1. Introduction 1. 1 Statutory Requirement The Oil Spill Contingency Plan has been developed to conform to the

Merchant Shipping (Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation Convention) Regulations 1998, SI 1998 No. 1056, which entered into effect on the 15th May 1998 and also amendment 2001 SI 1639 in force on 11th June 2001.

The Plan is based on the well-established response arrangements, detailed in the predecessor documents, SOLSPILL and Fawley Site Oil Spill Response Plan, to meet the statutory responsibilities placed on an Oil Installation for responding to oil pollution within the respective areas of responsibility.

This plan works in conjunction with the ABP Port of Southampton Oil Spill

Contingency Plan. 1. 2 Purpose of the Plan

The Fawley Site Oil Spill Contingency Plan (Fawley Site OSCP) is designed to outline the way in which the Fawley site should initially deal with an oil spill from Fawley Marine Terminal (FMT), any vessel alongside Fawley Marine Terminal, or a release from the site to Southampton Water within the designated areas of responsibility.

This is a primary plan specifically for the areas of responsibility, yet the

circumstances at the time of a spill may dictate that a different clean-up approach be taken. The plan is intended to allow an efficient first response to be mounted for oil in the water, utilising the equipment available to the Fawley site. This first response will be supported by appropriate later actions.

In the event of oil impacting the coastline, overall responsibility for clean-up has been accepted by the local authority. The Fawley site must work in co-operation with the local authority and maintain a close liaison with them throughout. The appropriate contacts can be found in Section 9.

This plan uses a tiered response to oil pollution incidents. The plan is designed to deal with Tier One & Two spillages supporting the ABP Port plan. Where a spillage is associated with a wider emergency, then additional factors involving the safety of personnel will take precedence over the pollution response. In this case, reference must be made to the ABP Port of Southampton Oil Spill Contingency Plan. The salvage and casualty management of any vessel posing a threat of pollution are priority considerations. Larger spills that cannot be contained within the areas or beyond the limits of equipment available at Fawley Site may require additional resources and back-up.



During oil spill response activities account must be taken of the following:

• Fawley Site hazards information

• Adherence to permit procedures

• Boat safety

• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needs

• Spill site pre-entry procedures

• Heat stress, cold stress and hypothermia

• Decontamination procedures

• Environmental sensitivities

• Record Keeping

• Public relations

• Waste disposal

• For the plan to be effective, it must be:

o Familiar to those with essential response functions within the Fawley Site;

o Regularly exercised; and

o Reviewed and updated on a regular basis; and

o Acceptable to work within the ABP Port of Southampton Oil Spill Contingency Plan.



1.3 Scope of the Plan

The response plan details the contingency arrangements for responding to actual or threatened Oil Pollution incidents within the Area of Responsibility for Tier One and Tier Two The Defined Area of Responsibility is detailed in the following table:

Contains all the supplementary information relevant to the performance of the plan, such as;

Contact Directory, Training and Exercise Policy, Risk Assessment, Resources and Product Information Sheets.



1.4 Interfacing Oil Pollution Contingency Plans 1.4.1 Port Plans

The ESSO Fawley Marine Terminal is located within the Port of Southampton, and as such will form ESSO’s Tier 1 response plan designed to be used in conjunction with the ABP Southampton Oil Spill Contingency Plan.

The Harbour Authority, upon advice from ESSO Petroleum Co. Ltd. will initiate the appropriate first response to a Tier One incident at the Fawley site. The company will either complete the clean up to the satisfaction of the Harbour Master or, in the event of larger spills, will deploy their resources as directed by the Marine Response Centre and the Oil Spill Management Team (OMT).

The preparation of this plan has been produced after consultation with the Harbour Master. Port of Southampton, to ensure integration within the Port of Southampton Oil Spill Contingency Plan Consultation has also been sought with: • Natural England • MMO

• Environment Agency • Hampshire County Council

• New Forest District Council

The requirements of these authorities and organisations have been taken into account and they have individually confirmed their general agreement to the plan details or taken no exception.



1.6 Risk Assessment Summary (For full risk assessment details refer to section 11). The following table illustrates the potential scenarios and credible release quantities for the summarised oil spill risks associated with the Fawley Marine Terminal. The credible spill quantities for tankers have been estimated for conventional, single hull vessels. The risk of spillage and the quantities involved, as a result of grounding, collision, berthing incident or tug impact have diminished with more double hulled vessels and tankers with protectively located ballast tanks in service.

Cause Assessed Risk Credible Spill Quantity (Tonnes)

Grounding in Thorn Channel Moderate >100 crude, >50 fuel

Grounding in Southampton Water

Low <50 fuel

Collision Underway Low >500 crude, >100 fuel

Berthing Incident Low <TBC5000 crude, >TBC1000 fuel

Tug Impact Low >TBC2000 crude, >500 fuel

Oil Transfer Operations Low/Moderate <100 crude, >25 fuel

Oil Tanker Breakout Low >100 crude

Oil Tanker Hull Failure Low >700 crude

Pipeline Failure TBC Moderate <600 crude, <200 fuel

Bunkering Operations Low/Moderate <5 fuel, marine gas oil

Ship to Ship Transfers Low <5 slops/fuel

Ship cargo tank overflow Low <5 crude

Loading Arm Failure Low <5 crude

Effluent Discharge Low <20 various

Miscellaneous Sources Moderate <1 diesel/lubes



1.7 Classification of Oil Spills

TIER 1

Small release contained within the defined area of responsibility, which can be dealt with using the resources immediately available to the Fawley Site Shift Team. Category is Marine Pollution within the defined area of responsibility around the Fawley Marine Terminal, which can be contained, recovered and/or dispersed by the existing shift team.

TIER 2

Medium release within defined area of responsibility, which is likely to impact on the shoreline or migrate outside of the defined area.

Tier Two is divided in to two levels of response:

Tier Two ‘A’ a release which can be contained, recovered and dispersed by the use of support personnel and equipment that can be readily deployed. e.g. tugs, sorbent boom etc. by Fawley Refinery and its associated specialist contractor (OSR).

Tier TWO ‘B’ a release which requires substantial commitment of the ABP Southampton Port Oil Spill Contingency Plan and may involve regional assistance with the response being managed under the Chairmanship of the Harbour Master.

TIER 3

Large release which may exceed the full resources of the ABP Port of Southampton Oil Spill Contingency Plan and which may require national assistance and/or the implementation of the National Contingency Plan

Irrespective of the Spill classification, the ABP Southampton Port Duty Watch manager has the responsibility of completing & submitting the POLREP CG77 report. The Fawley Marine Terminal, Marine Superintendent has responsibility to provide relevant & timely information to the VTS Watch Manager using the Initial Oil spill incident pro-forma in Appendix 2. The Environment Agency must be advised immediately after informing the Port Authority. Subsequent to this the ABP Southampton Port Duty VTS Watch manager will complete any further details and submit the form to MRSC Solent whether the spill is doubtful, probable or a confirmed spillage.

1.8 Plan Custodian

The responsibility of the upkeep, amendment and review of this contingency plan has been assigned to the Offsites BTL. It is his responsibility to ensure that the plan contains only current information and is reviewed in accordance with the legislative requirement.

4.2.5 Oil Spill Sampling Checklist.

C5 Oil Spill Sampling Checklist

This checklist is designed to give guidance on taking samples of spilled oil. By following this checklist, it will be possible to ensure that sufficient oil has been collected, packaged correctly, labelled correctly and handled in such a way that it may be used as part of a legal claim / prosecution.

ITEM GUIDANCE

� Number of samples required

By law, a single sample of the spilled oil should be collected. However, it would be desirable to take at least three samples.

� Sample frequency Whenever an incident is on-going, at least one sample of spilled oil should be taken per day, where the oil pollution is on the water. Where shoreline impact has occurred, then one sample per every 1km of impacted shoreline should be taken per day.

� Sample size Generally, at least 500ml of liquid should be taken or in the case of polluted shoreline, at least 50 grammes.

� Method of sampling Where the oil is free floating, it is imperative that the oil is skimmed from the water’s surface, and that no excessive amount of water is recovered. Where oil has impacted on the shoreline then oil should be scraped from rocks etc and placed in the sample container.

� Sealing of sample containers

Samples should be placed in screw top bottles and the top sealed with a means of ensuring that it cannot be tampered with, such as an adhesive label placed over the top and bottle.

� Labelling of Samples Sample bottle should be labelled in accordance with MCA STOp notice number 4/2001 instructions (appended to this document)

� Information The samples should be sent to the address given in the STOp notice. In addition to this, the MCA should be informed of the fact.

5. Response Guidelines

This section provides guidelines on the type of response strategy that should be adopted for different types of oil spill incidents. It would be difficult to have a generic strategy with the range of oil types handled. To this end the strategies have been broken down to into three types as listed below. (Refer to Section 11 for the different potential spill scenarios).

No Oil Type Strategy Figure

Specific Gravity

Genre Characteristics Examples

1 Light oils 5.2 < 0.8 White oils

Non-persistent,

2 Medium oils

5.3 0.8 - 0.95 Black oils

Persistent, Fluid,

Emulsion

Forties crude oil

3 Heavy oil 5.4 > 0.95 Black oils

Persistent, Viscous, Emulsion

Fuel oils

By selecting the appropriate strategy figure, the user can derive an indicative strategy path to mitigate the effects of an oil spill, consistent with safe practice and net environmental benefit.



5.1 Predetermined Response Guidelines

5.1.1 Initial Response

operations. 2. Inform SSM and other agencies - Refer to Action cards. 3. Isolate leak source and blowback or drain lines. 4. Set up primary containment:

a. If line leak. On shore containment under leak & use of floating containment in water.

b. If ship leak. Containment on deck with spill trays/pumps & booms in water.

5. Alert tugs and deploy Agwi. 6. Deploy safety boats with absorbent boom. 7. Deploy water borne spotters - consider dispersal with vessels.

i.e. churning. 5.1.2 Secondary Response

1. Deploy fence booms: a. North &/or South Dolphin booms.

2. Anchor booms to release resource. 3. Utilise tug booms for corralling.

a. Set up fence booms with tugs. 4. Utilise adsorbent materials for recovery. 5. Utilise Agwi for recovery of contained oil. 6. Consider dispersant or churning for dealing with residual

sheen. 7. Set up secondary containment using localised adsorbent

booms. 8. Set up recovery systems:

a. Agwi b. Adsorbent devices - pompoms, bombs. c. Skimmers - OSR support.

8. Consider booming of sensitive inlets - Hamble, Titchfield Haven & Fawley Power Station.

9. Continue containment & recovery on advice from OSMT. 5.1.3 Tier 2 Response

1. OSR resource to be called in using the activation procedure in Section 15.6.

2. Once a Tier 2 release has been declared the Aerial Surveillance procedure (Section 15.7) is to be followed.

5.5 Marine Management Organisation (MMO)

DISPERSANT DEROGATION

Fawley Marine Terminal has derogation for the use of up to 150 gallons/680 litres of approved oil dispersant without prior approval from MMO in accordance with the procedures outlined in the ESSO FAWLEY MARINE TERMINAL OIL SPILL CONTINGENCY PLAN. (See Section 15 Appendices for copy of Standing Approval) Although Fawley has been given approval to use up to 150 gallons/680 litres of dispersant, it is imperative that the fact that it has been used is reported to MMO as soon as is practicably possible. Accurate records should be kept regarding the quantity of dispersant used and this should be reported to MMO upon close out of the incident response.



Guide to obtaining approval to use dispersants.

Dispersants The use of dispersants can be an effective method of combating oil spills. The

use of dispersants is strictly controlled and conditions are imposed on its use.

Approval from MMO must be sought prior to dispersant use; MMO will consider all the relevant implications associated with dispersant and formally approve any use unless that use is covered by the terms of a standing approval. MMO approval must also be sought if the dispersant is going to be used in larger quantities than the standing approval specifies.

Note: The use of dispersants if not totally successful, might affect the ability to

use other response strategies.

• In order to obtain approval a telephone call should be made to one of the MMO contacts listed on the Annex B (someone will be available to talk to you at all times). The MMO official who takes the call will require certain key items of information so that an informed decision can be taken on whether use of the product is appropriate. Annex C lists the types of information, which will be useful – as much as possible of this, should be provided. The MMO will then need to consult colleagues with fisheries and scientific expertise, and English Nature (EN) or the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), before he or she can confirm that approval has been given. If the spill is a small one at a location with no environmental fisheries sensitivities, approval may only take 20 minutes. For other spills approval will still normally be given within an hour. A formal record of the approval will then be sent as a fax to confirm MMO’s verbal agreement. If MMO decides not to approve the use of the product, the reasons for this will be explained and other option discussed.

• Once you have completed your response to the oil spill, MMO will require a report on any use of oil treatment products that has taken place, whether under the terms of a standing approval or otherwise. A sample for this purpose is at Annex D and can be included in your plan if you wish.

