📋 Tender Overview
Representatives of various institutions of the Peruvian State among them the IMARPE, they could strengthen capabilities to lead response to these events
The Institute of the Sea of Peru - Imarpe participated in the training in oil spill control, which was carried out in the city of Yokohama, Japan, from May 25 to June 5, 2025, within the framework of the project of the International Cooperation Agency of Japan - Jica for the strengthening of institutional capacity in response to raw oil spills in Peru.
On behalf of Imarpe, the geographer Mario Polar Perez attended, who has been developing research activities in coastal marine ecosystems and their relationship with negative impacts due to hydrocarbon spills.
The objective of the activity, was to strengthen the institutional capacity of IMARPE in the response to crude oil spills, through practical training on methodologies, technologies and field operations. The training was carried out at the Marine Catastrophes Prevention Center in Japan and was facilitated by Japanese specialists, with the support of Jica.
Together with Imarpe, representatives of the Minam, Dicapi, Oefa, Sernanp, APN, and Digesa participated, who obtained tools for strengthening the management of hydrocarbon spills, and may effectively lead the operational capacity to these events.
In recent decades, the coasts of Peru have suffered oil spills with significant socio -environmental impacts, such as those that occurred in the window (2022) and Talara (2024). The occurrences of these events could not only affect the marine-coastal ecosystem, but also fishing, tourism and other related productive activities.
Imarpe has made nine biological-environmental monitoring in the marine-coastal area affected by the spill of crude oil in January 2022 in the window. The objective of these studies was to evaluate the biological-environmental behavior in the marine-coastal area affected by the oil of oil oil between the districts of Ventanilla and Chancay. The technical reports generated by these actions are published and available for public consultation at: https://gesTordp.imarpe.gob.pe
