Spills resulting from casualties
This section should contain ship-specific and company-specific information
concerning actions to be taken to address, as a minimum, the following casualty
scenarios: grounding, fire/explosion, collision (with fixed or moving object), hull
failure, excessive list, containment system failure, submerged/foundered,
wrecked/stranded, hazardous vapour release (see section
2.5.2.2 of the Guidelines). This section should also provide guidance on
priority actions to be taken (see Section
2.5 of the Guidelines). Consideration should be given to providing some of the
necessary information in the form of checklists/flowcharts where considered applicable.
An example of presentation of information relating to response activities and personnel
responsibilities is given in table 2 below:
