Summary/Abstract: Analysis of the possibilities of Poland’s participation in the utilization of hazardous chemicals based on the experience of the Danish RECLIB operation. The article reviews the implementation of the maritime policy by the Kingdom of Denmark as the examples of an operation, carried out in 2016, under the code name RECLIB, whose the main aim was to remove harmful chemical substances from Libya. The process of setting up maritime operation under the leadership of Denmark was described, while conducting an active international policy, including in the forum of the UN Security Council. The cooperation of Denmark with other countries was also presented, for which counteracting the weapon of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation, especially under the auspices of the United Nations, is a high priority in foreign policy. Finally, Polish extensive experience in the area of chemical weapon utilization was mentioned and an attempt was made to define the national ability to carry out a maritime operation of removing WMD from another country. For this purpose, the authors studied the CBRN capabilities and abilities of the Polish Navy to transport of dangerous substances as part of a potential naval operation.
