1. Oil Spill Management Plan for National Waterway-1 and Haldia Terminal Strategy

1.1. Introduction

IWAI has initiated the project of “Capacity Augmentation of National Waterway-1” between

Haldia and Allahabad named as “Jal Marg Vikas Project” which includes additional

infrastructural components such as river terminals of appropriate cargo handling capacity,

provision of navigation aids; river information system; RO-RO jetties; bank protection / slope

protection works; river training works; inland vessels; survey vessels, survey equipment and

dredging facilities. One of Terminal is proposed to be located at Haldia. Haldia terminal at

River Hooghly (NW-1) proposed to be located at Haldia industrial area, near Durgachawk,

Haldia, District Purbi Medinipur, West Bengal. Geographical coordinates of the centre of site

are 22°03'38.34"N & 88°08’29.49"E. River Hooghly flows in South direction of the terminal

site. Total area of terminal site is 61.0 acres. The identified land belongs to Haldia Dock

Complex. Terminal facility is designed to handle 3.18 MTPA of cargo. These materials will

be stored, loaded, unloaded and transported from the terminal site. Facilities to be

developed at terminal site include both onshore and off-shore facilities. Onshore facilities

include 16 nos. of silos for fly ash storage, stockyards for stone aggregates, fertilizers &

edible oil/POL, internal roads, administration building, worker’s amenity building, lighting

tower, power supply system, fire-fighting system, sewerage system, storm water

management system, waste management system and green belt (3 acres). Off-shore

facilities include 4 nos. of berths & approach trestles and water approach channel.

* quantities are tentative and subject to change with revision in planning

Location map of NW-1 and Haldia Terminal is given in Annexure 1.1

1.2. Risk Assessment

Oil spill Management plan of National waterway-1 covers the planning for handling of the

potential off-shore and onshore emergencies and oil spillage accidents during operation

phase of waterway & Haldia Terminal. Potential emergencies anticipated during operation

phase are given below

1. Spillage of oil while handling at terminal

2. Grounding & sinking of vessels

3. Collision of vessels with other cargo vessel

4. Collision of vessel with country boat carrying cargo

5. Collision of vessel with ferry boat carrying passengers

6. Collision of vessel with small country crafts

7. Hitting of vessel with river/canal bank

8. Hitting of vessels on shore structure/cross structures like bridges, HT line towers etc

9. Fire hazard

10. Spillage of oil in waterway due to mishandling of oil tanks while loading & unloading,

accident/collision of vessels, damage of tank during grounding of vessels, leakage of

fuel tank/bilge tank.

11. Terrorist attack

12. Natural calamity like earthquake, tsunami, heavy floods, etc.

Disaster which may arise due to oil spillage is not anticipated to be of high risk and large

magnitude as the transportation of POL/edible oil is only involved at Haldia terminal site and

the quantity to be transported is 0.11 Million MTPA and if happens will be of tier 1 type, i.e.

spillage of oil less than 700 MT1. No spillages is anticipated from Terminal. Whatever may

will of smaller magnitude.

1.2.1. Type of Oil which can be spilled & Characteristics

Edible oil & POL will be stored, loaded, unloaded at terminal and during handling and

transportation transported through waterway, which can be spilled in the river. Apart from

this fuel oil/residual from barges can be spilled in the River in case of above mentioned

emergencies. Characteristics of the oils are given below

Table 1.2 : Characteristics of Oil

1 Oil spills are classified as tier 1, 2 & 3 depending on the quantity of oil spilled

Tier 1- oil spill up to 700 MT;

Tier 2- oil spill up to 10,000 MT; and

Tier 3- oil spill of more than 10,000 MT

1.2.2. Probable fate of spilled oil

When oil leaks, it reaches the surface of the waterway with almost all its high fractions. When

oil is blown out in air, its light fractions evaporate instantaneously and, when it reaches the

surface of the river, it spreads with no further evaporation. After two hours of exposure

evaporation does not increases significantly. Fate of the spilled oil at river may be as under,

depending upon river/ weather conditions:

a Evaporation: Evaporation from an oil spill would result in loss of about 50 - 55% of POL.

