As previously communicated by BEIS OPRED, due to a change in telephone systems at the Met Office, a new number has been assigned for the OPRED Out of Hours function. The new Met Office number is: 0330 135 0010. All Oil Pollution Emergency Plans (OPEPs) containing the Met Office number must be updated with the new number by 31 March 2020, which will be considered as a minor change to the OPEP.
