2.1 OBJECTIVES / OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prior to the exercise the key participants identified objectives which they hoped to achieve with regards to the testing of plans, procedures and personnel. The exercise scenario was developed to incorporate these elements, whilst maintaining flexibility to develop and evolve in response. The following table shows the lessons and recommendations of the objective review. REF OBSERVATIONS A B C 1: NOTIFICATIONS Oil Spill Contingency Plan was not available at the Incident Coordination Centre (ICC) OMMP. MARETAP Oil Spill Contingency Plan doesn t include technical data such ( Notification chart trajectory Modeling, Waste management plan, Resource available in area.ect) Notification form was in Arabic. 2: OPERATIONS RECOMMENDATION Developing Oil Spill Contingency Plan for ZARZIS terminal Update MARETAP Oil Spill Contingency Plan Bilingual forms (Arabic and France) to be considered in future. A Incident Action Plan (IAP) was not created. A template is recommended to reduce time. Developing Communication plan for There appeared to be a fragmented B emergency to clarify radio channel and means communication between sites and EOC. of communication between different company C D E F Task distribution at Incident Coordination Centre (ICC) was not coordinated to maximize the utilization of those present. Environmental Data (Wind, Current, Visibility, water depth, wave height, etc ) was not displayed in the Incident Coordination Centre (ICC) No Charts were available in the EOC. Waste Management Plan not available in the EOC. 3: CONTAINMENT An Emergency Operation Procedure should be available includes roles and responsibility. Information Board should be available at the Incident Coordination Centre (ICC) A chart folio containing the port chart, and the surrounding area should be available at the port. Waste management plan should be available at the port A Communication and positioning between marine units to be planned. Workboats and Zodiac were not functioning according to the exercise scenario. Section: 1 Revision: 1 Issue: 01 Issue Date : 12/07/15 Page 12 of 15
B clearly define the roles for maximum utilization and safety concerns C D Roles and responsibilities were not adequately distributed on the response team. Containment Boom accessories were missing. (Buoys and Anchors) The Towing bridle was not buoyed (with the Elastic Boom). The containment system is part of a package, each part should be checked before mobilization. Response team should take training on deployment and should be regularly practiced. E No Sorbent Boom was available on sites. OBSERVATIONS 4:Recovery Sorbent Kit, including sorbent booms should be readily available within the port. ( In accordance to legislation and industry best practice). RECOMMENDATION A Minimax Skimmer submerging. The skimmer operationally checked prior to deployment. (Connect floats on Discharge an Hydraulic hose) B Weir Skimmer lip was higher than water surface. The floats need to be adjusted to higher level Section: 1 Revision: 1 Issue: 01 Issue Date : 12/07/15 Page 13 of 15
C The Discharge hose should have a lashing securing the discharge hose to the tank frame. A B Discharge hose wasn t fixed properly to the fast tank. 5: Safety Site safety plan was not discussed at the safety brief. Life Jackets were not used at the jetty, workboats. A site safety plan template should be available at each site with each team leader (Risk Assessment). Safety Signs to be used to illustrate the surroundings hazards. C Use lashing to fix boom rack or any other equipment. Elastic boom rack turned over D Visitors area should be located, and to have a guide with each group. Visitors were not properly guided.
