he Arctic Oil Spill Response Technology Joint Industry Programme (JIP) was launched in 2012 to undertake specifically targeted research and technology projects identified to build on an already extensive research and experience background, to further improve Arctic spill response capabilities.

This reports summarises the key findings and achievements of this five-year programme and supports the more extensive Synthesis Report, which provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the JIP’s results as part of a continuum of historical research stretching back over four decades, and explains the strategic significance of the JIP’s findings in improving Arctic response capabilities.
