1 NCA, responsebillities, legal regulations, marine accidents Rune Bergstrøm

2 Norwegian Coastal Administration NCA Authority under The Ministry for Transport and Communications Main tasks: coastal management and infrastructure planning maritime traffic safety and monitoring, preparedness and response against acute pollution (sea and inland)

3 Geographical area of responsibility Territorial Norway Inland Territorial waters to 12 nm Coastline > km Norwegian EEZ Svalbard and Bear Island Jan Mayen

4 Legislations In Norwegian Waters (12nm) Pollution Control Act Svalbard Environmental Protection Act Regulations concerning notification of acute pollution or danger of acute pollution Safe Sea Net Norway all ships irrespective of size, carrying dangerous or polluting cargo (EU harbours) Regulations concerning In Norwegian Economic Zone ( nm) Pollution act applies to Off - shore oil industry and all Norwegian ships IMO Convention relating to Intervention on the High Sea in cases of Oil Pollution, and radioactive substances., prevent, mitigate end eliminate. Marpol- regulations concerning the prevention of pollution from ships

5 Response strategy At the source Prevent drift/spreading/sinking Along drift trajectory In littoral areas On the beach Priority: - Life, health, safety > - Environmental > - Economical interest After recovery of freefloating oil and the situation at sea is stabilised.

6 NCA s role acute pollution NCA is the pollution control authority for all acute pollution (significant pollution that occurs suddenly and that is not permitted by the Pollution Control Act) except nuclear materials (Norwegian Radiation protection Authority) 24/7 duty officers, approx 1300 cases of acute or danger of acute pollution pr. year. Different roles: Adviser to the polluter, or to local authorities Inspections and control (does the polluter handle the situation satisfactory?), Legal action Wholly or partly assume command of efforts to deal with the accident

7 NCA s role with accidents including radioactive materials We will follow ships closely if we now they have radioactive materials or nuclear machinery. If an accident should happen we, will work closely in cooperation with Norwegian Joint Rescue Centre and the Norwegian Radiation Authority.(Life and health first). Only take action after safe job analyzes have been carried out. We have no special ships for situations which includes dangerous levels of radiation. We have teems of special trained and equiped firefighters (HAZMAT)

8 Traffic control Sea pilots Preventive measures Position tug vessels according to ships with HAZMAT cargo Regulated sailing routes Navigation improvments AIS, satellite

9 Cooperated national response Coast Guard - Navy Norwegian Environment Agency Norwegian Meteorological Institute National Institute of Nutrition and Seafood Research

10 International agreements and pollution response cooperation The Bonn Agreement The Copenhagen Agreement The NorBrit Agreement The Barents Sea Agreement EMSA Assistance through MIC Arctic Council EPPR WG Arctic oil spill agreement North Atlantic Coast Guard forum ICE (and MAR-ICE)

11 Wreck removal and oil Recovery New priority after oil toxity test. German coal based oils from WWII are more harmful to marine organisms than other oils

12 Gateway to the arctic ocean

13 Environmental Risk Resource groups included in the analysis: - Sea birds - Sea mammals - Fish - The shoreline Highest Environmental Risk on the west coast of Spitsbergen (Isfjorden and around Bjørnøya ) throughout the year. This is because of the fact that these areas have most of the traffic. Sea birds

14

15 Sea- traffic in Sept. 2013

16 Satellite surveillance

17 Surveillance aircraft Beechcraft King Air 350ER ut to 12 hours flying time surveillance (low alt) 1300 nm FLIR (incl laser) SLAR (20kw antenna) AIS (live datastream to shore) Downlink Drop Tube SAR direction finder Communication: Satcom, MF/HF, Duplex, VHF/FM/AM Radiac HD Video/photo

18 NCA equipment 16 main equipment depots metres of oil boom, 140 oil recovery devices, boats, beach cleaning equipment etc.., 5 NCA Oil Recovery Vessels 4 Emergency Towing Vessels 39 Boom towing vessels 1 Surveillance Aircraft 11 Coast Guard Vessels with OR National and international agreements

19 Thank you for your attention! working to keep our coast and waters among the safest and purest in the world
