9  PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT  PRECAUTIONARY AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES  QUICK AND EFFECTIVE ACTION FOR MITIGATING DAMAGES  EFFECTIVE PREPARADNESS  ART.3º: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS FOR OIL POLUTION FROM VESSELS, RIGS AND PORTS.

10 10  Provides policy and response framework for government organisation (s)  Allows implementing a complex response organization in a calm, non-emergency environment - free from any pressure  Fulfils the requirements of I nternational Agreements, e.g. OPRC

11  MAPPING  ALERT  RESPONSE  EMERGENCY AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT  WHO PAYS?

12 12 Strategy plan study of the risks and impacts of spills identification of adequate response strategy definition of a response organisation Operational plan summarizes the findings of the strategic study formatted in a clear document for responders

13 13  Analyze the risk of oil spills  Estimate the likely behaviour and fate of the oil spilled  Assess the threat to sensitive areas  Analyze the risk of oil spills  Estimate the likely behaviour and fate of the oil spilled  Assess the threat to sensitive areas Define best-suited oil spill response strategy Define resources needed to implement the strategy Define requirements for training and exercises Define best-suited oil spill response strategy Define resources needed to implement the strategy Define requirements for training and exercises

14 14  Justifies the technical choices based on scientific risk analysis and assessment of potential impacts

15 15  Behaviour of oil: ◦ Estimate at least evaporation and likelihood of emulsifying as a function of time spent at sea  Likely movements of oil slicks: ◦ Use historical data on winds and currents ◦ Calculate drifting of oil slicks

16 16  Technical choices should be based on NEBA analysis, based on following principle: “The aims of oil spill response are to minimize damage to environmental and socioeconomic resources, and to reduce the time for recovery of affected resources by achieving an acceptable standard of cleanliness.” Source: IPIECA – Volume no. 10

17 17 WHO ALERTS WHO? WHO COMMANDS WHO? WHO DOES WHAT? WHO PAYS WHAT? Operational plan

18  INTERRUPTION OF DISCHARGE AND CONTAINMENT OF SPILL;  PROTECTION OF VULNERABLE AREAS;  SPILL MONITORING;  CLEAN UP AND MECHANICAL OR CHEMICAL DISPERSEMENT;  WHAT TO DO WITH THE RESIDUES;

19 19 1. Has there been a realistic assessment of the nature and size of the possible threat, and of the resources most at risk, bearing in mind the probable movement of any oil spilled? 2. Have priorities for protection been agreed, taking into account the viability of the various protection and clean-up options? Source : IMO

20 20 3. Has a strategy for protecting and cleaning the various areas been agreed and clearly explained? 4. Has the necessary organisation been outlined and the responsibilities of all those involved been clearly stated with no ‘grey areas’ - will all who have a task to perform be aware of what is expected of them? Ten questions for assessing the adequacy of a contingency plan Source : IMO

21 21 5. Are the levels of equipment, materials and manpower sufficient to deal with the anticipated size of spill. If not, have back-up resources been identified and, where necessary, have mechanisms for obtaining their release and entry to the country been established? 6. Have temporary storage sites and final disposal routes for collected oil and debris been identified? Ten questions for assessing the adequacy of a contingency plan Source : IMO

22 22 7. Are the alerting and initial evaluation procedures fully explained as well as arrangements for continual review of the progress and effectiveness of the clean- up operation? 8. Have the arrangements for ensuring effective communication between shore, sea and air been described? Ten questions for assessing the adequacy of a contingency plan Source : IMO

23 23 9. Have all aspects of the plan been tested and nothing significant found lacking? 10. Is the plan compatible with plans for adjacent areas and other activities? Ten questions for assessing the adequacy of a contingency plan Source : IMO

24 24 WHO ALERTS WHO? WHO COMMANDS WHO? WHO DOES WHAT? WHO PAYS WHAT? USA: OPA 90 SECTION 4203 – CONTINGENCY AND RESPONSE PLANS

25  THE POLLUTER IS A PARTY THAT IS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACTIVITY THAT CAUSES ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE (ART. 3rd, item IV of Law 6.938/81).

26 PORTS, PORT INSTALATIONS AND RIGS:  INSTALATIONS TO RECEIVE AND TREAT OIL RESIDUES (ART. 5);  PROCEDURES MANUAL FOR MANAGEMENT OF POLUTION RISKS (ART. 6);  INDIVIDUAL EMERGENCY PLANS APPROVED BY THE COMPETENT ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORITY IN ORDER TO BECOME CONTINGENCY PLANS (ARTs. 7 and 8);  INDEPENDENT ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITS (ART.9);

27 Oil Spill Management training course - Durres, Rep. of Albania - 13 to 15 December 2006 27 National Authority takes overall responsibility NO Can response be handled on site using local resources? Can response be handled on site using local resources? Tier 1 / Tier 2 Tier 3 Mobilize resources from other government organizations or through international assistance Notify IMO Initiate response Notify national authorities Initiate response Notify national authorities YES

28  R$ 115M (caUSD53M) FINES  PORT AND TERMINAL LISTED AS DEFENDANTS IN THE CIVIL PUBLIC ACTION SUIT AS WELL AS RECOVERY MEASURES REACHING CA R$ 196M (caUSD90M)  THE TERMINAL HAS BEEN LISTED AS DEFENDANT IN THOUSANDS OF CLAIMS  THE TERMINAL, THE PRESIDENT OF THE TERMINAL, THE CONSULTANT THAT ELABORATED THE INDIVIDUAL PLAN FOR THE TERMINAL, THE PUBLIC SERVANT WHO APPROVED THE PLAN, THE PORT SUPERINTENDENT, THE OPERATIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE PORT, THE SPILL CLEAN UP COMPANY AND ITS DIRECTOR ARE ALL LISTED AND ARE BEING PROSECUTED IN FEDERAL CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
