HOW CLEAN IS CLEAN?

Modern Day Spill Response
What has changed? What is in place now?
• General preparedness & response capabilities have increased

International Convention on Oil Pollution
Preparedness, Response and Cooperation
OPRC 1990• Legal frameworks in place• Defined roles & responsibilities• Comprehensive, realistic contingency plans• Risk assessment (most likely / worst scenarios)• Appropriate equipment (maintained)• Tiered response• Regional agreements• Trained & exercised• Government & Industry partnerships• Lessons Learned

Ratified by 103 States[20 Jan 2016]

Modern Day Spill Response
What has changed? What is in place now?
• International Convention & legislation to ensure good practice• Response strategies – largely unchanged– C&R, dispersant use, protective booming, shoreline clean up• Continued incremental improvements– 4th generation dispersants – ever evolving– Remote sensing – satellite and airborne devices• A lot achieved. Room for improvement– Not global preparedness. Need to maintain and improve.

• Budgetary cycles - Improvements and erosions – crisis drive[20 Jan 2016]

ITOPF R&D AWARD• To improve knowledge and understanding of issues related toaccidental marine pollution• To provide up to £50,000 to fund R&D projects that are original,
innovative and relevant to shipping & the environment• Deadline for 2018 ITOPF R&D Award: 31st December 2017(see www.itopf.com)
