INTRODUCTION
1. This Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (hereafter referred to as the Plan) is written in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 37 of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating there to. 2. The purpose of the Plan is to provide quidance to the Master and officers on board the ship with respect to the steps to be taken when an oil pollution incident has occured or is likely to occur. 3. The Plan contains all information and operational instructions as required by the Guidelines for the development of the Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan as developed by the Organization (IMO) and published under MEPC.85 (44) and MEPC.54(32), amended by MEPC.86(44). The APPENDICES contain names, telephone, telex numbers, etc., of all contacts referenced in the Plan, as well as other reference material 4. The plan has been approved by DET NORSKE VERITAS on behalf of the Flag State Administration and, except as provided below, no alteration or revision shall be made toany 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 Flag State Administration. The APPENDICES should be maintained up to date by the OWNERS, OPERATORS and MANAGERS.

SECTION 1: PREAMBLE
1.1 This Plan is available to assist the ships personnel in dealing with an unexpected discharge of oil. Its primary purpose is to set in motion the necessary actions to stop or minimize the discharge of oil and to mitigate its effects. 1.2 Effective planning ensures that the necessary actions are taken in a structured, logical, safe and timely manner.
1.3 The primary objectives of this Plan are to: prevent oil pollution, stop or minimize oil outflows when a damage to the ship or its equipment occurs, stop or minimize oil outflows when an operational spill occurs in excess of the quantity or instantaneous rate permitted under the present Convention. 1.4 Further, the purpose of the Plan is to provide the Master, officers and certain crew members with a practical guide to the prevention of oil spills and in carrying out the responsibilities associated with regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 reporting procedures to report an oil pollution incident, Coastal State contacts (focal points) to be contacted in the event of an oil pollution incident, response actions to reduce or control the discharge of oil following an incident, co-ordination with national and local Authorities in combating oil pollution. 1.5 In summary, the Plan will serve to promote a practiced response when the ships personnel is faced with an oil spill. 1.6 Although the Plan is designed as a ship-specific tool it also must be considered as an additional instrument and as a link to shore-based plans. With this the Plan allowed an efficient co-ordination between the ship and shore-based Authorities/organizations in mitigating the effects of an oil pollution incident. 1.7 The Plan includes a Summary flowchart (see page 10) to quide the MASTER through reporting and acting procedures required during an oil pollution incident response. 1.8 The Plan iswritten in English which is the working language understood by the Master and the officers. A change in the Master and the officers which brings about on attendant change on their working language or languages understood would require the issuance of the Plan in the new languages. 1.9 Without interfering with shipowners liability, some coastal States consider that it is their responsibility to define techniques and means to be taken against an oil pollution incident and approve such operations which might cause further pollution, i.e., lightening. States are in general entitled to do so under the International Convention relating to Intervention on the High Seas of Oil Pollution Casualties, 1969 (Intervention Convention).

2.1
GENERAL
The reporting requirements of this section complies with those of Regulation 26 Annex I of MARPOL 73/78. 2.1.1 When the ship is involved in an incident which results in the discharge of oil, the MASTER is obliged under the terms of MARPOL 73/78 to report details of the incident, without delay to the nearest Coastal State by means of the fastest telecommunication channels available.
2.1.2
The intent of these requirements are to ensure that Coastal States are informed, without delay, of any incident given rise to oil pollution, or threat of oil pollution, of the marine environment, as well as of assistance and salvage measures, so that appropriate action may be taken.
2.2
REPORTING PROCEDURES
For ease reference the reporting requirements in the context of this Plan are divided in the following information blocks:
2.2.1
When to report
Taking the summary flowchart as shown on page 10 as a basic quide into consideration reports are necessary in the following cases: 2.2.1.1 Actual Discharge
The MASTER is obliged to report to the nearest Coastal State whenever there is a discharge of oil resulting a discharge of oil above the permitted level for whatever reason including those for the purpose of securing the safety of the ship or saving life at sea. a discharge during the operation of the ship in excess of the quantity or instantaneous rate permitted under the present Convention.
2.2.1.2
Probable discharge
The MASTER is obliged to report even when no actual discharge of oil has occurred but there is a probability that one could. However, as it is not practicable to lay down precise definitions of all types of situations involving probable discharge of oil which would warrant an obligation to report the MASTER is obliged to judge by himself whether there is such a probability and whether a report should be made.
Page:
12
Therefore, it is recommended that, at least, the following events: - damage, failure or breakdown which affects the safety of the ship (e.g. collision, grounding, fire explosion, structural failure, flooding, cargo shifting etc. ); or - failure or breakdown of machinery or equipment which results in impairment of the safety of navigation (e.g. failure or breakdown of steering gear, propulsion, electrical generating system, essential shipborne navigation aids etc.) are carefully considered by the MASTER - taking into account the nature of the damage failure or breakdown of the ship, machinery or equipment as well as the ships location, proximity to land, weather, state of the sea and traffic density - as cases in which a probable discharge of oil is most likely. If in doubt, the MASTER should always make a report in aforementioned cases. In all cases the Authorities should be kept informed by the MASTER as how the situation progresses and be advised when all threat of pollution has passed.
2.2.2
Information Required As required in article 8 and Protocol I of the MARPOL 73/78 - Convention the MASTER or other persons having charge of the ship should report the particulars of an oil pollution incident. In this context the International Maritime Organization (IMO), on 27 November 1997, adopted Resolution A.851(20) General Principles for Ship Reporting Systems and Ship Reporting Requirements, including Guidelines for Reporting Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods, Harmful Substances and/or Marine Pollutants. The intent of The Resolution aforementioned is to enable Coastal States and other interested parties to be informed, without delay, of any incident giving rise to oil pollution, or threat of oil pollution, of the marine environment, as well as of assistance and salvage measures, so that appropriate action may be taken. Nothing in this chapter relieves the MASTER in using sound judgement to make sure that any incident or probable discharge of oil is reported as quick as possible in the prevailing situation. When transmitting initial reports to the authorities of the nearest Coastal State the MASTER or other persons dealing with such a transmission should take note of Resolution A.851(20). All reporting whether initial or follow - up, should follow IMOs reporting format as outlined at page 15.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS AND SHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING GUIDELINES FOR REPORTING INCIDENTS INVOLVING DANGEROUS GOODS, HARMFUL SUBSTANCES AND/OR MARINE POLLUTANTS
A.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Ship reporting system and reporting requirements are used to provide, gather or exchange information through ratio reports. The information is used to provide data for many purposes, including search and rescue, vessel traffic services, weather forecasting and prevention of marine pollution. Ship reporting system and reporting requirements should, as far as practicable, comply with the following principles: reports should contain only information essential to achieve the objectives of the system; reports should be simple and use the standard international ship reporting format and procedures; where language difficulties may exist, the languages used should include English, using where possible the Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary, or alternatively the International Code of Signals. The standard reporting format and procedures to be used are given in the appendix to this annex; the number of reports should be kept to a minimum; no charge should be made for communication of reports; safety or pollution-related reports should be made without delay; however, the time and place of making non-urgent reports should be sufficiently flexible to avoid interference with essential navigational duties; information obtained from the system should be made available to other systems when required for distress, safety and pollution purposes; basic information (ships particulars, on-board facilities and equipment, etc.) should be reported once, be retained in the system and be updated by the ship when changes occur in the basic information reported; the purpose of the system should be clearly defined; Governments establishing a ship reporting system should notify marines of full details of the requirements to be met and procedures to be followed. Details of types of ships and areas of applicability, of times and geographical positions for submitting reports, of shore establishments responsible for operation of the system and of the services provided should be clearly specified. Chartlets depicting boundaries of the system and providing other necessary information should be made available to mariners; the establishment and operation of a ship reporting system should take into account: international as well as national responsibilities and requirements; the cost to ship operators and responsible authorities;

