Britain unveils places of refuge list.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Brian Reyes in Gibraltar
THE British Maritime and Coastguard Agency has made public the inventory of UK ports and anchorages used by its counter-pollution experts when determining suitable places of refuge during crisis situations.
The list, which was previously secret, was posted on the MCA's website on December 22, just days before the UK's new Freedom of Information Act came into force on January 1, 2005.
It provides 'a generic analysis of locations which could lend themselves to becoming a place of refuge for ships,' the website states.
But the MCA stresses that this is not a list of places of refuge.
'Anywhere around the UK's coasts could be a place of refuge and we would consider it unwise to pre-emptively rule anywhere in or out as a potential place of refuge,' it explains on the site.
