After the oil spill disaster at the Spanish coast caused by the oil tanker Prestige, senior reporter Alexander Steinbach from the documentary Weltjournal from the Austrian public broadcaster ORF, wants to find out what the safety situation of oil tankers is in general and what the oil transport branch is doing about it.
Alexander Steinbach interviews a Dutch member of the European parliament and an employee from Greenpeace both specialised in coastal and marine laws. He also visits the Marine Safety centre where captains and helmsmen can get virtual reality training and he interviews a safety oil tanker trainer. Last but not least he gets a tourin the Rotterdam harbour from the Rotterdam Port Authorities and visits the Rotterdam oil terminal and boards a huge oil tanker to interview an official from the oil terminal about the actual safety regulations and measures.
For this production Featurez gave advice, did the research, set up and planning of the filming, booked a camera crew and accompanied the filming.