navigational hazards; existing and proposed aids to safety; and the need for early and continuing consultation with interested parties, including a sufficient period to allow for trial, familiarization and assessment to ensure satisfactory operation and to allow necessary changes to be made to the system; Governments should ensure that shore establishments responsible for operation of system; Governments should consider the interrelationship between ship reporting system and other systems; ship reporting systems should preferably use a single operating ratio frequency; where additional frequencies are necessary, the number of frequencies should be restricted to the minimum required for the effective operation of the system; information provided by the system to ship should to be restricted to the necessary for the proper operation of the system and for safety; ship reporting system and requirements should provide for special reports from ships concerning defects or deficiencies with respect to their hull, machinery, equipment or manning, or concerning other limitations which could adversely affect navigation for special reports concerning incidents of actual or probable marine pollution; Governments should issue instructions to their shore establishments responsible for the operation of the ship reporting system to ensure that any reports involving pollution, actual or probable, are relayed without delay to the officer or agency nominated to receive and process such reports, and to ensure that such an officer or agency relays these reports without delay to the flag State of the ship involved and to any other State which may be affected; States which are affected or likely to be affected by pollution incidents and may require information relevant to the incident should take into account the circumstances in which the master is placed, and should endeavour to limit their requests for additional information; The appendix to this annex does not apply to danger messages referred to under regulation V/2 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. The present practice of transmitting such messages should remain unchanged. B. GUIDELINES FOR REPORTING INCIDENTS INVOLVING DANGEROUS GOODS The intent of these Guidelines and those contained in the appendix is to enable coastal States and other interested parties to be informed without delay when any incident occurs involving the loss, or likely loss, overboard of packaged dangerous goods into the sea. Reports should be transmitted to the nearest coastal State. When the ship is within or near an area for which a ship reporting system has been established, reports should be transmitted to the designated shore station of the system.

GUIDELINES FOR REPORTING INCIDENTS INVOLVING HARMFUL SUBSTANCES AND/OR MARINE POLLUTANTS The intentof these Guidelines and thosecontainedin the appendix is to enable coastal States and other interested parties to be informed without delay of any incident giving rise to pollution, or threat of pollution, of the marine environment, as wellas of assistance and salvage measures, so that appropriate action may be taken. In accordance with article V(1) of protocol of MARPOL73/78,a report shall be made to the nearest Costal State. Whenever a ship is engaged in or requested to engage in an operation to render assistance to or undertake salvage of a ship involved in an incident referred to in 1(a) or (b) of article II of Protocol 1 of MARPOL 73/78, as amended, the master of the former ship should report, without delay, the particular of the action undertaken or planned. The coastal States should also be kept informed of developments. The probability of a discharge resulting from damage to the ship or its equipment is a reason for making report.

After the transmission of the information referred to above in the initial report, as possible of the information essential for the protection of the marine environment as is appropriate to the incident should be reported. That information should include items P, Q, R, S and X. The master of any ship engaged in or requested to engage in an operation to render assistance or undertake salvage should report, as far as practicable, items A, B, C (or D), M, P, Q, R, S, T, U, X of the standard reporting format. The master should also keep the coastal State informed of developments. Probability of discharge 1 The probability of a discharge resulting from damage to the ship or its equipment is a reason for making a report. In judging whether there is such a probability and whether the report should be made, the following factors, among others, should be taken into account: .1 .2 the nature of the damage, failure or breakdown of the ship, machinery or equipment; and sea and wind state and also traffic density in the area at the time and place of the incident.
It is recognized that it would be impracticable to lay down precise definitions of all types of incidents involving probable discharge which would warrant an obligation to report. Nevertheless, as a general guideline the master of the ship should make reports in cases of: .3 damage, failure or breakdown which affects the safety of ships; examples of such incident are collision, grounding, fire, explosion, structural failure, flooding, cargo shifting; and failure or breakdown of machinery or equipment which results in impairment of the safety of navigation; examples of such incidents are failure or breakdown of steering gear, propulsion plant, electrical generating system, essential shipborne navigational aids.

