Exercise CELTIC DEEP was held over the 21st and 22nd October 2020 to test the national contingency plan for marine pollution from shipping and offshore installations (NCP). Government departments, local authorities, the shipping industry and their contractors were all tested in their response to a major shipping incident resulting in offshore and onshore pollution. As well as testing the response cells described within the NCP, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Aviation and Maritime at the Department for Transport also participated.
