Common Emergency Management System
Utilising the Incident Command System (ICS) when managing an incident has asignificant positive impact on the incident management process as it ensure useof:• Common Terminology,• Integrated Communications,• A structured Planning Process,• A single Incident Action Plan and• Comprehensive Resource Management.
Using ICS across the all ADNOC Group Companies also ensures that qualified
ICS personnel can be requested from other OPCO's should a Facility face aprolonged incident that spans over several weeks.

Proposed Intermediate Condition• 6 dedicated on site vessels strategically located with oil detection
systems installed. Vessels operated by OPCO’s• 6 back up systems located with SPC CMT stockpiles and changedout with in place systems to ensure appropriate maintenanceundertaken.
• 500,000litres stockpiled dispersant. This figure is for 3 days ofdispersant application with 12 boats and 2 days of aerial dispersing• Trained crews for dispersant application.
• Trained coordinators for vessel organization and support• Dedicated response option for aerial support operations

Final Outcome
Time Frame 2-3 Years• 1 unified stockpile of dispersant to allow easy testing and usage
monitoring. Stockpile split between offshore and onshore locations
to allow rapid access and disbursement• 3 high speed dedicated response vessels with 24hr oil spill detection
and monitoring equipment• 6 In field back up / support vessels• Aerial response support package• Spray units fully maintained – 12 of• Trained teams – 2 teams per field unit minimum• Coordinated Dispersant response plan
• Predetermined logistics support plan
• Full training program for responders and coordinators• Communication plan in place• Surveillance and monitoring plan in place

Continuous Development Program
Manpower Development• Increased Manpower Resources– Currently employing an experienced Salvage Team Leader plus
30 staff (divers, welders, mariners etc)
– Have established an Environment Team experienced in restorationand monitoring of mangroves, corals, sea grasses etc– Recruiting additional 50 oil spill specialists

Note: This will give a total of approximately 150 trained staff
available for oil spill response operations from SPC within
next three months. In addition access to trained staff within
OPCO’s.

for oil spill operations and 2 offshore “ambulances” equipped for
medivac purposes)– 12 escort tugs currently on order to be built - all will have own oil spill
response capability– Purchasing oil containment barges/ tankers (approx 3500dwt/ 6500dwt) for handling slops and as storage for recovered oil in case of oilspill– Landing craft for shoreline response operations– Crane barge

SUMMARY CONCEPT OF OPERATIONSResources in place to:••••••••

Provide immediate support to an impacted OPCO from ADNOC “stateof the art” Crisis Centre
Provide salvage expertise and resources for stricken vessels
Respond quickly to provide immediate medical attention to casualties
with fast fully equipped “floating ambulances”
Assess environmental implications/ impact and habitat recovery
Respond quickly throughout area of operations with strategicallylocated fast fully equipped oil spill response vessels with advanced
technology high capacity recovery systems
Store large amounts of recovered oil
Protect areas at risk from impact using shoreline response systems
In major event to mobilise external resources through Tier 3 service
