SPORT- St. Petersburg Oil Recovery Training Center The objective of the project is to make construction and training plans for an oil recovery training centre and oily waste treatment centre to be built in St. Petersburg. The work is done by experts from the Finnish-Russian partner consortium. Following the project the Oil Recovery Training Centre will be built on the territory of St. Petersburg by the City of St. Petersburg. This will create a permanent improvement in oil spill response regionally. The centre will be a part of the training course for response personnel.
