The OPRC-HNS ProtocolExtension of the OPRC 1990 ConventionObligations imposed by the ratification of the protocol:Obligations imposed by the ratification of the protocol:

Development of the national system and the second in turn focuses in particular on the preparation of a national contingency plan

Ships flying the flag of a Party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol should carry a pollution emergency plan to deal specifically with incidents involving hazardous and noxious substances, such as chemicals

The OPRC-HNS ProtocolThe OPRC-HNS Protocol entered into force on 14 June 2007 and has 19 Parties to date:on 14 June 2007 and has 19 Parties to date:

Ship Plan for HNS

It is in principle necessary, (article 3 of the OPRC HNS Protocol) for the ship registered OPRC-HNS Protocol), for the ship registered under the flag of a State that is party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol or visiting a State that is party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol to have onboard:

a “Pollution Incident Emergency Plan” (PIEP) and necessary reporting procedures

Ship Plan for HNS

Regulation 16 of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 every ship of 150 GT and above shall carry every ship of 150 GT and above shall carry on board:a Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan (SMPEP) for Noxious Liquid Substances approved by the Administration

Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 requires that every Oil Tanker 150GT and above to carry:a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) approved by the Administration

National Contingency Plan for HNS

Necessary Requirement BUT not sufficient

Should contain full information at National Level on procedures, responsibilities, implications, structure, cooperation and expertise (including international)

Similar to a National Oil Spill Contingency Plan in the structure but not fulfilling the similar in the structure but not fulfilling the similar outcomes: HNS can develop quickly

Need to be well complemented and resourced at lower level with teams having the expertise and the authority to react promptly

Port or Terminal Plans

Incidents are usually better dealt with in Incidents are usually better dealt with in sheltered waters within the area of a port or terminal (almost never offshore)

Vital link between the PIEP and the NCPbut not an OPRC-HNS obligation

Allows prompt response and can be backed-up accordingly if required
