6 Arrangements for Maritime Environmental Emergencies National Arrangements The National Plan for Maritime Environmental Emergencies (the National Plan) implements Australia s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982; the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, response and coooperations, 1990; and the Protocol on Preparedness, response and Co-operation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances, 2000 (the National Plan 2014) Sets out national arrangements, policies and principles for the management of maritime environmental emergencies. Principles: Protect the community, environment and maritime industries Give effect to relevant international conventions Integrate with the Australian Emergency Management Arrangements Provide a comprehensive management arrangement Provide a single integrated response arrangement Implement a risk management approach Implement the polluter pays principles Provide for stakeholder engagement 2002 Inter-Governmental Agreement on the National Plan to Combat Pollution of the Sea by Oil and other Noxious and Hazardous Substances (IGA)

7 State Arrangements WA is signatory to the IGA Primary headline WA Emergency Management Act 2005 WA Emergency Management Regulations WestPlans 9 Hazard Management Agency (HMA) The Marine Safety, General Manager, Department of Transport is prescribed HMA for Marine oil Pollution and Marine Transport Emergencies. r15(i) MTE actual or impending event involving a ship that is capable of causing loss of life, injury to a person or damage to the health of a person, property or the environment; r15(j) MOP actual or impending spillage, release or escape of oil or an oily mixture that is capable of causing loss of life, injury to a person or damage to the health of a person, property or the environment

8 State Arrangements Primary headline WestPlan-MOP: The aim of the WestPlan-MOP is to outline the management arrangements Secondary for preparation headlineand response to a MOP emergency in order to minimise the impact of marine oil pollution from vessels, offshore petroleum facilities and other sources in Western Australian State Waters Define the roles and responsibilities for the prevention of, preparation for, response to and recovery from MOP emergencies (PPRR) Integrate with the National Plan, WestPlan-HAZMAT, WestPlan-MTE, WA DoT OSCP and other OSCP/OPEPs with responsibilities in State waters Defines State waters as they apply to MOP emergencies Oil Spill Contingency Plans (Oil Pollution Emergency Plans) Contingency plans set out arrangements to response to MOP emergencies. All Port, Port Operator, Port Facility Operators and Petroleum titleholders have a responsibility to formulate, review and exercise response plans. DoT OSCP Outlines DoT s preparedness to respond to a MOP emergency

12 Oil Spill Response Atlas (OSRA) & WMA The Western Australian Oil Spill Response Atlas (OSRA) is a spatial database of environmental, logistical Primary and oil spill headline response data Displays datasets collated from a range of custodians allowing decision makers to visualise environmental sensitivities and response considerations in a selected location Oil spill trajectory modelling (OSTM)can be overlaid to assist in determining protection priorities, establishing suitable response strategies and identifying available resources for both contingency and incident planning The OSRA Web Map Application (WMA) allows the layers found in OSRA to be viewed via a secure portal from the DoT website and provides basic functional tools
