The Marine Department's training and workshops are organized as part of the National Oil and Chemical Pollution Management Plan to enhance knowledge among relevant government agencies and private organizations. This year's event follows the objective of preparing all parties for the 13th Thailand National Oil and Chemical Spill Response Exercise, scheduled to take place in 2024.

This includes situation assessment, appropriate management methods, with an emphasis on collaborative efforts among relevant agencies in emergency management. The goal is to foster knowledge and understanding as well as preparedness for swift, appropriate and efficient responses.
