The MCA and the French equivalent will be holding a major exercise in the English Channel this coming Tuesday 3 NOV 2009:
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is responsible for a major international maritime exercise taking place in the Channel on Tuesday November 3rd 2009. The multi-agency exercise Manchex 2009 will involve Coastguard and the emergency services from Britain and France.
Manchex is a bi-annual test of the contingency plan developed to deal with major marine emergencies involving the UK Coastguard, French Coastguard and the other emergency services. Manchex 2009 will simulate a fire and an evacuation from a cross channel passenger ferry in the approaches to the Southwest Lane of the Dover Strait.