7.1 Introduction

7.2 Legislation

7.3 Site Hazards



7 Health and Safety Plan

7.1 Introduction

Full account must be taken of the health and safety requirements for all personnel involved in oil spill response activities. The Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (Section 7.3.19) lists site characteristics, site hazards and personal protective equipment and site facility needs. Refer also to ESSO Site Emergency Response Plan and Material Safety Data Sheets. This section is intended to act as an aide-memoir to ensure that all applicable health and safety requirements are considered and appropriate actions are taken.



7.2 Legislation 7.2.1 Employers Duties

The principal duty of an employer is that imposed by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The Act states, the employer is to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees and anyone else who may be affected by their business activities whilst at work.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 impose specific duties on employers to:

• carry out a risk assessment of their work activities in order to identify protective and preventative measures - significant findings must be recorded if there are five or more employees;

• make arrangements for the planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures. When there are five or more employees these arrangements must be recorded;

• provide employees with appropriate health surveillance, where this is shown to be necessary by risk assessment;

• appoint a competent person(s) to help ensure compliance with health and safety law;

• set up emergency procedures;

• only allow persons with sufficient health and safety instructions to have access to restricted areas;

• provide employees with comprehensive health and safety information relating to the details above;

• full co-operation with other employers sharing the workplace;

• provide the relevant health and safety information to any outside employer working within their premises, including relevant instruction and information;

• provide the relevant health and safety training to employees; and provide

all temporary workers with relevant information on health and safety requirements appropriate to their position within the company.



7.2.2 Employees Duties

All employees have a duty under The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and their colleagues at work who may be affected by their acts or omissions.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 employees have a duty to co-operate with their employer and colleagues enabling them to comply with statutory duties and requirements.

Additionally, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that employees must not intentionally or recklessly misuse any equipment and the like provided for them in the interests of health, safety or welfare.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, further oblige employees to:

• use any of the equipment etc, provided in the interests of safety;

• follow health and safety instructions;

• report any problem they consider to be a danger; and

• report any shortcomings in the protection arrangements for health and safety.



7.3 SITE HAZARDS

7.3.1 BIRD HANDLING

Handling of birds must be carried out by properly trained personnel to ensure the protection of both bird and handler. Wild birds have no understanding of human intentions. Even a greatly weakened bird can inflict serious injury to handlers, especially to human eyes. Open wounds on hands and arms from such injuries can present opportunities for oily contaminants and disease to enter the handler's blood system.

Bird Handling is usually best left to experts, or to volunteers who have had some training. It is easy to put the birds under more stress by chasing and man handling them.

If you see an oiled bird notify the Beach Master who will provide advice on what action to take. If a decision is taken to catch an oiled bird take the following actions:

Equipment: • Thick gloves (able to withstand nasty pecks)

• Overalls

• Safety footwear

• Cardboard Box with lid of a suitable size to give the bird some room for movement

• Goggles to protect eyes

• Optional long- handled net to help catch bird.

Procedures:

• Do not let the bird get close to your head, as it may try to peck your eyes.

• Catch the bird by hand or with the aid of a long-handled net. Do not put the birds under any more stress than necessary. Only attempt to capture the bird if it can be done quickly and efficiently.

• Hold the bird with both hands, holding the wings in.

• Put the bird in a cardboard box lined with absorbent material (e.g. newspaper), with a lid.

• Do not wrap the bird up in anything - it may get too hot and will cause additional stress.

• Take the bird to a cleaning station as soon as possible. Let them know where and when the bird was caught.

• Keep a note of all birds caught and sent to cleaning station. Make a note of species if possible.



7.3.2 BOAT SAFETY

Boat operators must familiarise themselves and passengers with safety features and equipment on their boats.

1. Qualified individuals must operate boats.

2. Personnel on boats must wear lifejackets, properly secured.

3. Use of cold water immersion suits is particularly critical under conditions

of cold stress.

4. Boats should generally not be used after sunset for oil recovery. If this is required or boat use poses minimal risk, areas of operation should be carefully prescribed. Individual boat operators should maintain a communication schedule with a shore base. Each boat should be fully equipped with appropriate navigation lights.

5. Boat operators must keep their supervisors informed on their area of

operation, especially when they change their work area (i.e. if plans call for a boat to move to another location during a shift, the operator should advise the supervisor of his actual time of departure).

6. Portable fuel tanks should be filled outside of the boat. All sources of

ignition in the area of refuelling should be isolated.

7. Personnel working in or operating boats should wear appropriate non-slip footwear.

8. Fixed ladders or other substantial access/egress should be provided at

boat transfer locations from low water line to platform.

9. Workers should be cautioned about using their arms or legs to fend off during berthing, or getting their hands, arms, or legs between vessels and docks or fixed structures.



7.3.3 CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Attach appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous substances likely to be used at a spill site.

7.3.4 COLD STRESS

Cold stress can occur among responders as a result of prolonged exposure to low environmental air temperatures or from immersion in low temperature water. It can lead to a number of adverse effects including:

• frostbite;

• chilblains; and

• hypothermia.

The single most important aspect of life-threatening hypothermia is a fall in the deep core temperature of the body.

Workers shall be provided with warm clothing, rest opportunities, exposure protection, and warm and/ or sweet fluids. Boat crew personnel need to wear immersion suits in the water where temperatures are below 15o, or the combined water and air temperature is less than 48o Celsius.

7.3.5 DRUM HANDLING / MANUAL HANDLING

Drum handling at a spill site primarily involves drums of waste and contaminated clothing. Several types of drums and containers may be used. These range from 25 to 200 litres in size. All drums and containers must be properly labelled.

If in doubt as to the contents of a drum - seek advice.

Manual lifting and movement of drums should be kept to a minimum. A guide to manual handling is as follows:

• Wear gloves.

• Assess the weight of the load and get help if it is beyond your capacity. Where appropriate use mechanical aids provided.

• Size up the job - remove any obstructions, note any snags and make sure there is a clear space where the load is to be set down. Ensure that you can see over the load whilst carrying it.

• Look out for any splinters, projecting nails, sharp edges or wire.

• Stand close to the object with your feet 20 to 30cm apart, place one-foot in advance of the other, pointing in the direction you intend to move.

• Hold your chin inwards - avoid moving your head backwards or forwards.

• Bend your knees to a crouch position, keeping your back straight.

• Get a firm grip at opposite corners of the load with the palm of the hand and the roots of the fingers. Arms should be as close to the body as possible.

• Lift with your thigh muscles and extend body/straighten your legs.

• Apply the above principles, to any movement such as pushing, pulling, digging, shovelling etc.

Use the reverse procedure when setting down the load.



7.3.6 EQUIPMENT OPERATIONS

• Heavy Equipment

• Operators of heavy equipment, such as front-end loaders, graders, and bulldozers must be trained and qualified in their safe operation.

• The operator and banksman must be familiar with agreed signalling techniques. Where appropriate, the banksman should use protective headgear.

• Buckets must not be used for personnel transport.

• Forklifts

• Only trained and authorised operators shall be allowed to operate forklifts.

• Only stable or safely arranged loads that do not exceed the capacity of the truck shall be handled.

• Operators are expected to carry out daily checks of the forklift to be operated. All inspection defects are to be corrected prior to its operation. If it cannot be rectified immediately, the truck should be taken out of service.

7.3.7 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• Electrical hazards shall be identified and marked with suitable placards, barricades, or warning tape as necessary.

7.3.8 FATIGUE

Working long hours without rest may be required, especially during the early phase of response. This coupled with the stress of the situation and wearing required PPE, can contribute to fatigue.

Symptoms include:

• loss of concentration; • errors in judgement; • irritability; • sleepiness; and

• soreness and stiffness in joints and muscles.

Rest and sleep are the primary treatments for fatigue. Stress can be addressed by relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, stretching and taking breaks.



7.3.9 FIRE and EXPLOSION

Flammable and combustible materials may be encountered at the spill site. These may be fuels for vehicles and equipment or the spilled material itself. However other chemicals may be used during the response. Refer to the container label and MSDS for more information on these materials.

Precautions should be taken when working with either flammables or combustibles:

• No smoking

• Store in approved, labelled containers

• Provide fire extinguishers in areas where these materials are used.

7.3.10 HEAT STRESS

Heat stress can result whilst responders perform heavy labour work in protective and/or impermeable clothing. This clothing does not breathe or allow for the normal dissipation of body heat.

Heat build-up can lead to a number of adverse health effects including, heat rash, heat cramps, dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

The incidence of heat stress is dependent on a number of factors such as temperature, humidity, a person's fitness, age, weight and clothing worn. Therefore supervisors should continually monitor their employees when workloads are heavy and temperatures and/or humidity are high.

Fluids shall be available at all times and personnel will be encouraged to drink these during rest periods. Shaded rest areas will be made available where feasible.

7.3.11 AIR MONITORING

7.3.11.1 Monitoring Plan

1. Air monitoring at the spill site and surrounding areas will be done to ensure site worker and community safety.

2. Air monitoring will be done during site characterisation, and on each work

shift during clean-up activities until results indicate no further monitoring is required.

3. All monitoring done at the clean-up site will be documented and the data

maintained by qualified personnel on site.

7.3.11.2 Initial Site Monitoring

1. Monitoring will be done during initial site entry.

This monitoring is to include checking for:

• Oxygen (O2) deficiency using a direct reading oxygen meter;

• flammable atmospheres (% Lower Explosive Limit [LEL]) using a combustible gas indicator;

• benzene, hydrogen sulphide and other gases as needed using direct reading instruments, indicator tubes or other accepted methods.

2. Competent personnel will carry out tests.

3. Instrument calibrations will be carried out prior to use.

4. All monitoring will be documented ( refer Attachment 1 for example)

7.3.11.3 On Going Monitoring

1. Monitoring for oxygen deficiency and flammable atmospheres will be made if confined spaces are encountered, or as required.

2. Monitoring for benzene, hydrogen sulphide or other identified gases will be

done at work shift start as needed.

Results of site monitoring will be made available to interested parties.



7.3.12 MOTOR VEHICLES

Drivers shall maintain a safe speed at all times, and shall not be allowed to operate vehicles in a reckless manner.

7.3.13 NOISE

Appropriate hearing protection shall be used in designated high noise areas where personnel noise exposure exceeds 85 dBA, time weighted average over an 8 hour work shift/period. Additionally, no person shall be exposed to greater than 115 dBA at any time without the use of appropriate hearing protection.

7.3.14 OVERHEAD AND BURIED UTILITIES

If work has to be carried out near overhead lines, consultation with the organisation that operates the supply system should be undertaken. A safe working distance from these overhead lines should be determined and the area cordoned off.

The estimated location of buried utilities such as sewer, telephone, fuel, electric or water should be predetermined before work begins. Utility companies or owners must be contacted, advised of the proposed work and informed of the urgency of the situation.

7.3.15 PUMPS AND HOSES

Pumps and hoses may be used at the spill site to apply water, steam or chemical for clean-up and/or decontamination. They may also be used for transfer of liquid waste. Caution should be used when working in these areas where hoses are being used as they represent a tripping hazard.

Additionally when using pumps and hoses determine their last contents to avoid unnecessary contamination.



7.3.16 SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS

Slips, trips and falls on oily surfaces are the major cause of injuries at an oil spill site. Many of these injuries occur in the first few minutes of work before workers are totally familiar with the conditions and before precautionary measures have been taken.

When entering a spill site, walk slowly and carefully in oil coated areas. Be especially careful when walking on oil covered rocks. Oil resistant safety footwear with non-slip soles should be worn.

It is best to clear an access/egress route than walk through oiled areas.

7.3.17 HELICOPTER OPERATIONS

Helicopter Operations may be in use at the spill site for:

• over flight surveillance; • site characterisation; • personnel/equipment transport; and • rescue/medical transport.

Safe working practices for passengers and other personnel include:

• Passengers must receive a safety briefing from the pilot prior to take-off. The briefing shall include, safety features and equipment location on the aircraft, helicopter underwater escape procedures when appropriate and emergency information.

• Passengers and ground crew should approach/depart from the FRONT of the helicopter only when signalled by the pilot and shall never walk under or around the tail rotor or exhaust.

• Loose fitting clothing, hats or other gear which might be caught in the rotor down wash, must be secured or removed within 100 feet of operating helicopters.

• Passengers shall wear seat belts at all times and personal flotation devices when flying over water.

• Passengers and ground crew shall wear hearing protection (which may include communication headsets) at all times around operating helicopters.

• During emergency landing on water, do not exit until instructed to do so by the pilot after rotor blades stop turning or pilot signals all clear, do not inflate personal flotation devices until outside of the helicopter.



7.3.18 LIFTING

Cranes must be operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and established construction practices. Only trained and authorised operators shall be allowed to operate cranes.

Outriggers must be fully extended to assure maximum stability of the equipment.

Cranes must only be operated where the ground provides adequate support.

Rigging components must be inspected daily. Only certified wire rope slings or web strops shall be used.

Each sling or strop must be clearly marked or tagged with its rated capacity and must not be used in excess of this rating.

Personnel should not be allowed under the jib or load except for the minimum time necessary to hook or unhook the load.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Contents

8.1 General

8.2 Temporary Storage

8.3 Disposal Methods

8.4 Disposal Sites

8.5 Waste Oil Recycling Plants



8. Waste Management Plan

Note: Most of this section has been re-produced from Hampshire County Council Coastal Oil and Chemical Pollution Plan.

8.1 General

Wherever possible, spilled oil should be recovered for recycling and re-use. However any shoreline clean-up operation is likely to result in amounts of oily waste far in excess of the original oil on the shoreline. For an oil spill not involving an oil company, the Harbour Authority may provide a bunded lay down area for temporary storage for drums and skips. In this event care must be taken not to mix different categories of waste

Responsibility for the arrangements to dispose of shoreline pollution wastes rests with the Hampshire County Council Waste Disposal Manager in consultation with the Environment Agency. The County Council’s waste disposal strategy is for small amounts of oily waste to be disposed of locally under existing arrangements made by Maritime Districts. Larger quantities will require Districts to consult both the Environment Agency and County Waste Disposal Manager. A set procedure has been agreed for the disposal of waste in emergency situations. An Emergency Management Team is established under the control of the County Council’s Chief Executive or Emergency Planning Officer. The County Council’s Chief Waste Disposal Officer and the Environment Agency would advise the Emergency Management Team on waste disposal matters. English Nature should be consulted over plans to dispose of or store oily waste to ensure that the local nature conservation sites are not affected. Details of waste disposal sites and contractors are given in section 8.4 The following types of waste can arise: • recovered crude oil (not heavily contaminated); • water in oil emulsion – untreated; • water in oil emulsion - treated with dispersant; • thick weathered oil – lumps; • semi-solid bunker oil; • oil and sand mixtures; • dry waste; • oiled shingle; and • heavily oiled seaweed and other debris.

In Tier One and Tier Two incidents which do not involve an oil company, any oil recovered from harbour waters will be transferred to one of the waste oil disposal/recycling contractors listed in section 8.5.



8.2 Temporary Storage

Clean-up activities may produce quantities of oil and oily debris at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. Therefore temporary storage will be necessary. Following is a summary of the methods that can be used:

Type of Oil/Waste

Storage Facility Comments

Liquid Barges Suitable for initial storage

Road Tankers Ideal for routing to final disposal site

Pits Must be lined with sand to protect essential heavy duty plastic liner

Bunds Cheaper than pits. Liners required

Liquid/solid mixture Pits As above

Bunds As above

Skips Versatile, robust and cheap

Oil Drums Difficult to handle when full

Plastic Containers Quick deployment. Useful for inaccessible areas

Heavy Duty Plastic Bags

Ideal for manual clean-up. Cheap, easy to deploy. Can create disposal problems.

Solids Hard standing Preferably sloping site with drainage

Lorries Restricted to solid debris. Access problems.



8.3 Disposal Methods 8.3.1 Recovery to Oil Processing Installations

Reprocessing is the preferred option. In general only pure oil and possibly oil/water mixtures will be acceptable. The contractor able to accept recovered oil for recycling or reprocessing is listed in section 8.5.

8.3.2 Landfill

This is the principle disposal method but can only be used where there is little or no ground water abstraction. Future regulations are likely to be more restrictive. Landfill sites and contact details are given in section 8.4

8.3.3 Stabilisation

This is an expensive method but is likely to be used increasingly as landfill becomes further restricted.

8.3.4 Land Farming

This can only make a limited contribution to oil spill disposal and is becoming less acceptable. However it may be suitable for small quantities of oily waste such as contaminated seaweed.

8.3.5 Combustion

Uncontrolled combustion is unsatisfactory because of air pollution. Commercial waste incinerators can dispose of limited quantities of oily waste. The following commercial incinerator is located within the port area: Veolia Environmental Services (see 8.5)

8.3.6 On-site Bio-Pile

Where possible the Fawley Refinery Bio-Pile should be used as a first resort. It is suitable for oil contaminated soil/sand and sedge.

11.6 Environmental Risk



11. Risk Assessment 11.1 Introduction

The Fawley Marine Terminal is located in Southampton Water within the harbour limits of Southampton Port Authority. It is the largest independently owned marine terminal in Europe, handling approximately 2000 vessels annually. The terminal handles a full range of products from L.P.G to bitumen on its nine berths. These are split into five ocean berths and four coastal berths to accommodate anything from a bunker barge to a 400,000 dwt tanker. The product is piped to the storage tanks, refined and either pumped out through a pipeline to Heathrow or reloaded onto vessels through the 50 miles of over water pipelines. Pumping rates vary significantly dependant on the product. Most of the risks associated with this type of operation are already assessed and mitigated for, as described later.



11.2 Specific Risk Areas that may Cause a Pollution Incident 11.2.1 Loading arm failure due to vessel movement.

The vessel will move vertically to a greater or lesser degree whilst loading and unloading operations are taking place. At this time it is possible that some stress may be put on the loading arms with a risk of failure. The amount of oil that may escape, particularly at high pumping rates would be significant. These movements are monitored in the FMT control room by means of drift alarms, hook alarms and cameras.

11.2.2 Loading arm failure due to tidal movement and wind drift.

The vessel will move depending on the tide. This may cause tension to come on the arms. A similar situation may arise if the wind pushes the vessel off the jetty. Similar to 11.2.1., these situations are mitigated against by the use of the alarm systems, cameras and vigilance boxes. If in the event of communications breakdown, the vigilance box can be used as a means of communication back to the control room. The box also has the facility to shut down a loading operation to the ship from on board. This may however take between 20 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the product.

11.2.3 Pipeline seal, weld or valve failure.

This is the most likely chance of an oil spill occurring. With over 100 miles of over ground pipework, the chances of a seal or joint failure must make this one of the highest risks, albeit very small. Cameras on the jetty are able to monitor the ships manifolds and shore pipework to a very close range, and, coupled with the watchman; any spill would be noticed very quickly and shut down.

11.2.4 Vessel colliding with jetty. This is a real risk in any vessel movements, and could result in significant oil loss. It is improbable with at least two tugs connected to the vessel 11.2.5 Collision underway.

It is possible that a vessel may be at risk of collision in the confines of Southampton Water, due to either mechanical malfunction or other vessel traffic. The Solent is heavily used by both leisure and commercial traffic and in particular ferries at all times of year. If the vessels are not regular visitors to the terminal, they will be inspected prior to arrival. The risk of collisions is minimised by the Vessel Traffic System in Southampton Water and the fact that any vessels over 60,000 dwt are escorted with two tugs attached from Nab Point using a small number of choice pilots



11.2.6 Bunker barge incident

The risks from bunkering from a barge can come from the vessel coming alongside and from the transfer operation. The risk from the barge puncturing the hull plate is minimal, and in any case the wing tanks would probably be empty or in ballast when bunkering operations were taking place. The major risk, albeit small, comes from a leak or hose burst during the transfer. This operation should be monitored at all times, and as the pump rates are relatively slow and the shut down time fast, the risk of a significant spill is minimal. Any spillage on the deck of the tanker due to bunker tanks overflowing should be contained on deck as the scupper bung will be in place. The Marine Superintendent will check the vessels before any transfer operation starts.

11.2.7 Ship cargo overflow / Slop Tank overflow

The cargo is monitored by the use of cameras and watchmen as far as the manifolds. Most modern ships have tank stress computers and as such the loading operation is closely monitored at all times. Any small spills are only likely to happen when the vessel is ‘topping off’. When this is going on, flow rates are lower and consequently the magnitude of the potential oil loss is significantly reduced.

11.2.8 Non Specific Spills

It is feasible with any vessel that there may be small spills associated with other shipboard operations. These may emanate from transfer operations within the engine room (Lube Oil and Fuel, bilges and drum storage on deck). It would not be the norm for these operations to take place during vessel loading/discharge and as such the risks would be small. Minor risks are associated with ships side valves leaking. The risks of this happening are small and would be noticed quickly during the day by the sheen.



11.2.9 Tug Impact There are well-documented incidents where cargo or bunker oil has been released as a result of hull impact damage by tugs. This can occur when tugs are approaching a vessel underway prior to berthing, or when coming alongside a moored vessel prior to unberthing. The potential spill quantities again depend on the location and extent of the impact damage but can be over 500 tonnes for bunker oil and 2,000 tonnes for cargo oil. During the 18-year period 1987 to 2005, there have been 5 recorded incidents of tugs landing heavily during their final approach alongside vessels. Only one incident resulted in hull plating damage to a tanker but without the release of cargo oil. Spills from this cause are considered to be of low likelihood but the risk is acknowledged.



11.3 Fate of Spilled Oil - General

When considering the fate of oil on water a distinction is frequently made between non-persistent oils, which tend to dissipate rapidly from the seas surface and persistent oils, which do not. Non persistent oils are commonly referred to as white oils and have an API > 45. Persistent oils are commonly referred to as black oils and have an API < 45. The physical and chemical changes which spilled oil undergoes are collectively known as ‘weathering’ (figure 11.1). Knowledge of these processes and how they interact to alter the nature and composition of the oil with time is valuable in preparing and implementing this contingency plan for effective oil spill response.

11.4 Oil Spill Quantification

Estimating the initial release volume of an oil spillage is notoriously difficult to establish, unless accurate information regarding flow rates, exact time of spillage and duration of spillage are all known.

The simplest method of quantifying on water oil slicks is by visual appearance. The colour of the oil slick gives an indication of the thickness and type of oil. However, it should be borne in mind that oil slicks do not spread uniformly and as such, the estimate of oil remaining at sea is open to potentially large errors.

Oil Spill Quantification Table.

Colour Oil Type Thickness (mm) Volume (m3/km2)

Silvery Light Sheen 0.0001 0.1

Iridescent Sheen 0.0005 0.5

Light Brown Thick Sheen / FO 0.001 1

Brown Fuel Oil / Crude Oil 0.01 10

Black Crude Oil 0.1 100

Orange Emulsion (Mousse) 1.0 1000



11.5 Oil Spill Movement Spilled oil on water moves as a function of the current and wind. The current has a

100% effect on the speed and direction of an oil slicks movement, for example, if the

current heads north at 3 knots, then the oil slick will travel north at a rate of 3 knots.

Wind, on the other hand, has only a 3% influence on the movement of the oil slick.

This is shown in the following diagram.

100%current

3% wind

Figure 11.2 - Movement of Oil on Water

In order to predict the movement of oil and the areas of coastline most likely to be impacted by an oil spill, consideration was given to using fate trajectory modeling. However, due to the complex tidal regime in Southampton Water and the Solent and the close proximity to shore, the model results would be essentially inaccurate and of limited benefit. There have been several oil spills from the FMT jetty in the past few years, with oil often impacting Calshot Spit and the Calshot Saltmarshes, or carried across Southampton Water to the River Hamble by a combination of strong south-westerly (prevailing) wind and a flood tide. In these circumstances migration of oil to the River Hamble is highly probable. Oil being carried northwards to the River Test or River Itchen during previous spills is rare, but in one incident oil reached Eling Creek.



11.6 Environmental Risk

This section contains Environmental Sensitivity information, which is appropriate to the areas which lie within, or immediately adjacent to the Fawley Marine Terminal. Priority protection areas have been identified and it has been recognised that not all sensitive areas may be capable of protection in a large oil spill incident. The information given in this section should be used in conjunction with the Response Guidelines included in section 5.

11.6.1 Priority Sensitive Areas

The priority sensitive areas for Southampton Water, River Test, River Itchen and River Hamble have been divided into groups:

Group A – identified as sensitive because of the habitat types or species found at each site. These designated areas should receive priority protection. ‘A’ priority habitats are saltmarshes, sheltered tidal flats and sheltered rock coasts. Although all ‘A’ priority require priority protection, it may be necessary to have a further breakdown of ‘A’ sites in case all such areas cannot be protected and choices have to be made. ‘A’ sites have therefore been divided into A1, A2 and A3 categories. Division into these three categories has been made on the basis of the presence of nationally or locally important sites for bird concentrations, botanical species, important sites for mariculture and major water intakes.

11.6.2 ‘A’ Priority Sensitive Areas

A1 A2 A3 Saltmarshes, sheltered

tidal flats and eel grass

beds of national

importance

Saltmarshes, sheltered tidal flats of national or local importance for bird populations

Sites for commercial mariculture Water intakes Sheltered rocky shore of national biological conservation importance

Areas of saltmarsh of local conservation importance Sheltered tidal flats

11.6.4 Priority Protection Areas

Establishing priorities for protection of areas of the coastal zone of Southampton Water, River Itchen, River Hamble and Test has been based o the principle of greatest net environmental benefit by assessing, in conjunction with the following key parameters:

• Environmental sensitivity;

• Areas where oil concentration is likely to have long term effects; and

• Areas where clean up options are most restricted (meaning that prevention and therefore, priority protection, will be the primary means to minimise pollution effects).

Shoreline Type Comments

Exposed rocky headlands Rocky headlands provide a hard high angle, substrate colonised by communities that are horizontally zoned according to the times that each area is exposed during the tidal cycle. Rocky headlands are amongst the highest energy coastal habitats.

Eroding wave – cut platforms / intertidal and sub tidal rocky shores

These are horizontal hard substrate environments, usually exposed to vigorous wave and tidal action. Characteristic communities can be found in bands according to exposure to tidal fluctuations.

Fine – grained beaches Fine-grained sandy beaches usually have a flat profile and are hard packed. Sandy shores may support few flora and fauna.

Coarse – grained sand beaches These beaches have a steeper profile than fine-grained beaches and are present in a variety of coastal environments, varying from low to higher energy. Biological productivity is generally low.

Exposed compacted tidal flats These are compacted, fine-grained mud or sand flats that are relatively exposed to winds, waves and currents.

Mixed sand and gravel beaches These beaches are usually located in moderate to high-energy environments. The biological community is usually limited due to the instability of the environment.



Shoreline Type Comments Gravel beaches These are beaches comprising cobble-sized

sediments (>2mm). Biological activity is usually limited to the sub littoral zone but can be extensive and diverse.

Sheltered rocky coasts These are protected coves and embayment’s with typically rough surfaces and tidal pools. The resident biological community is extensive, varied and vulnerable to oil spill damage.

Sheltered tidal flats Areas of great biological activity and low wave energy. A number of interpretations of ‘biological activity’ are possible. In this case, it is taken to mean a combination of high productivity, biomass and possible bioturbation.

Salt marshes High productive aquatic environments. Low energy muddy shores that are not completely submerged at high tide and drained by an intricate creek system. Support a rich plant as well as animal and bird life.

The length of recovery time from pollution effects and susceptibility to adverse impact from clean-up operations are bound up with two key variables:

• The energy level of the shoreline (essentially the degree of exposure to wave energy); and

• The substratum type.

On exposed rocky shores effects on shore life tend to be minimal and recovery rates rapid. Oil does not stick easily to such shores and if it does it tends to be quickly cleaned off by vigorous wave action. With increasing shelter the likelihood of persistence increases as does the biomass to trap the oil. The most sheltered shores tend to be the sedimentary mud flats and saltmarshes. Such areas have a high biological productivity, are also the worst oil traps and are amongst the most susceptible to damage by beach clean-up methods. In estuarine areas, oil pollution damage will thus be most pronounced in the sheltered estuarine bays, inlets and creeks.

Combining energy levels, substratum types and sensitivity, it is possible to derive shoreline protection and clean-up methods, ordered according to sensitivity and requirement for protection as a priority over clean-up. This has been done and the results are illustrated in the following table. The table presents a sequence from exposed rocky headlands where active shoreline protection and beach clean-up are likely to be needed through to sheltered tidal flats and saltmarshes where the priority is for protection and avoidance of clean-up.



11.6.5 Shoreline Protection and Clean-up Methods for Habitats of Increasing Vulnerability

Shoreline Type Comments

Exposed rocky headlands Wave reflection keeps most oil offshore; active shoreline protection and beach clean-up unnecessary

Eroding wave – cut platforms / intertidal and sub tidal rocky shores

Shoreline protection is unlikely to be necessary. Most oil removed by natural processes within weeks.

Fine – grained beaches Oil does not penetrate into the sediment, facilitating mechanical removal if necessary. Otherwise oil will persist for several months.

Coarse – grained sand beaches Oil may sink and / or be buried rapidly, making clean up difficult. Under moderate to high-energy conditions, oil will be removed naturally.

Exposed compacted tidal flats Recovery of sand / mud flats may be facilitated by near shore releases of dispersants. Most oil will not adhere to, nor penetrate into, the compacted tidal flat. Clean up is usually unnecessary.

Mixed sand and gravel beaches Dispersant in near shore areas may be an effective protection mechanism. Manual removal if heavily oiled.

Gravel beaches Natural clean-up or physical collections are probably the best options.



Shoreline Type Comments Sheltered rocky coasts Protection / diversionary booming. Areas

of reduced wave action. Oil may persist for many years. Clean up is not recommended unless oil concentrations are very heavy.

Sheltered tidal flats Protection / diversionary booming. Clean up is not recommended unless oil accumulation is very heavy; bioremediation techniques could be considered.

Salt marshes Protection options: Protection / diversionary booming. Avoid dispersants. If oil enters marshes: containment and recovery in creeks; absorbents.

13. Roles and Responsibilities



13.1 HARBOUR AUTHORITY

The Harbour Authority is responsible for the Conservancy of its area together with the Safety of Navigation, Pilotage and movement of all vessels. Its powers are derived from Principal and Local Harbour Acts and are exercised through Bye-Laws and Harbour Master’s Directions. It has a responsibility for responding to Oil Pollution within its area under the Merchant Shipping (Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co–Operation Convention) Regulations 1998 which came into force on 15 May 1998 (SI 1998 N0. 1056 with amendment issued 11 June 2001 No 1639)

3. - (1) of the Regulations states “ In their application to harbours and oil

handling facilities - these Regulations apply to : (a) Any harbour for which there is a statutory harbour authority having an

annual turnover, as defined in the schedule in the regulations, of more than £1 million.

4. - (1) states “ Every -

(a) harbour authority of a harbour to which these regulations apply :

Shall have an oil pollution emergency plan in accordance with the regulations.

There may be joint plans between the harbour authority and the operators of oil handling facilities within an area.

A Harbour Authority must submit an oil pollution emergency plan for its harbour(s), within 15 months of the regulation coming into force, to the Maritime & Coastguard agency for approval. In preparing an oil pollution emergency plan a harbour authority or shall take into account any guidance issued by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency. The Statutory Harbour Authority has a responsibility under Section 133 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 for bringing prosecutions for the offences of discharge of oil, or a mixture containing oil, into the waters of the harbour. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/21/section/133

13.2 LOCAL AUTHORITY 13.2.1 District Council

The New Forest District Council has accepted a non-statutory responsibility for dealing with oil on the shoreline and beaches down to the low water line, within the limit of their resources.