The rate of evaporation will increase due to wind velocity, river currents and ambient

temperature of river. Volume of oil remaining after evaporation is as follows: -

- During SW Monsoon : 50%

- During Jan - March : 55%

- Other Months : 52%

b Emulsification: The un-evaporated POL/edible oil would form water-in-oil emulsion

which is fairly stable due to high wax content and asphaltenes. There will be quantum

increase in volume of remaining spilled oil to the order of approximately 3 times in the

emulsification process. The emulsion is fluid enough to thoroughly coat shoreline yet

viscous enough to substantially retard evaporation.

c Dispersion: Under the process, oil breaks up into droplets small enough to remain in

suspension in the water column. The process would set in about 8 - 10 hours after the

spill occurs.

Annexure 8 : Policies & responsibilities on spill management of West Bengal : as extracted from Oil Spill Contingency Plan of West Bengal

A. Jurisdictional Boundaries and Local Notifications

The entire coast of West Bengal starts from Medinipur District on the West to the South 24

Parganas district on the East for a total distance of 264 Kms of shorelines of West Bengal.

The respective Coastal District administrators will be the lead agency for coordinating the

shoreline response with other agencies and the polluter within their area of coastal district

jurisdiction. The District administrator will be assisted by the sub-divisional officer, block

development officer and coastal village officials. The details of coastal districts of West

Bengal are as follows:-

S. No. Name of Coastal

District

Length of Coastline in

Km/Sensitive Areas

(Approx. length only, exact

length to be

verified from the State govt.

authorities)

Remark

(a) East Medinipur 80 Kms The concerned District

to IWAI project in Haldia

Area

(b) South 24

Parganas

120 kms

(c) North 24

Parganas

60 kms

B. Reporting and Communication

Any sighting of oil spill near shore or shoreline areas is to be intimated to the local Coast

Guard office if located within the District limits or to the Commander, Coast Guard (West

Bengal) at Haldia and to the respective District Collector. The responsible District Collector

will in-turn intimate all concerned agencies and other stake-holders in the area. The Coast

Guard shall take measures to identify the polluter through aerial search and through other

means. The Coast Guard is to be requested by the lead agency to provide aerial

assessment to find the extent of spill and classify them, so that appropriate types of tiered

response can be undertaken.

C. Organization for Response

Primarily the response for shoreline protection lies with the Environment Ministry of the

Government of West Bengal. The Ministry shall be assisted by the concerned District

Collectors as lead agency. However, the lead agency cannot address the shoreline

response without the assistance from other agencies. The system is should be flexible

enough to expand and contact in size of the response organization as required. The

response organization should generally be large enough and sufficiently funded to deal

with a pollution incident of a specified size and nature. Arrangement should exist for prompt

gathering and dissemination of information to all members of the response organization

about actual or threatened pollution. The decision makers in the response organization

must be available at all times to receive such information. Adequate communication

facilities therefore exist for transmission of instructions and information.



The decision makers in the response organization have sufficient authority to initiate action

to deal promptly with a spill or with an incident which may lead to a spill. This is of

importance if oil is to be dealt immediately, before it causes further damage to other

amenities. The role of decision makers in the organization for shoreline clean-up for the

State of West Bengal is given in the relevant sections of this LCP.

D. On-Scene Commander (OSC)

The OSC is a pre-designated member of the Coast Guard for coordinating oil spill in the

maritime zones of India. It can be a Harbour Master/ Pollution Response Officer of the

concerned ports, or a competent person nominated as OSC by the District Collector of the

concerned coastal district for coordinating the shoreline clean-up. In some cases, the oil

will be in the water surface near the shore areas and on the shorelines. In this scenario,

the Coast Guard OSC will be responsible for coordinating the sea based clean-up through

the resources arranged by the polluter. The Shore line Beach Supervisor will be

responsible for removing the oil that has washed ashore.

E. Responsibilities of Designated Agencies

Oil spill response to a shoreline is a collective act by all the concerned agencies and the

stakeholders. The responsibilities of Designated Agencies in the event of oil spill are

enumerated in the NOSDCP document. For efficient coordination of the shoreline clean-up

measures, the following agencies will be responsible for the functions mentioned against:
