Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan

INTRODUCTION
1. This plan is written in accordance with the requirements of regulation 26 of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78). 2. The purpose of the plan is to provide guidance to the master and officers on board the ship with respect to the steps to be taken when a pollution incident has occurred or is likely to occur. 3. The plan contains all information and operational instructions required by the Guidelines*. The appendices contain names, telephone, telex numbers, etc., of all contacts referred to in the plan, as well as other reference material. 4. This plan has been approved by the Administration and, except as provided below, no alteration or revision shall be made to any part of it without the prior approval of the Administration. 5. Changes to Section 5 and the appendices will not be required to be approved by the Administration. The appendices should be maintained up to date by the owners, operators and managers. 6. This plan will be regularly reviewed and updated. Revisions, other than those referred to in 5 above will be submitted to the Administration for approval. Revision will be the responsibility of the owner and will be carried out at intervals not exceeding 12 months. 7. Following an incident in which the plan has been activated, there will be a thorough review of its effectiveness.
* Guidelines for the development of the shipboard oil pollution emergency plans", (IMO Resolution MEPC. 54 (32); adopted on 6 March 1992).

Section 1 PREAMBLE
1. This Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan is provided to assist personnel in dealing with an unexpected discharge of oil. Its primary purpose is to set in motion the necessary actions to stop or minimise the discharge and to mitigate its effects. Effective planning ensures that the necessary actions are taken in a structured, logical and timely manner. The plan makes use of flowcharts and checklists to guide the master through the various actions and decisions which will be required in an incident response. The charts and checklists provide a visible form of information, thus reducing the chance of oversight or error during the early stages of dealing with an emergency situation. For ready reference, tank plans, pipeline diagrams and capacity charts, with a general arrangement of the hull and upper deck are appended to the plan. For any plan to be effective it has to be: - Familiar to those with key functions on board the ship; - Reviewed and updated regularly; - And tested for viability in regular practices. 5. It is advisable for training and exercises in implementation of the shipboard mitigation procedures to be held at regular intervals.

SECTION 2 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL
1. Article 8 and Protocol I of MARPOL 73/78 require that the nearest coastal state should be notified of actual or probable discharges of oil to the sea. The intent of the requirement is to ensure that coastal states are informed without delay of any incident giving rise to pollution, or threat of pollution, of the marine environment, as well as the need for assistance and salvage measures, so that appropriate action may be taken. 2. The reporting procedure to be followed by the master or other person in charge of the ship after an oil pollution incident is based on guidelines developed by the International Maritime Organisation.* 3. If the ship is involved in a pollution incident reports must be made both to coastal state or port contacts, as appropriate, and to contacts representing interest in the ship. 4. A flow chart indicating the reporting procedure to be followed in accordance with the MARPOL requirements is given on page 13.
* "General principles for ship reporting system and ship reporting requirements, including Guidelines for reporting incidents involving dangerous goods, harmful substances and/or marine pollutants" adopted by the International Maritime Organization by resolution A. 648 (16).

SECTION 2.1 WHEN TO REPORT
2.1.1 Actual discharge

A report is required whenever there is: - A discharge of oil resulting from damage to the ship or its equipment; or - An intentional discharge for the purpose of securing the safety of a ship or saving life at sea; or - During the operation of the ship a discharge of oil in excess of the quantity or instantaneous rate permitted under applicable marine pollution regulations. For additional information see also Regulation 9 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78. Reports to coastal states should be in the style given in Section 3. 2.
2.1.2 Probable discharge.

Although an actual discharge may not have occurred, a report is required if there is the probability of a discharge. In judging whether there is such a probability, and thus whether a report must be made, the following factors should be taken into account: - The nature of damage sustained by the ship; - Failure or breakdowns of machinery or equipment, which may adversely affect the ability of the ship to manoeuvre, operate pumps, etc.; - The location of the ship and its proximity to land or other navigational hazards; - Present weather, tide, current and sea state; - Expected weather conditions; - Traffic density; - Morale, health and ability of the crew on board to deal with the situation. As a general guide the master should make a report in cases of: - Damage, failure or breakdown which affects the safety of the ship or other shipping examples of such situations are collision, grounding, fire, explosion, structural failure, flooding, cargo shifting; - Failure or breakdown of machinery or equipment which results In impairment of the safety of navigation: examples are breakdown of steering gear, propulsion, electrical generating system, essential ship borne navigational aids.
Follow Up Reports
Once the vessel has transmitted an initial report, further reports should be sent at regular intervals to keep those concerned informed of developments. Follow up reports to coastal states should always be in the style given in Section 3.2, and should include information about every significant change in the vessel's condition, the rate of the release and spread of oil, weather conditions, and details of agencies notified and clean-up activities.
It should be noted that much of the information to be included in the initial report could be entered on the report form prior to any incident and thus save time should an incident occur. It is required that an initial report form be part completed in this manner at the commencement of each voyage and be retained on the Bridge ready to be fully completed and transmitted in the event of an incident occurring. A copy of the current information on the status of the ballast and bunker tanks will be retained on the Bridge also, to facilitate the completion of the initial report.

SECTION 3 STEPS TO CONTROL DISCHARGE
WHENEVER AN OIL SPILL OCCURS IT IS THE DUTY OF THE PERSON FINDING THE SPILL TO IMMEDIATELY INFORM THE MASTER OR RESPONSIBLE OFFICER, WHO SHOULD CALL OUT THE VESSEL'S OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM (See Appendix 4). REMEMBER THAT AN OIL SPILL MAY CREATE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD, REQUIRING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED.
SECTION 3. 1
OPERATIONAL OIL SPILLS:

The most likely operational spill will result from: 3. 1. 1. Pipeline/transfer hose leakage 3. 1. 2. Bunker tank overflows 3. 1. 3. Hull leakages 3. 1. 1. Pipeline/transfer hose leakage During bunkering measures to be implemented immediately: Stop all bunkering operations, and close central filling valves Sound the emergency alarm, and initiate emergency response procedures Inform bunkering personnel/the master about the incident
Further measures: Consider whether to stop air intake into accommodation and cargo hold and nonessential air intake to engine-room Locate source of leakage, and begin clean-up procedures. If the discharge is from a deck source, all scuppers should be sealed. Plugs for this purpose are kept together with the cleanup equipment. If the spilled oil is contained on board and can be handled by the Oil Pollution Prevention Team then: Use sorbents and permissible solvents to clean up oil spills on board.
Ensure that any residues collected in the clean up operation are stored carefully prior to disposal.
SECTION 3. 2 INFORMATION REQUIRED
Content of reports
The format and content of an initial report are GIVEN BELOW. The format is consistent with the General Principles for Ship Reporting Systems and Ship Reporting Requirements, including Guidelines for Reporting Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods, Harmful Substances and/or Marine Pollutants, adopted as Resolution A. 648 (16) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and should be followed so far as possible. (Note: The reference letters in the listing below do not follow the complete alphabetical sequence as certain letters are allocated to information required for other reporting formats). The report should contain the following information: A. Name of ship, call sign and flag
B. Date and time (GMT) of incident: a 6-digit group giving day of month (first two digits), hours and minutes (last four digits). C. Ship's position, giving latitude: a 4-digit group in degrees and minutes suffixed with N (North) or S (South); and longitude:a 5-digit group in degrees and minutes suffixed with E (East) or W (West); or D. Ship's position by true bearing (first 3 digits) and distance (stated) from a clearly identified landmark. E. True course (as a 3-digit group). F. Speed (in knots and tenths of a knot as a 3-digit group). G. Route information - details of intended track. H. Full details of radio stations and frequencies being guarded. I. Time of next report (a 6-digit group as in B). J. Draught (a 4-digit group giving draught in metres and centimetres). K. Types and quantities of cargo and bunkers on board. L. Brief details of defects, damage, deficiencies or other M. Limitations. These must include the condition of the ship and the ability to transfer cargo, ballast or fuel. N. Brief details of actual pollution. This should include the type oil, an estimate of the quantity discharged, whether the discharge is of continuing, the cause of the discharge and, if possible, an estimate of the movement of the slick. O. Weather and sea condition, including wind force and direction and relevant tidal or current details. P. Name, address, telexes, facsimile and telephone numbers of the ship's owner or representative (manager or operator of the ship, or their agents). Q. Details of length, breadth, tonnage and type of ship. R. Total number of persons onboard. S. Miscellaneous - to include relevant details including, as appropriate: Brief details of incident. Names of other ships involved. Action taken with regard to the discharge and movement of the ship. Assistance or salvage resources which have been requested or provided.
- Personnel injuries sustained. - Whether medical assistance is required. If no outside assistance is required, this should be clearly stated. Reports should be transmitted by the quickest available means to the responsible authorities of the nearest coastal state or the Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) via the appropriate shore radio station. If the ship is within or near to an area for which a ship reporting system has been established, reports should be transmitted to the designated shore station of that system. The following additional information should be sent to the owner or operator either at the same time as the initial report or as soon as possible thereafter: Further details of damage to ship and equipment. Whether damage is still being sustained. Assessment of fire risk and precautions taken. Disposition of cargo on board and quantities involved. Number of casualties. Damage to other ships or property. Time (GMT) assistance was requested and time (GMT) assistance expected to arrive at the scene. Name of salver and type of salvage equipment. Whether further assistance is required. Priority requirements for spare parts and other materials. Details of outside parties advised or aware of the incident. Any other important information.
After transmission of the information in an initial report, as much as possible of the information essential for the safeguarding of life and the protection of the ship and the
marine environment should be reported in owner or operator, in order to keep them This information should include items P, reports follow, together with an example transmission.
a supplementary report to the coastal state and the informed of the situation as the incident develops. Q, R, S , as appropriate. Examples of initial of a format, which may be found suitable or direct
SECTION 3. 3: WHOM TO CONTACT COASTAL STATE
CONTACTS
In order to expedite response and minimise damage from a pollution incident, it is essential that appropriate coastal states are notified without delay. This process is begun with the initial report. Guidelines for compiling reports are provided in Section 3. 2. This plan includes as Appendix 1 a list of agencies or officials of administrations responsible for receiving and processing reports. In the absence of a listed focal point, or where the responsible authority cannot be contacted by direct means without delay, the master should contact the nearest coast radio station, designated ship movement reporting station or Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) by the quickest available means.
PORT CONTACTS
If an oil spill occurs when the vessel is in port, whatever the cause, it is the master's duty immediately to activate the vessel's Oil Pollution Prevention Team and report the incident. Precise details of whom to notify locally should be obtained on arrival, but the following is a guide: Terminal/loading master Local fire department (in case of explosion and/or fire) Agent Port Authority The vessel's local P&I representative (P&I Club List of Correspondents is filed in.....). Owner/manager. Charterer. Clean-up contractor. (A pro-forma for listing port contacts is shown at Appendix 2)
SHIP INTEREST CONTACTS

A list of ship interest contacts is detailed in Appendix 3 which also indicates the order of priority for notifying those concerned. Out-of-doors contacts are included. Precise details of whom to notify will vary from company to company, but the following is a guide: Head Office Charterer Classification Society P&I Club
All further reports and copies of messages sent to coastal states and/or port authorities should be sent to the company. If required, the company's office will be staffed as soon as possible after receipt of an initial report. Once initial reports have been made, the company's corporate plan will ensure that other interests such as flag State authorities, P & I Club and classification society are notified and kept up to date on the incident. The use of a simple checklist is recommended. An example checklist is included on page "Casualty oil spill response check list".
AFTER DEALING WITH THE CAUSE OF THE SPILL IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES OR THE TERMINAL (OR BOTH) TO CONTINUE NORMAL OPERATIONS.

3. 4 Tank Overflow During Loading Or Bunkering

Measures to be implemented immediately: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Stop all cargo and bunkering operations, and close central filling valves Sound the emergency alarm, and initiate emergency response procedures Inform bunkering personnel/the master about the incident Further measures: Consider whether to stop air intake into accommodation and cargo hold and nonessential air intake to engine-room Reduce the tank level by transferring bunkers into an empty or slack tank Begin cleans up procedures If the spilled oil is contained on board and Prevention Team then: can be handled by the Oil Pollution
Use sorbents and permissible solvents to clean up oil spills on board. Ensure that any residues collected in the clean up operation are stored carefully prior to disposal.
The use of a simple checklist is recommended. An example checklist is included on page "Casualty oil spill response check list".
AFTER DEALING WITH THE CAUSE OF THE SPILL, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES OR THE TERMINAL (OR BOTH) TO CONTINUE NORMAL OPERATIONS.
3. 5 Hull Leakage
If oil is noticed on the water near the vessel during cargo or bunkering operations and cannot be accounted for, the possibility of hull leakage should be suspected. Measures to be implemented immediately: ! ! ! Stop all cargo and bunkering operations, and close central filling valves if applicable Sound the emergency alarm, and initiate emergency response procedures Inform cargo loading and bunkering personnel/the master about the incident.
Further measures: " " Use the Oil Pollution Prevention Team in an attempt to locate the source of leakage Consider whether to stop air intake into accommodation and non-essential air intake to engine-room
When the source of leakage is identified: # # Consider possibility of pumping water into the leaking tank to create a water cushion to prevent further oil loss If the leakage is located below the water line, call in divers for further investigation.
If it is not possible specifically to identify the tank: ! The level of oil in the tanks in the vicinity of the suspected area should be reduced. Remember to consider the effect on hull stress and stability of the vessel.
The use of a simple checklist is recommended. An example checklist is included on the Next page.
AFTER DEALING WITH THE CAUSE OF THE SPILL IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES OR THE TERMINAL (OR BOTH) TO CONTINUE NORMAL OPERATIONS.
Operational oil spill response check list

This checklist is intended for response guidance when dealing with an oil spill during cargo or bunkering operations. Responsibility for action to deal with other emergencies which result from the oil spill will be as laid down in existing plans, such as the Emergency Muster List.

3. 6 SPILLS RESULTING FROM CASUALTIES

In the event of a casualty the master's first priority is to ensure the safety of the vessel's personnel and to initiate action to prevent the incident from getting worse. If the casualty involves grounding, breaching of the outer hull, or other structural damage for which calculations of stability and damaged longitudinal strength are beyond the ship's resources, assistance must be sought from shore. The following casualty situations are dealt with: 3.6.1 Grounding 3.6.2 Fire/Explosion 3.6.3 Collision 3.6.4 Hull Failure 3.6.5 Excessive List
3. 6. 1 Grounding
If the ship runs aground: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Sound the emergency alarm and initiate emergency response procedures. Carry out a visual inspection of the vessel to determine the severity of the situation with special attention for possible hull leakage. Take soundings around the vessel to determine the nature and gradient of the seabed. Check difference in the tidal ranges at the grounding site. Evaluate tidal current in the grounding area. Take soundings of ballast and bunker tanks and check all other compartments adjacent to the hull. Compare presents soundings against departure soundings. Evaluate the probability of additional release of oil. (Further information on the action to be taken when a ship is aground is contained in the ICS/OCIMF publication "Peril at Sea and Salvage A Guide for Masters".) Having assessed the damage that the vessel has sustained, and taking into account the effects of hull stress and stability, the master should decide whether or not any action can be taken to avoid further spillage, such as: Transfer of bunkers internally from damaged to intact tanks. Evaluate the possibility of transferring cargo to barges or other ships, and request such assistance accordingly. Trimming or lightening the vessel sufficiently to avoid further damage, thereby avoiding additional pollution from oil spillage.
If the risk of additional damage to the vessel by attempting to refloat it by its own means is assessed to be greater than by remaining aground until assistance has been obtained, the master should try to prevent the vessel from moving from its present position by Using anchors Taking in ballast
Use of a simple checklist is recommended -see page "Casualty oil spill response check list". Due regard should be paid to the indiscriminate opening of sounding pipes and covers to spaces as loss of buoyancy could result.
3. 6. 2 Fire/Explosion
If an explosion or a fire occurs on board: ! ! ! ! ! ! Sound the emergency alarm, deploy the vessel's fire emergency team (s) and follow the emergency procedures; Determine the extent of the damage, and decide what damage control measures can be taken; Determine whether there are casualties; Request assistance as deemed necessary; Assess the possibility of pollution from oil leakage; If there is a spill of oil in connection with the fire or explosion, inform appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan;
Use of a simple checklist is recommended -see page "Casualty oil spill response check list".
3. 6. 3 Collision
If a collision occurs: ! ! Sound the emergency alarm and initiate emergency procedures. Determine whether there are casualties.
The master should assess the situation for pollution purposes as follows, taking action where appropriate: " " " Decide whether separation of the vessels may cause/increase the spillage of oil If any oil tanks are penetrated, reduce the risk of further spillage by isolating penetrated tanks or transferring oil to slack or empty tanks. If there is a spill of oil in connection with the collision, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan.
3. 6. 4 Hull Failure
If the vessel suffers severe structural hull failure: ! ! ! ! Sound the emergency alarm and muster the crew Reduce speed or stop to minimise stress on the hull Assess the immediate danger of sinking or capsize Initiate damage control measures
The master should then assess the situation for pollution purposes as follows: If oil has spilled, or it is necessary to jettison oil in order to maintain stability, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan If the change in stability and stress cannot be calculated on board, contact the technical manager and arrange for the necessary calculations to be carried out Consider the forecast weather conditions and the effect they may have on the situation.
3. 6. 5 Excessive List
If excessive list occurs rapidly and unexpectedly it may be due to: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Failure of the hull plating; Shift of cargo; Flooding of the engine room or cargo hold, where free surface can cause a list; Damage through grounding or collision Steps to be taken immediately; Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballast operations in progress; Sound the emergency alarm and muster the crew; If under way, reduce speed or stop; Establish reason for list. Further measures; Sound all tanks and compare soundings with departure soundings; If oil has spilled inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this Plan; If possible, take corrective action to rectify the situation.
Take soundings of all cargo, ballast and bunker tanks (as applicable) and check all other compartments adjacent to the hull: ullage plugs should not be opened indiscriminately as loss of buoyancy could result.
3. 6. 6 Stress and stability

a) Great care must be taken when taking actions to mitigate the spillage of oil or free the ship if aground. b) Internal transfers should only be undertaken when the overall impact on stress and stability has been calculated. c) When damage is extensive, the impact of internal transfer on stress and stability may be impossible for the Master to assess. Contact should be made with the Technical Manager
for the necessary calculations to be carried out. d) Information required by the Technical Manager will include; 1) Intact Ship's condition 2) Damage- location and extent 3) Condition of ship - draft; cargo; fuel; loss or change in amount and disposition; - tide; wind; sea state; weather forecast
4) Local Conditions
Should it be necessary to abandon ship, so far as possible all valves should be shut, and tanks hermetically sealed. The ship's fore or aft emergency tow ropes should be secures with one end near the water line.
Casualty oil spill response check list

This checklist is intended for response guidance when dealing with an oil spill following a casualty. Responsibility for action to deal with the casualty itself be as laid down in existing plans, such as the Emergency Muster List.
Action to be considered Immediate action Sound emergency alarm Initiate vessel emergency response procedures Initial response Consider stopping air-intake to accommodation/cargo hold Stop non-essential air-intake to engine room Assess further danger to ship or personnel by such as capsize or immediate sinking Cease all cargo and other non-essential operations Assess whether oil has actually been spilt or if there is a probability that it will be spilt Stop or reduce flow of oil Comply with reporting procedures Sound all relevant bunkers/ballast tanks Sound around vessel if aground Request outside assistance if Necessary Counter excessive list Contain spilt oil Commence cleanup procedures using absorbents/solvents Further response Assess fire risk from release of flammable substances Consider evacuation of non-essential crew Assess likelihood of further damage to vessel or cargo Calculate stresses/stability. Request assistance or escort to port of refuge Manoeuvre upwind of spill/away from land Assess whether tide will worsen the situation Obtain weather forecast and assess effect Arrange portable pumps for transfer of oil to shore or lighter

SECTION 4. NATIONAL AND LOCAL CO-ORDINATION

When an oil pollution incident occurs the Master maintains responsibility for the safety of the crew and the vessel, however prompt notification to the appropriate authorities is important (see Appendix for list of coastal state contacts). The roles and response of local authorities varies but is facilitated by co-ordination between ship and shore at the time the incident occurs. In some locations, a government agency will take charge of the response while at others, the initiating response is placed on the ship owner. Clean-up contractors vary in response capability, fee structures and formalities for agreeing to activate equipment. The appointed agent for the vessel is a valuable resource in providing information to the Master on response resources and local requirements associated with clean-up activities, particularly to ensure compliance with regulations and notifications.
Coastal States Response to a Pollution Incident

A lot of coastal states have established marine pollution activities in order to protect environment. Therefore, the coastal state contact is absolutely essential in order to mobilise response resources for pollution containment, removal and other assistance. The principle liaison with the national and local authorities, until the representative of the owner or operator arrives, is the Master of the vessel. It is imperative that all factual information required by coastal authorities is transmitted promptly and accurately. The Master's priority, in case of an accident, is to ensure that the situation on his vessel is under control and that the source of pollution is correctly identified, that all necessary actions have been initiated to control or mitigate the actual or probable pollution incident and to minimise danger to the vessel if a casualty has occurred. The coastal state has to advise the Master which resources have been activated and identify what further information or assistance is needed from the vessel. Again, it is to be said - when the coastal state provides the pollution response - the master is responsible for the safety of his crew and vessel, to stop the source of pollution, initiate corrective action for any casualty, and to co-operate fully with the national and local authorities.
Vessel response to a Pollution Incident

In United States of America and a few coastal states, the vessel (its owner and operator) is responsible for not only notifying the national and local authorities, but is also responsible for the spill responses. This requirement obliges the master, or his agents, to make necessary arrangements to provide the contractors and equipment for the containment of spill, removal of the oil from the water cleaning up damaged shoreline or resources. Oil spilt on the deck must not be washed or allowed to run over board.
Oil dispersants and other chemicals should not be used in the clean operation without the permission of the National Authority. In addition to the safety of the vessel, it is the Master's responsibility, to be in charge of the spill response operations until relieved by a representative of the operating company. When possible, the owning/operating company will have arranged in advance for an "Emergency
Operations Coordinator" who will ensure the proper spill response is carried out, so that the Master and crew are free to handle the various problems on the vessel. The Emergency Operations Coordinator will ensure that: ! ! ! proper notification have been made and qualified contractors are engaged; effective liaison with national or local authorities is established; public affairs matters are handled in the best interest of the vessel/coordination with the P&I Club, operators and owners is maintained/all support necessary for the crew and vessel is arranged.
APPENDIX 1 LIST OF COASTAL STATE CONTACTS

The following list contains contact details for Coastal States, known at the time of publication. It has been brought up to date since the original publication of the Model Plan in June 1993, taking account of information contained in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Circular MEPC/267, and subsequent information made available through the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation. It is recognised that the list is not complete, and that additions will be made in the future. Furthermore, the regular review required must include a check that the information remains as accurate as possible, since addresses and telephone numbers may change. It is expected that IMO will issue up-to-date lists when appropriate.