The format of the INITIAL report as well as supplementary or follow-up reports should conform with the quidance contained in Res. A. 851 (20). A sample format for INITIAL report is shown on pages 28 to 29 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 cargo, ballast and bunker tanks will be retained on the Bridge also, to facilitate the completion of the initial report.

Whom to Contact
2.2.3.1 Coastal State Contacts In order to expedite response and minimize damage from an oil pollution incident, it is essential that appropriate Coastal States be notified without delay. In this context the use of the list of agencies or officials of Administrations responsible for receiving and processing reports (so called focal points) as developed and updated by the Organization (IMO) in accordance with article 8 of the Convention (MARPOL 73/78). Such a list is shown under APPENDIX APP 2. In the absence of such a list or listed focal point for a single Country/Coastal State, the MASTER should contact by the quickest available means - the nearest coastal radio station, or - the designated ship movement reporting station, or - the nearest Rescure Co-Ordination Centre (RCC).
2.2.3.2 Port Contacts For the ship in port, notification of local agencies, combating teams or clean- up companies will speed response. If an oil spill occur during the ships stay in a port or at an oil terminal, whether operational or as a result of an accident, the MASTER should inform the appropriate local agencies (e.g.National Response Center, Terminal/ Port Authorities etc.) without undue delay. If the ship is engaged in a regular service between ports/terminals the MASTER or any other person aboard delegated by the MASTER should provide a list with the relevant Port Contact addresses for each port served regularly of Authorities/persons and/ or terminals dealing with an oil spill. This list should be regularly updated. The PORT CONTACT list is shown in the APPENDIX APP 3. If a change in the ships range of trade or a change in the addresses of persons Authorities of the ports/terminals served regularly takes place the MASTER or any other person aboard delegated by the Master is required to issuance a new list. Where ships service make it not feasible to carry out such a list the MASTER should seek quidance concerning such local Port Contacts and local reporting procedures upon arriving in port. Addresses obtained in this way should be documented aboard in the form that the MASTER considers most effective and should be attached to the Plan.

2.2.3.3 Ship Interest Contacts For Ship Interest Contacts it is necessary to have information at the Masters disposal in case of an oil spill for informing the ships owner or operator, the local agent of the company, the appropriate P & I-Club and correspondents, clean-up contractors etc. This information should be provided in the form of a so called Ship Interest Contact list. The ship INTEREST CONTACT LIST is shown in the APPENDIX APP 4. To avoid a duplication of reports and to co-ordinate the Plan and Company Shoreside plan, responsible for informing the various Ship Interested Contact is vessels OPERATOR.

3.1
GENERAL
This section ensures that the provision of Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 regarding steps to control discharge are complied with, and includes information relating to operational spills and spills resulting from casualties. Ships personnel will almost always be in the best position to take quick action to mitigate or control the discharge of oil from the ship. This Plan provides the MASTER with clear guidance on how to accomplish this mitigation for a variety of situations. The Plan not only outlines action to be taken, but also identifies who onboard is responsible so that confusion during the emergency can be avoided. Discharges can be as categorized into two main headings and a number of subheadings, these are: 1. OPERATIONAL DISCHARGES PIPE LEAKAGE TANK OVERFLOW HULL LEAKAGE CASUALTY DISCHARGES GROUNDING FIRE/EXPLOSION COLLISION HULL FAILURE EXCESSIVE LIST CONTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILURE DANGEROUS REACTIONS OF CARGO/CONTAMINATION YELDING HAZARDOUS CONDITION OTHER DANGEROUS CARGO RELEASE LOSS OF TANK ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SUBMERGED/ FOUNDERED WRECKED / STRANDED HAZARDOUS VAPOURS RELEASE

PIPE LEAKAGE
Pipeline leakage will occur during: - loading/deballasting - discharging/ballasting - bunkering - transfer of cargo and/or bunker ashore - transfer of cargo and/or bunker into a barge or other ship THESE OPERATIONS SHOULD NOT BE STARTED UNTIL THE REQUIREMENTS OF CHECK LIST HAVE BEEN MET (see SHIP/SHORE SAFETY CHECK LIST, page 33)
Pipeline leakage can also occur from hydraulic pipeline of: - winches - windlasses - crane In case the oil spilled over side or spillage is inevitable the MASTER must inform Coastal Authorities. If at sea MASTER must consider: - taking vessel further off shore - the tides, wind and sea state
3.2.2.1 ACTIONS TAKEN TO STOP OIL SPILL - STOP ALL OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY - CLOSE VALVES If spills are from manifold hoses or cowline - stop cargo pumps with emergency stop - close manifold valves - affected section should be drained down to an available empty or slack tank If the source of leakage are pumproom sea valves relive any pressure from relevant section of the line by: - opening up the line to an empty tank, or - using a stripping pump to empty tank DO NOT RE-COMMENCE OPERATION UNTIL SOURCE OF SPILL IS IDENTIFIED AND REMOVED OR RECTIFIED