13.2.2 County Councils Hampshire County Council assumes responsibility for co-ordinating the local authority action in the event of widespread pollution affecting more than one district. The County Council is also available to assist with oil on beaches in terms of providing districts with additional resources for clean-up activities. District Councils remain responsible for physical clearance in respective areas of jurisdiction.

13.3 MARITIME AND COASTGUARD AGENCY

The Maritime & Coastguard Agency, an executive agency of the Department for Transport, Local Government and the regions (DTLR) which includes HM Coastguard (HMCG), discharges DTLR’s responsibility for both the co-ordination of civil maritime Search and Rescue and counter-pollution operations in UK waters.

For an oil spill incident which calls for a Tier 3 response, the National

Contingency Plan (NCP) may be implemented. In this event, and after the formal transfer of responsibility, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency will take control of at-sea counter pollution measures from their Marine Response Centre (MRC); the Port’s oil spill response resources and facilities will be made available to MCA. A Shoreline Response Centre (SRC) may be established and exercise overall co-ordination of the shoreline clean-up in accordance with the procedures and guidance in the NCP.

13.4 MARINE MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION

MMO plays a major role in the protection of the marine environment, particularly in respect of fisheries and in ensuring the safety of the aquatic food chain, including safety of consumers of fish and shellfish. MMO is the statutory authority for approving deposits in the sea. Under the terms of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 and the Deposits in the Sea (Exemptions) Order 1985, it is a legal requirement that oil treatment products may only be used in English and Welsh waters if they have been formally approved for this purpose by MMO. In addition, specific permission from MMO must be obtained before any such products are used in shallow water - these are defined as any area of the sea which is less than 20m deep, or within one nautical mile of such an area. This includes any use in tidal docks and locks and on beaches, shorelines, or structures such as piers and breakwaters. In the event of an oil spill, they would provide authorisation and advice regarding the use of dispersants. Although MMO gives certain locations a derogation to spray up to 150 gallons of dispersants, MMO would wish to be consulted if use of dispersants was anticipated.



13.5 NATURAL ENGLAND

English Nature is the body responsible for advising Government on nature conservation in England. At the time of an oil pollution incident, English Nature is responsible for providing advice on how best to treat oil in the interests of threatened wildlife and habitats.

13.6 THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY

The Environment Agency is a non-departmental public body with statutory duties and powers in relation to water resources, pollution control, flood defence, fisheries, recreation, conservation and navigation in England and Wales. Under the Water Resources Act, 1981, the Environmental Protection Act, 1990 and the Environment Act 1995, the Environment Agency is responsible for the control of pollution and water quality in all controlled waters which include groundwater’s, fresh waters, estuaries and relevant territorial waters (these extend 3 miles seaward from specific baselines).

13.7 OIL SPILL MANAGEMENT TEAM

Oil Spill Management Team (OMT) is the nomenclature used to describe the command and control team established for a spill incident within the ESSO Fawley Terminal, with representatives of organisations attending in accordance with the category of oil spill response established, as described in Section 2.2. The OMT will convene at the ESSO Fawley Marine Terminal Control Room, or the Southampton VTS Marine Response Centre, and will consist of a Management Team and a Support Team as noted in section 2.2. Refer to Section 2 Figure 2.1 showing the layout of the Esso Fawley Marine Terminal Control Room.

13.8 SHORELINE RESPONSE CENTRE (SRC)

Shoreline Response Centre (SRC) is a nationally accepted term and will only be established by agreement between Local Authorities and Central Government (MCA). Control of the onshore clean-up would at all times remain with the Local Authority and the SRC’s prime purpose would be to co-ordinate the clean-up and provide easier access to government beach- cleaning equipment stockpiles and shore counter-pollution experts.

13.9 SALVAGE AND CONTROL UNIT (SCU)

In the event of a shipping casualty, the Secretary of State’s Representative (SOSPEP) will decide whether the appointed Salvor has the capability to carry out the necessary salvage actions, in terms of experience, personnel and material. He also decides whether is necessary set up a Salvage and Control Unit (SCU).



The members of the SCU will include: SOSREP; the Salvage Manager from the appointed salvage company; Harbour Master if in harbour or its services; a single representative appointed by agreement between the ship owner and the insurers; a PCPSO; an Environment Liaison Officer nominated by the chair of the Environment Group; and if SOSREP decides to appoint one, SOSREP’s personal salvage advisor.

13.10 ESSO FAWLEY MARINE TERMINAL

Esso Petroleum, Fawley are responsible for the initial response to all oil pollution emanating from ships alongside the Fawley Marine Terminal jetty or from refinery property.

The company will maintain sufficient stocks of oil spill equipment to enable a fast and positive response to all pollution incidents. Such equipment will be maintained in good condition.

Esso aim to manage Tier1 incidents without the need for external assistance, but will liaise with external parties and continue to mitigate the effects of such a spill until officially advised that the management of the spill is to be handled by an authorised body.

Should such an incident escalate to a Tier 2, Esso will offer assistance to the Competent Harbour Authority as per the Associated British Ports Oil Spill Response Plan.

Esso retain the right to activate the Tier 2 Contractor response team - Oil Spill Response (OSR).

OSR Fawley Response Assets

As stated previously the opportunity to have 50% of what we have would be an option should a major spill occur, this does include our stockpile of sorbent boom should it be required, and in fact as the material is a consumable, we would make all of our stock available to Fawley. Also given is a detailed list of some of the loads and equipment that we could provide to the terminal, depending on the type/location of spill that is occurring. Regarding the nature of response that could be expected from OSR depending, on the spill situation at the time, Fawley Marine Terminal could potentially expect 1 offshore deployment team, with 2-3 shoreline loads being established within 24 hours on areas of surrounding shoreline, e.g. Lepe Beach, Hamble, Calshot etc. Each of the OSR teams would mobilise the appropriate equipment from the loads or equipment stockpile below. This response would then increase in capability as time moves into a 36-48hour period, with the potential of mobilising another offshore deployment through a vessel of opportunity (Williams Shipping), and several more shoreline sites being established. Offshore Scenario; Support Vessels Available:

• Earl 2 (20m Catamaran vessel), can be equipped with a variety of response equipment depending on the nature of the spill.

• Peter David (12m Displacement vessel), work boat which can assist with boom deployment.

• 3x Inflatable boats. • 1x Rigid Inflatable Boat. • Load 7 - Egmopol Recovery Barge (A self-propelled barge designed for the

recovery of medium to heavy oil pollution in harbours, coastal areas).