APPENDIX 4 EXAMPLE - OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM

The master of the vessel should appoint an "oil pollution prevention team" on board, to initiate recovery or clean up procedure immediately if an incident occurs during cargo or bunker transfer. The following is the suggested composition of such a team:
Master
Chief Officer Duty Deck Officer
Chief Engineer Duty Engineer Officer
Deck and Engine ratings on duty
In the event of an oil spill, the team should be called out immediately. The team should be given the necessary training in the use of the equipment and absorbents that are carried aboard the ship. All members of the Oil Pollution Prevention Team should be aware of their duties should an oil spill occur. Proposed instructions to the Oil Pollution Prevention Team Master ! In overall charge; ! Inform terminal authorities of the incident; ! Inform local agent and request agent to inform the local P&I club representative; ! Advise the company's head office of the situation. Keep everyone updated at regular intervals and advise any changes in the status of the emergency; ! Request assistance as deemed necessary. Chief Officer - In charge of deck operations. - Keep master informed and updated on the situation and the results of steps taken to limit outflow. - In charge of bunker operations. - Organise distribution of oil spill detergent. Deck Officer - Tank Spillage: on duty # Stop bunker operation. # Alert and inform Chief Officer and Master of the situation. # Advise shore staff. - Pipeline/Hose Spillage # # # # # Engineer Office Stop bunker operation immediately. Alert shore staff. Close central filling valves and inform Chief Officer. Mobilise deck hands to contain the spillage. Fire fighting equipment stand-by.
Chief Engineer
- Prepare for fire fighting:on duty - Assist Chief Engineer.
Ratings on duty
- If oil leakage is detected alert the duty Officer immediately.
APPENDIX 5 BUNKERING ROCEDURE

Following is an example list of measures to be taken before, during and after bunkering. Before bunkering commences A watch is to be appointed on deck during the bunkering operation; "NO SMOKING" notices are to be posted at access to the vessel, exits from the accommodation and at the bunker station; All relevant deck scuppers are to be sealed off with plugs; Sand and/or sawdust and suitable chemicals/solvents are to be available in case of an emergency; Portable foam fire extinguishers are to be placed at the bunker station; Deck lighting in the vicinity of the bunkering hose and bunker station is to be adequate; Bunkering valves are to be checked visually for operation; All fuel tanks are to be sounded to establish the amount of fuel on board; Communication between shore and bunkering personnel as well as the ship's internal communications is to be checked for operation; Establish type of fuel, pumping rate and delivery temperature; The appropriate red flag (or red light at masthead at night) has to be displayed;
During bunkering On start of bunkering and regularly thereafter, all bunker connections and hoses are to be checked for leaks. Soundings are to be taken regularly to check the progress of the bunkering operation. The deck is to be manned at all times during bunkering operations. Bunkering hose and fittings are to be inspected regularly for leaks, kings etc. The fuel-pumping rate is to be determined as soon as possible to check whether the capacity of the ship's lines and/or relief valves is not exceeded. If there is any reason for doubt, slow down or stop bunkering immediately.
After bunkering " " No valves are to be closed until the bunker lines have been purged with air. The chief engineer may close the central filling valves after checking the competition of the bunkering operation with the barge/installation and informing them that he is doing so. The chief engineer is to make sure that the barge/installation valves have been closed, before permitting disconnection of the hose. The hose connection is to be gently broken without removing bolts in case of any pressure remaining. After disconnection the hose is to be blanked off before removal to the barge / installation. Blanks are to be fitted to the vessel's bunker station immediately after disconnection. Scuppers remain plugged until after the vessel has sailed.
" " " " " "
APPENDIX 6 PREDICTION OF SLICK MOVEMENT

An additional piece of information of considerable importance in case of an oil spill, is the expected movement of the resulting slick under the influence of the local currents and winds. Provided the information on local current/wind speed and direction is available, ship's personnel is in a very good position to make an estimation of the likely movement of the slick.
It has been found that flowing oil will move downwind at about 3% of the wind speed. The prevailing current speed and direction will further influence it. The resulting vector indicates the resulting movement and speed when combining the wind and current forces.