HULL LEAKAGE
If hull leakage occurs the MASTER must inform Coastal Authorities of an actual discharge and taken immediate action to stop spill and to minimize hazard from fire and explosion. If at sea MASTER must consider: - taking vessel further off shore - the tides, wind and sea state 3.2.4.1 ACTION TAKEN TO STOP OIL SPILL STOP ALL OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY
If it is not possible to identify the specific tank from which leakage is occurring the necessary actions are: - Sound all cargo/bunker tanks. Sounding to be compared with last sounding Water finding paste or other means used to locate the area of hull leakage. If necessary divers will have to be called in. - Reduce the levels of all tanks in the vicinity by internal transfer or discharge on shore. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. This action will need to be taken promptly if it is to have significant impact on the oil released from tanks that are already open the sea. Upon identification of the leaking tank(s) necessary actions are: - Reduce the level in the tank(s) if full Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Isolate damaged tank by hermetically closing the tank, if possible. If the leakage is from a side damage below the water line in order to lessen the inrush the sea water it may be necessary to raise the damage area. The transfer of ballast or cargo may have to be undertaken to bring damage area out of the water. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - If the leakage is from a damage in the bottom plating or lower shell plating to reduce the level in the tank, if full and than pumping a water bottom into the damaged tank. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. - Close inert gas valves serving those tanks which are damaged - Evaluate the necessity of transferring cargo/bunker internally from damaged to intact tank. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Evaluate the necessity of transferring cargo and/or bunker onshore, or to barges or othership and request such assistance accordingly. Any ship to ship transfer shall be carried in comply with SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER GUIDE. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - If the ship has a list due to loose of ballast, by cargo, bunker, or buoyancy rearrange the cargo/bunker or ballast by internal transfer operation to get ship level. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. DO NOT RE-COMMENCE OPERATION UNTIL SOURCE OF SPILL IS IDENTIFIED AND REMOVED OR RECTIFIED

3.2.4.2 PREVENTION OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION All possible sources of ignition should be eliminated. Action taken to prevent or flammable vapours entering accommodation and engine room spaces: shut down all none essential air intakes shut of ventilation close all external doors and ports in accommodation alter course upwind of the slick (if at sea)
3.2.4.3 CLEAN-UP PROCEDURE Once the oil is in the water there is very little what the ship personnel can do to respond practically and reliancy must be placed on shore Authorities and Organization. CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DISPERSE THE OIL UNLESS ACCEPTABLE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES
3.2.4.4 SHIPS STABILITY AND STRESS Any internal transfers, tank level reducing or ship to ship transfer should be taken with a full appreciation of the likely impact on the vessels stability and stress. When the damages is extensive, the impact of internal transfer on stability and stress may be impossible for the vessels personnel to assess.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE (ERS) is shore base service for prompt access to computerized damage stability and residual strength calculation. (see App 4 Ship interest contact) Contact have to be with OPERATORS HEAD OFFICE ERS will require following information to make damage stability and damage longitudinal stress assessment calculation: - Cargo and ballast disposition (for each tank, in tones; empty tanks to be described as such) - Fuel oil, amount and distribution - Location and extent of damage observed (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) - Location and extent of damage surmised (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) - Draft (fore, aft, mid port, mid stb.) - Loss or change in amounts of cargo/bunker and disposition - Detail any action already taken - Wind, strength and direction - Sea and swell, height and direction - Current, speed and direction - Weather forecast - Air and sea temperature - Other locally significant features Having received these informations the OPERATOR will contact ERS and after ERS assessment calculation advise Master what action can be safety taken to minimize the damage and prevent further pollution.

3.3
SPILLS RESULTING FROM CASUALTIES In responding to a casualty the MASTERS priority will be to ensure the safety of personnel and the ship and to take action to prevent escalation of theincident whilst minimizing pollution. As this Plan deals with oil pollution incident this section is limited to the casualties which consequences are ACTUAL or PROBABLE OIL DISCHARGE.
3.3.1
GROUNDING In the event of the vessel grounding the MASTERS first priority must be to the safety of personnel and the ship and to initiate action which may prevent escalation of the incident. When grounding occurs: - sound GENERAL ALARM immediately - the personnel muster at their designated MUSTER STATION As this Plan deals with oil pollution incident this section is limited to the grounding which consequences are ACTUAL or PROBABLE oil discharge. The MASTER must inform the Coastal Authorities of the occurrence of an actual or probable discharge due to grounding and take immediate action to stop or minimize spill and to minimize hazards from fire and explosion. The MASTER should consider: - danger to the crew if the ship should slide off grounding site - danger of ship being broken down by heavy seas or swells - health hazards to the crew and surrounding population due to release of hazardous substances in dangerous concentrations - that fire may start due to released flammable substances caused by uncontrolled ignition sources - is the ship constantly being strucke in the seaway? - is the ship exposed to torsion? - is there large difference in the tidal ranges at the grounding site? - are there strong tidal current in the grounding area? - may the ship drift further up on the shore due to high tides, wind and waves? The MASTER should also evaluate the question of refloating the vessel by own means. Before such an attempt is made, it must be determined: - Whether the ship is damaged in such a way that it may sink, break up or capsize after getting off; - Whether the ship after getting off may have maneuvering problems upon leaving the dangerous area by own means - Whether machinery, rudder or propeller are damaged due to grounding or may be damaged by trying to get off ground by own means, - Whether the ship may be trimmed or lightened sufficiently to avoid damage to other tanks in order to reduce additional pollution from bunker spillage - Weather evaluation: whether there is time/reason to await improvements in weather or tide
Page:
46
If the risk of further damage to the ship is greater in an attempt to refloat the ship by own means, than in remaining aground until professional assistance has been obtained the MASTER should try to prevent the ship from moving from its present position - by dropping anchors (adequate water depth and anchor ground provided) - by taking ballast into empty tanks, if possible. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress
3.3.1.1 PREVENTION OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION All possible sources of ignition should be eliminated. Action taken to prevent flammable vapours entering accommodation and engine room spaces: - shut all none essential air intakes - shut down ventilation - close all external doors and ports in accommodation - alter course upwind of the slick (if at sea)
3.3.1.2 ASSESS THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE Visual inspection all compartment Check for visible oil along hull or in wake of the ship. At night a stick with white cloth around it may be lowered into sea water along side the ship to check for oil leakages. Sound all cargo, bunker and ballast tanks and all other compartments which have contact with the sea. Sounding to be compared with last soundings to check for possible oil leakages. Prohibit indiscriminate openings of ullage plugs, sounding caps, ports etc. which could results in loss of buoyancy. Sound to be taken around the ship to establish the ship position on the grounding area.
3.3.1.3 PROCEDURES TO REDUCE OR STOP OUTFLOW OF OIL When significant damage is sustained in the way of cargo or fuel tank this tank will be released fairly rapidly until hydrostatic balance is achieved and the rate of release will be reduce and be governed by the rate at which oil is displaced by the water flowing in under the oil. Especially if the damage is severe the time available for preventive action will be limited. If it is not possible to identify the specific tank(s) from which leakage is occurring the necessary actions are: - Reduce the level of all tanks in the vicinity. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. This action will need to be taken promptly if it is to have significant impact on the oil or released from tanks that are already open the sea. Upon identification of the leaking tank(s) the necessary actions are: - Reduce the level in the tank(s) if full Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Isolate damaged tank by hermetically closing the tank, if possible.

If the leakage is from a damage in the bottom plating or lower shell plating to reduce the level in the tank, if full and than pumping a water bottom into the damaged tank. Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. close inert gas valves serving those tanks which are damaged. Transfer of cargo/bunker internally from damaged to intact tank provided shipboard piping system is in operational condition. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. Evaluate the necessity of transfering cargo and/or bunker to barges or other ship and request such assistance accordingly. Any ship to ship transfer shall be carried in comply with SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER GUIDE. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. If the ship has a list (after refloating action take place) due to lose of ballast, cargo, bunker or buoyancy rearrange the bunker or ballast by internal transfer operation to get ship level. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress
3.3.1.4 SHIPS STABILITY AND STRESS Any internal transfers, tank level reducing or ship to ship transfer should be taken with a full appreciation of the likely impact on the vessels stability and stress. When the damages is extensive, the impact of internal transfer on stability and stress may be impossible for the vessels personnel to assess.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE (ERS) is shore base service for prompt access to computerized damage stability and residual strength calculation. (see App 4 Ship interest contact) Contact have to be with OPERATORS HEAD OFFICE ERS will require following information to make damage stability and damage longitudinal stress assessment calculation: Cargo and ballast disposition (for each tank, in tones; empty tanks to be described as such) Fuel oil, amount and distribution Draft when a float (prior to grounding) Location and extent of damage observed (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) Location and extent of damage surmised (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) Extent to which aground (if applicable) Draft (fore, aft, mid port, mid stb.) Loss or change in amounts of cargo/bunker and disposition Detail any action already taken Tide, range of tide, falling or rising Wind, strength and direction Sea and swell, height and direction Current, speed and direction Weather forecast Air and sea temperature Nature of the bottom Other locally significant features
Having received these informations the OPERATOR will contact ERS and after ERS assessment calculation advise Master what action can be safety taken to minimize the damage and prevent further pollution.

3.3.1.5 JETTISON OF CARGO WITHOUT CHANGING STRESS SITUATION The jettison of cargo is an extreme measure justified only as a means of saving life at sea or for the safety of the vessel. A decision to jettison cargo should therefore not be taken until all the alternative options have been considered in the light of available information upon stability and reserve buoyancy. In that case following precautions should be taken: - alert engine room personnel - consider changing E.R. intakes from high to low level - prevention of fire and explosion - all non essential inlets should be closed - rig flexible hoses (for discharge from manifold) to extend below the water surface - broadcast a radio warning
3.3.1.6 CO-ORDINATE WITH COASTAL AUTHORITIES Quick, efficient co-ordination between the ship and the Coastal Authorities is vital in mitigating the effect of pollution. Authorization prior to undertaking mitigating action must always be received from the Coastal Authorities: - Any cargo and/or bunker ship to ship transfer procedure should be followed and co-ordinated with the Coastal Authorities. - Refloating actions to be undertaken only with consent of and in co-operation with Coastal Authorities: - After refloating action take place if it is possible to manoeuvre, the MASTER in conjunction with Coastal Authorities may consider moving the vessel to a more suitable location in order for example, to facilitate emergency repair work or lightening operations, or to reduce the threat posed to any particularly sensitive shoreline areas. - If it is find out necessary to jettison of cargo or bunker, Coastal State permission must be obtained for this action. CHEMICALS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DISPERSE THE OIL UNLESS ACCEPTABLE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES

FIRE AND EXPLOSION In the event of a fire and explosion the MASTERS first priority must be to the safety of personnel and the ship and to take action to prevent escalation of the incident. Should a fire and explosion occur on board: - sound GENERAL ALARM immediately - further action should be initiated in accordance with the Ships MUSTER LIST
As this Plan deals with oil pollution incident this section is limited to the fires and explosion which consequences are ACTUAL or PROBABLE oil discharge. The MASTER must inform the Coastal Authorities of occurrence of an actual or probable discharge and take immediate action to stop or minimize spill and to minimize hazards from fire and explosion.
3.3.2.1 THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY ACTIONS MUST BE TAKEN: stop all operations (loading/discharging, bunkering, ballasting, tank washing etc.) close all valves stop all ventilation shut all openings of enclosed spaces (engine room, accommodation, cargo tanks, deck houses etc.) stand by to disconnect hoses or arms (if in ports) bring engines to stand by (if in ports) remove any craft if alongside alter course upwind of the slick (if at sea)

