They have been developed to facilitate the use of the tools made available by REMPEC. Terms and abbreviations used in the database are also described in this document. Also, a package with .kml documents for the GIS is available in the complete folder "doc DB EN". Download these documents and the public REMPEC accident database down the article.
