7 SECTION 3, Steps to control Discharge RESPONSIBILITIES: Ship master: - Ensure that all crew members know what to do in case of incidents. Ref. Company`s SMS - Get a view of status consequences. - Supervise actions onboard. - Warning/ reporting from the ship. Ref. SMS Chief engineer: - Practical steps to be taken onboard to control or minimize consequences Operation Office: - Judge the reported info from the ship and consider the involvement of insuranceand/or salvage company. - Relate to public information, press OPERATIONAL SPILLS: Pipe Leakages: The chief engineer is obliged to: * Stop the system liquid flow (valves/pumps) * Repair pipes in question, when located. (permanently repair if materials available onboard) * Leakage oil spills onboard to be removed, by drain to drain bilge water tank. * Cleaning by chemicals/water * Oily water stored in tanks to be separated through the L.O. separator. * Clean water to be discharged overboard. * Recovered oil to be stored in oil drain tank Tank overflooding: [ref. Tank Plan Dwg.no ] * Fuel oil system: F.O. type is Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) stored in 11 hull integrated tanks, 2 main day tank and 1 Emrg.gen. tank. The chief engineer is responsible for safe bunkering of fuel oil, and for reporting to the ship master in case of over flooding. The FO-system includes remote sounding system and tank level switches/alarms. The tank air pipes are furnished with spill trays Hull/structural damage & leakage: The double bottom tanks and all other tanks to be regularly inspected for leakages and damages, by the chief engineer. The same applies for other internal shell panels. Oil spill and remaining tank contents to be transferred to vacant tank spaces. The chief engineer and the master must consider repairs and the necessity of going to a shipyard for repairs.

8 3.3. SPILLS CAUSED BY CASUALTIES: General: In case any of the below listed casualties should occur the first priority of the ship master will be to get an overview of the situation, and consider the safety of the crew and other personnel onboard. Secondly, in cooperation with the chief engineer, to implement actions to prevent the casualties to develop, and to minimize the consequences. Priority of actions will be those that may prevent fire and against the wind direction, and close all external air inlets etc. explosions; such as setting the ship bow If the ship cannot manoeuvre (grounding.), all potentional combustion sources are to be removed, and actions taken to prevent combustible gasses to enter into the accommodation and engine areas. When it is possible to manoeuvre the ship, the master shall consider repositioning the ship to a more appropriate position, to enable simple repairs, or to go into an oil dispersant freeing operation. A freeing operation is only to be activated after discussions with the owners, and with the nearest coastal emergency station (freeing coordinator) Grounding: Damage stability calculations are required for this ship. See manual Damage stability calculation. The hull below main deck is divided into watertight compartments, + roll reduction tanks amid ship, + forepeak tank. See drawing In case of grounding, the ships master shall report to the ship operator's office/owners. The chief engineer shall perform a visual inspection of all underwater shell panels, tanks and compartments. He shall also observe the development of the draft, by watching the external draft marks fore and aft, also considering the tide situation.

9 Fire and explosions: Ref. is made to item The Fire & Alarm Instruction (and Safety Plan) will be the main guidance to crew responsibilities. All compartments by fire detection and warning system, with a central unit in the wheelhouse. Total flooding water mist (SEMCO) system is applied for: - Engine room. - Propulsion room. - Separator room. - Engine workshop room. - Winch drive room. - Switchboard room. - Casing. - Emergency / Harbour generator room. - Incinerator room. Also, engines, propulsion motor L.O. separator, F.O. separator, boiler and incinerator are protected by local application watermist. Accommodation are protected by watermist system too. The air supply fans for the engine room will automatically be shut down when the system is released. The chief engineer is responsible for the release. All precautions are to be taken in the daily routines to minimize the risk of fire or explosions onboard Collision: Ref. is made to item and The ship master is responsible for the reporting to the ship operators and local emergency station. The chief engineer is responsible to close all doors, hatches and openings where sea water may intrude, and to empty flooded compartments by means of bilge water system pumps, or portable pumps, and report the development of the situation to the master Inclination/list: The system- and storage tanks are transversely divided by longitude WT bulkheads. First action when inclination occurs, is to compensate by transferring system liquids from the immerged side to the corresponding tanks of the opposite side. If the inclination situation is not improved this way, or tend to develop beyond control, the ship master must call for emergency assistance by the emergency station, and inform the operators. Unexpected trim due to collision or structural damages are to be compensated correspondingly, by transferring tanks contents longitudinally. If the inclination is caused by unexpected shifting of cargo or fishing equipment, actions must be taken to move these loads back to original position, by means of deck cranes or tackles. Action responsibility: Chief engineer (and fishing master, for fishing gears) Hull Failure If the ship 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:

10 If oil or noxious liquid substances has spilled, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan If immediate action is necessary to jettison cargo, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan Consider whether offloading of oil or noxious liquid substances that is necessary to maintain stability can wait until another ship or a barge is available If the change in stability and stress cannot be calculated on board, contact the classification society and arrange for the necessary calculations to be carried out Consider the forecast weather conditions and the effect they may have on the situation. Having assessed the damage and dealt with imminent danger, consideration of further action for repair or cargo transhipment, or mitigating the effect of liquid spilt, should be done in conjunction with appropriate authorities, to facilitate pollution control. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check list is included in Appendix F Containment System Failure If there has been an internal failure of the bunker oil or cargo containment system, other than pipeline leakage, it is likely that it will be detected by another symptom such as an excessive list, a tank overflow or external hull leakage, often preceded or accompanied by a loud or unusual noise. Advice on initial reaction in each case will be described under other sections. However, once a failure of the internal containment system has been identified, there may be additional responses that can be taken to avoid or mitigate a spill of oil or a noxious liquid substance. Steps to be taken immediately: Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballasting operations in progress, and close all tank valves and pipeline master valves If under way, consider reducing speed or stopping If in port, consider evacuation of non-essential personnel Further measures: Determine the extent of the damage, and decide what damage control measures can be taken. If the failure has occurred to a system containing a noxious liquid substance, consider what safety precautions are necessary to protect the crew from vapours or contact with the liquid Assess the possibility of pollution from leakage of oil or noxious liquid substances If oil or a noxious liquid substance has spilled, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan If immediate action is necessary to jettison cargo, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan Consider whether offloading of oil or a noxious liquid substance that is necessary in order to maintain stability can wait until another ship or a barge is available Consider whether the level of liquid in the tanks associated with the system failure should be reduced. Remember to consider the effect on hull stress and stability of the vessel and the compatibility of noxious liquid substances with tank type, material of construction and tank coating. If the spilled liquid is contained on board and can be handled by the Pollution Prevention Team then: Use sorbents and permissible solvents to clean up the liquid spilled on board. Ensure that any residues collected, and any contaminated absorbent materials used in the clean-up operation are stored carefully prior to disposal. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F Submerged, Foundered or Wrecked If the ship is wrecked to the extent that it is in imminent danger of foundering or being completely or partially submerged, safety of the lives of the crew will take priority over preventing pollution. It is

11 likely that the event which caused the sinking will have led to some surface pollution already. However, if time allows, it may be possible to take some measures which will limit subsequent spillage. The following actions may be considered, if there is no risk to the safety of the crew, and time allows: Inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan Close all tank valves and pipeline master valves Screw down or lock shut any tank vent valves Close vent flaps and watertight openings in the cargo area Alert other ships and navigational authorities to the presence of pollutants. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F Hazardous Vapour Release For oil tankers and cargo ships at sea, it is unlikely that a significant marine pollution hazard will be created solely by vapour release. In port the main problem with such an event is safety of the crew and nearby shore personnel in a flammable or toxic atmosphere. Steps to take immediately: Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballasting operations in progress, and close all tank valves and pipeline master valves. Eliminate possible sources of ignition. If under way, consider altering course to create the best wind flow, or reducing speed or stopping. If in port, consider evacuation of non-essential personnel. If in port, alert shore and terminal personnel, and the crew of craft alongside. Further measures: Establish the reason for the hazardous vapour release. If possible, take corrective action to rectify the situation. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F Dangerous Reactions of Cargoes and Cargo Contamination This is an inherent danger associated with the carriage of chemical cargoes and noxious liquid substances. If a dangerous cargo reaction or contamination of a cargo yielding a hazardous condition occurs, the consequences to the safety of the ship, its crew and nearby shore personnel will be paramount, and must take priority. However, a result of the occurrence may be a spill into the sea, and mitigation of the risk of pollution or actual pollution can be addressed by consideration of the following measures: Steps to take immediately: Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballasting operations in progress, and close all tank valves and pipeline master valves. Eliminate possible sources of ignition. If oil or a noxious liquid substance has spilled, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan. If immediate action is necessary to jettison cargo, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan. If in port, alert shore and terminal personnel, and the crew of any craft alongside. Further measures Establish the reason for the reaction or contamination. If possible, take corrective action to rectify the situation. This may involve reducing the liquid level in a tank, cooling or diluting a mixture where a reaction is in progress, or containing the process by smothering with inert gas or foam.

12 Consider whether offloading of oil or a noxious liquid substance that is necessary for safety or in order to maintain stability can wait until another ship or a barge is available. If the change in stability and stress cannot be calculated on board, contact the classification society and arrange for the necessary calculations to be carried out. Consider whether external salvage assistance may be necessary for control and mitigation of a probable spill. An early warning that proves to be over-cautious and must be cancelled may be better than a late call that cannot be met. Having assessed the situation and dealt with imminent danger, consideration of further action or cargo transhipment, or to mitigate the effects of liquid spilt, should be done in conjunction with appropriate authorities, in order to facilitate pollution control. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F Other Dangerous Cargo Release Danger to personnel, the ship or shore installations should be given priority over the potential for pollution. However, release of noxious liquid substances into the sea can create dangerous situations through reaction between the liquid and water. Steps to take immediately: Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballasting operations in progress, and close all tank valves and pipeline master valves. Eliminate possible sources of ignition. By reference to the cargo information sheet, determine whether a dangerous reaction with water is likely. If oil or a noxious liquid substance has spilled, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan. If in port, alert shore and terminal personnel, and the crew of any craft alongside. Further measures Establish the reason for the cargo release. If possible, take corrective action to stop the release. This may involve reducing the liquid level in a tank by transferring it to another tank. Remember to consider the effect on hull stress and stability of the vessel and the compatibility of noxious liquid substances with tank type, material of construction and tank coating. If the change in stability and stress cannot be calculated on board, contact the classification society and arrange for the necessary calculations to be carried out. If it is necessary to offload a noxious liquid substance, consider whether it can wait until another ship or a barge is available. Consider whether external salvage assistance may be necessary for control and mitigation of a probable spill. An early warning that proves to be over-cautious and must be cancelled may be better than a late call that cannot be met. Having assessed the situation and dealt with imminent danger, consideration of further action or cargo transhipment, or to mitigate the effects of liquid spilt, should be done in conjunction with appropriate authorities, in order to facilitate pollution control. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F Loss of Tank Environmental Control Many noxious liquid substances carried as cargo by sea are required to have the atmosphere above the liquid controlled in order to ensure safety. Loss of this control can result in a hazardous situation that may lead to marine pollution. If loss of control occurs in tanks containing such cargoes, the following measures can avoid or mitigate the effect and the possibility of a spill. Steps to take immediately: Ensure necessary precautionary safety measures for crew, ship and shore are taken

13 Establish the reason for the loss of tank environmental control, and if possible take corrective action. Establish a continual monitoring process to compare liquid levels, tank pressures or cargo temperatures. By reference to the cargo information sheet, determine whether a dangerous situation is likely to arise. If a spill is probable, or jettison of the noxious liquid substance may become necessary, inform the appropriate parties in accordance with Section 2 of this plan. Further measures: Consider whether it is possible to transfer the noxious liquid substance to another tank, taking account of the effect on hull stress and stability of the vessel and the compatibility of noxious liquid substances with tank type, material of construction and tank coating. Use of a simple check list is recommended. Example check lists are included in Appendix F.

14 SECTION 4, National and local Co-operation General: The aim of this Plan must be to ensure an efficient coordination and communication between the ship crew, the owners and the shore authorities, to minimize the risk regarding human life, ships and environments, and to fulfil the intentions of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships The ship master: * Must be informed by the operators/owners of the ship regarding local national routines for the handling of and responsibilities for ship casualties/emergencies in all areas where the ship is expected to operate. The same applies for the local national rules concerning pollution discharges. * Must contact the local/national shore authorities through the emergency stations/radio for approval, before involving salvage/towing boats, helicopters, oil pollution lensing ship or similar. * When reporting casualties, contact the ship operators/owners first. Ref. Company SMS preparedness plan. The latter is basically responsible for the official reporting to the authorities, insurance companies and to the press.