COLLISION In the event of a collision MASTERS first priority must be to a safety of personnel, the ship and ship which his own ship has been in collision with. When casualties occurs: - sound GENERAL ALARM immediately - the personnel muster at their designated MUSTER STATION - the MASTER should determine if immediate evacuation is necessary - Life boats to be prepared for launching, as per vessel's muster List - the GMDSS general operation on duty should broadcast distress alert and message under MASTER'S instructions - The MASTER should order ship's abandonment if he consider that this is the best course of action for the safety of lives, due to weather conditions and the vessel's situation (vessel's seaworthines)
As this Plan deals with oil pollution incident this section is limited to the collisions which consequences are ACTUAL or PROBABLE oil DISCHARGE. The MASTER must inform the Coastal Authorities of the occurrence of an actual or probable discharge and take immediate action to stop or minimize spill and to minimize hazards from fire and explosion. The following check list should assist the MASTER in assessing the situation: - Are any tanks penetrated above or below the waterline - If ship are dead in the water and interlocked, what is most prudent, to stay interlocked or separate? - Is there any oil spill at present - small or large? - Will a separation of the interlocked ships create a larger oil spill than if the ship stay interlocked? - If there is an oil spill, will the separation of the ships cause sparks that can ignite the spilled oil or other flammable substances leaked out from the ships? - Are the ships creating a greater danger to other traffic in the area if they are interlocked than if separated? - Is the ships are separated, how is the maneuverability of the own ship? If separation take place, take following action to mitigate the damage and pollution.
3.3.3.1 PREVENTION OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION All possible sources of ignition should be eliminated. Action taken to prevent flammable vapours entering accommodation and engine room spaces: - shut all none essential air intakes - shut down ventilation - close all external doors and ports in accommodation - alter course upwind of the slick (if at sea)

3.3.3.2 ASSESS THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE Visual inspection all compartment Find out if there are any tanks damaged above or below waterline. Check for visible oil along hull or in wake of the ship. At night a stick with white cloth around it may be lowered into sea water along side the ship to check for oil leakages. Sound all cargo, bunker and ballast tanks and all other compartments which have contact with the sea. Sounding to be compared with last soundings to check for possible oil leakages. Prohibit indiscriminate openings of ullage plugs, sounding caps, ports etc. which could results in loss of buoyancy.
3.3.3.3 PROCEDURES TO REDUCE OR STOP OUTFLOW When significant damage is sustained in the way of cargo or fuel tank this tank will be released fairly rapidly until hydrostatic balance is achieved and the rate of release will be reduce and be governed by the rate at which oil is displaced by the water flowing in under the oil. Especially if the damage is severe the time available for preventive action will be limited. Upon identification of the leaking tank(s) the necessary actions are: - Reduce the level in the tank(s) if full Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Isolate damaged tank by hermetically closing the tank, if possible. - If the leakage is from a side damage below the water line in order to lessen the inrush the sea water it may be necessary to raise the damage area. The transfer of ballast or cargo may have to be undertaken to bring the damaged area out of water. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - If the leakage is from a damage in the bottom plating or lower shell plating to reduce the level in the tank, if full, and then pump sea water into the bottom of the damaged tank. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. - Close inert gas valves serving those tanks which are damaged. - Transfer of cargo/bunker internally from damaged to intact tank provided shipboard piping system is in operational condition. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Evaluate the necessity of transfering cargo and/or bunker to barges or other ship and request such assistance accordingly. Any ship to ship transfer shall be carried in comply with SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER GUIDE. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - If the ship has a list due to lose of ballast, cargo, bunker or buoyancy rearrange the cargo/bunk or ballast by internal transfer operation to get ship level. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress.
3.3.3.4 SHIPS STABILITY AND STRESS Any internal transfers, tank level reducing or ship to ship transfer should be taken with a full appreciation of the likely impact on the vessels stability and stress. When the damages is extensive, the impact of internal transfer on stability and stress may be impossible for the vessels personnel to assess.

A decision to jettison cargo should therefore not be taken until all the alternative options have been considered in the light of available information upon stability and reserve buoyancy. In that case following precautions should be taken: - alert engine room personnel - consider changing E.R. intakes from high to low level - prevention of fire and explosion - all non essential inlets should be closed - rig flexible hoses (for discharge from manifold) to extend below the water surface - broadcast a radio warning 3.3.3.6 CO-ORDINATE WITH COASTAL AUTHORITIES Quick, efficient co-ordination between the ship and the Coastal Authorities is vital in mitigating the effect of pollution. Authorization prior to undertaking mitigating action must always be received from the Coastal Authorities: - Any cargo and/or bunker ship to ship transfer procedure should be followed and co-ordinated with the Coastal Authorities. - Separation to be undertaken only with consent of and in co-operation with Coastal Authorities - After separation take place if it is possible to manoeuvre, the MASTER in conjunction with Coastal Authorities may consider moving the vessel to a move suitable location in order for example, to facilitate emergency repair work or lightening operations, or to reduce the threat posed to any particularly sensitive shoreline areas.
If it is find out necessary to jettison of cargo or bunker coastal State must permission this action.

The MASTER should consider: - danger to the crew if the ship should slide off grounding site - danger of ship being broken down by heavy seas or swells - health hazards to the crew and surrounding population due to release of hazardous substances in dangerous concentrations - that fire may start due to released flammable substances caused by uncontrolled ignition sources - is the ship constantly being struck in the seaway? - is the ship exposed to torsion? - is there large difference in the tidal ranges at the grounding site? - are there strong tidal current in the grounding area? - may the ship drift further up on the shore due to high tides, wind and waves? The MASTER should also evaluate the question of refloating the vessel by own means. Before such an attempt is made, it must be determined: - Whether the ship is damaged in such a way that it may sink, break up or capsize after getting off; - Whether the ship after getting off may have maneuvering problems upon leaving the dangerous area by own means - Whether machinery, rudder or propeller are damaged due to grounding or may be damaged by trying to get off ground by own means, - Whether the ship may be trimmed or lightened sufficiently to avoid damage to other tanks in order to reduce additional pollution from bunker spillage - Weather evaluation: whether there is time/reason to await improvements in weather or tide. If the risk of further damage to the ship is greater in an attempt to refloat the ship by own means, than in remaining aground until professional assistance has been obtained the MASTER should try to prevent the ship from moving from its present position

PREVENTION OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION All possible sources of ignition should be eliminated. Action taken to prevent flammable vapours entering accommodation and engine room spaces: - shut all none essential air intakes - shut down ventilation - close all external doors and ports in accommodation - alter course upwind of the slick (if at sea)

ASSESS THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE Visual inspection all compartment Check for visible oil along hull or in wake of the ship. At night a stick with white cloth around it may be lowered into sea water along side the ship to check for oil leakages. Sound all cargo, bunker and ballast tanks and all other compartments which have contact with the sea. Sounding to be compared with last soundings to check for possible oil leakages. Prohibit indiscriminate openings of ullage plugs, sounding caps, ports etc. which could results in loss of buoyancy. Sound to be taken around the ship to establish the ship position on the grounding area.
3.3.9.3
PROCEDURES TO REDUCE OR STOP OUTFLOW When significant damage is sustained in the way of cargo or fuel tank this tank will be released fairly rapidly until hydrostatic balance is achieved and the rate of release will be reduce and be governed by the rate at which oil is displaced by the water flowing in under the oil. Especially if the damage is severe the time available for preventive action will be limited. If it is not possible to identify the specific tank(s) from which leakage is occurring the necessary actions are: - Reduce the level of all tanks in the vicinity. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. This action will need to be taken promptly if it is to have significant impact on the oil released from tanks that are already open the sea. Upon identification of the leaking tank(s) the necessary actions are: - Reduce the level in the tank(s) if full Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. - Isolate damaged tank by hermetically closing the tank, if possible. - If the leakage is from a damage in the bottom plating or lower shell plating to reduce the level in the tank, if full and than pumping a water bottom into the damaged tank. - Reduce inert gas pressure to a minimum positive pressure throughout the cargo system. - close inert gas valves serving those tanks which are damaged.

Transfer of cargo/bunker internally from damaged to intact tank provided shipboard piping system is in operational condition. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. Evaluate the necessity of transferring cargo and/or bunker to barges or other ship and request such assistance accordingly. Any ship to ship transfer shall be carried in comply with SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER GUIDE. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress. If the ship has a list (after refloating action take place) due to lose of ballast, cargo, bunker or buoyancy rearrange the bunker or ballast by internal transfer operation to get ship level. Do not forget the impact on ships stability and stress
3.3.9.4 -
SHIPS STABILITY AND STRESS Any internal transfers, tank level reducing or ship to ship transfer should be taken with a full appreciation of the likely impact on the vessels stability and stress. When the damages is extensive, the impact of internal transfer on stability and stress may be impossible for the vessels personnel to assess.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE (ERS) is shore base service for prompt access to computerized damage stability and residual strength calculation. (see App 4 Ship interest contact) Contact have to be with OPERATORS HEAD OFFICE ERC will require following information to make damage stability and damage longitudinal stress assessment calculation: Cargo and ballast disposition (for each tank, in tones; empty tanks to be described as such) Fuel oil, amount and distribution Draft when a float (prior to grounding) Location and extent of damage observed (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) Location and extent of damage surmised (identify by frames, bulkheads, deck) Extent to which aground (if applicable) Draft (fore, aft, mid port, mid stb.) Loss or change in amounts of cargo/bunker and disposition Detail any action already taken Tide, range of tide, falling or rising Wind, strength and direction Sea and swell, height and direction Current, speed and direction Weather forecast Air and sea temperature Nature of the bottom Other locally significant features
Having received these informations the OPERATOR will contact ERS and after ERS assessment calculation advise Master what action can be safety taken to minimize the damage and prevent further pollution.

Quick, efficient co-ordination between the ship and Coastal States or other parties involved becomes vital in mitigating the effects of an oil pollution incident. As the identities and roles of various National and local Authorities involved vary widely from state to state and even from port to port the MASTER should take note of these particularities, as far as possible. In this context the MASTER should call upon the owners representatives in the state/port of question to receive the relevant information. Prior to undertaking mitigation actions specially in cases of an actual discharge of oil due to casualties in the territorial waters of a Coastal State the MASTER should contact the Coastal State for authorization of his actions. The MASTER should co-ordinate all his activities with the Coastal State. The MASTER should call the Coastal State for allowance to use chemical agents for response to oil pollution on the sea. Without authorization of the Authorities of the appropriate Coastal State no chemical agents should be used. Where no responsibility for discharge response by a Coastal State is noticed the MASTER should take all the necessary steps as deemed appropriate to minimize the escape of oil. With respect of the accident happened the MASTER should take measures as stated in SECTION 2 and SECTION 3 of this Plan.

VesselOperators/Managers have arranged in advance for a Shoreside Spill Response Co-Ordinator or Qualified Individual, who will ensure the proper spill response is carried out, so that the Master and crew are free to handle the problems on the vessel. When a Shoreside Spill Response Co-Ordinator or Qualified Individual is engaged on scene, the Master should initially communicate directly with this individual, should there be a situation where a spill has occurred or there is a possibility of a potential oil spill.

RECORD-KEEPING, SAMPLING
It is very important that accurate details of any incident, actions, reports and all other events are recorded in logbook. The observed movement of the spilled oil should be recorded together with details of prevailing wind, current and sea conditions. If the spill occurs in port, details of the affected areas should be noted. The use of photographs is recommended but care should be taken not to contravene local regulations. Samples of oil from the water (spilled area) should always be taken, particularly if the oil is not from your vessel. The taking of samples, labeling and sealing should be witnessed. It is recommended to draw two samples on each occasion, one to be retained on board.

SALVAGE When the vessel is partially or fully disable, the master shall determine if salvage assistance should be obtained. The decision process should include: Nearest land or hazard to navigation; Vessels set and drift; Location and time of impact with hazard based on vessels set and drift; Estimated time of casualty repair; and Determination of the nearest capable assistance and its response time (i.e. or tug assistance, the time it will take to get on scene and secure the tow). When a casualty occurs to a vessel underway that reduces its manoeuvrability, the master needs to determine his window of opportunity considering the response time of assistance, regardless of the estimated time to repair. It would not be prudent to hesitate in calling for assistance when time needed to repair something goes beyond the window of opportunity Safety of personnel Weather and sea conditions Current and tide Nature of seabed and shoreline Potential for safe anchoring Damage already sustained by the ship Risk of further damage to the ship Threat of pollution

In most instances, the ships initial report will trigger the mobilization of the local response organization. It is not normally practical for ships personnel to be directly involved in the clean-up activities and their prime role must be toprovide as much information as is necessary to assist the response and to cooperate fully with the clean-up personnel. However, where there is no local response or there is a delay in it being activated, the Master should consider the use of available shipboard materials to clean-up or contain the spilled oil by, for example, using ship-stocked sorbents or utilizing mooring ropes or air-filled fire hoses as make shift booms. In the case of small operational spills, the ship should take whatever actions are necessary to prevent oil escaping overside and, having done so, will need to take action to clean up the oil contained on deck. This could usefully include sorbent material, degreasant, dispersant and portable pumps, all of which should be maintained ready to respond rapidly to minor spills. It must be stressed that spilled oil should never be washed overside, nor should dispersants or degreasants be used on oil spilt in the water as their use could contravene local regulations. Once the oil is in the water, there is very little what the ship can do to respond practically, and reliance must be placed on shore authorities and organizations. b)0.%.%.%.%.%.%.% % LARGER SPILLS
In the case of larger spills, the ship is even more restricted as to what action it can take to respond practically to the spill. In the case of a casualty, the safety of the ship and crow will always take priority. Invariably, therefore, ships action will be limited to reporting details to the relevant Authorities, Owners and P & I Club, and to requesting the appropriate clean-up response. The Master will act as the Operators on-scene representative and will be responsible for overseeing the actions of any salvage or oil spill contractors employed until such time as he is formally advised by the Operator that he has been relieved of these responsibilities. b)0.%.%.%.%.%.%.% % PREDICION OF SLICK MOVEMENT
As important piece of information that is often lacking following an oil spill is the expected movement of the resulting slick under the influence of winds and currents. Ships personnel may be in a good position to make an initial estimation of likely movement either by observation or computation by a simple plot, provided the necessary information on local wind and current speed is available. It has been found that floating oil will move downwind at about 3% of the wind speed. It will be further influenced by the 100% of the prevailing current speed and direction, and the estimated actual movement of the slick will be in a direction and at a speed indicated by the vector formed when combining wind and current forces.

b)0.%.%.%.%.%.%.% %
The method used to combat spills depends on the type and quantity of oil involved, the location of the accident and the policy of the Country in which the spill occurs. A knowledge of the various response techniques and their strengths and weaknesses is considered useful for vessel Owners and Crews, especially for situations where the spiller wishes, or is required, to organize the response operation. The options are: b) b) b) b) Leave the oil to dissipate naturally and monitor slick movement. Chemically disperse the oil on the water. Contain and recover oil from water. Protect specific sensitive sites and clean up contaminated shorelines.
Often a combination of two or more of these approaches is appropriate. It is generally accepted that if winds and currents are likely to take the oil away from coastlines and sensitive resources, the best thing is to leave the oil to dissipate naturally. However as many spills tend to occur in coastal waters, this option is frequently not possible. b)0.%.%.%.%.%.%.% %
Most Countries recognize that it is unreasonable and impractical to except a vessel owner or crew to respond to a spill from the ship, and therefore a Government agency or port Authority will normally take charge and recover their costs afterwards. In a relatively few Countries, for example USA and Japan, vessel owner are required to organize the clean-up of a spill from one of their ships, and this will usually necessitate employing a local oil spill clean-up contractor or oil industry clean-up cooperative. A number of developing nations lack both specialized resources and contingency plans and may rely on help from a variety of sources outside the country to assist with clean-up. In such cases it may be in the owners best interest to seek an active involvement in the spill response organization. However, it should be recognized that the actual response adopted by a country to a particular incident will depend upon a number of factors such as the location of the spill, the type and quantity of oil involved and the Owner of both the ship and the cargo.
b)0.%.%.%.%.%.%.% %
LIABILITY ISSUES
In addition to compesation issues, the MASTER of a ship causing, or suspected of causing a spill of persistent oil or other product may be faced with criminal proceedings or summary action leading to fines and even imprisonment. Faced with complex questions of compensation and liability the MASTER and crew of a ship involved in an incident would be wise to seek expert advise before giving statements or expressing opinions on such issues to representatives of Government Authorities, other parties involved in the incident or the media. Such advise will normally be readily available in the form of a local lawyer instructed by the vessels owner or by the P & I Club, usually through their local correspondents or agents. This should not, however, prevent the MASTER and crew offering full co-operation to the authorities or other parties involved in the response operation.
