IMO/FAO Guidance on Managing Seafood Safety During and after Oil Spills
More LessThis publication provides a very useful guide to identify the various problems that will affect fisheries and aquaculture enterprises in the event of an oil spill. This will be useful to spill responders and managers with responsibilities for protecting public health and those in the fisheries sector as well as consumers concerned about the safety and quality of seafood.
At its forty-first session, the Marine environment protection Committee tasked the OPRC Working Group to develop a guidance document for fisheries management during and after an oil spill incident. Dr. Tosh Moller, Technical Team Manager of the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Ltd. (ITOPF), prepared the draft guidance document and submitted it at MEPC 42.

Manuel Sur La Pollution Chimique: Section 1 – Évaluation et Intervention
More LessLa présente publication, élaborée par le Comité de la protection du milieu marin de l’Organisation maritime internationale (OMI), remplace l’édition de 1986 de la Section 1 du Manuel sur la pollution chimique. Aux fins du présent Manuel, les substances nocives et potentiellement dangereuses (substances HNS) comprennent, mais sans s’y limiter : les substances nocives liquides mentionnées dans l’Annexe II de MARPOL 73/78 et dans le Recueil international de règles sur les transporteurs de produits chimiques (Recueil IBC); les marchandises dangereuses mentionnées dans le Code maritime international des marchandises dangereuses (Code IMDG); les gaz mentionnés dans le Recueil international de règles sur les transporteurs de gaz (Recueil IGC); et les cargaisons solides mentionnées dans le Recueil de règles pratiques pour la sécurité du transport des cargaisons solides en vrac (Recueil BC). Ce Manuel est conçu de manière à aider les gouvernements à évaluer les risques liés aux déversements de substances nocives et potentiellement dangereuses et à mettre en place des organismes d’intervention. Il décrit en outre des méthodes d’intervention sûres. La présente section de ce Manuel ne traite ni de la récupération des colis perdus lors d’événements en mer, ni des problèmes afférents aux substances radioactives ou explosives. Ces questions sont traitées dans le Manuel sur la pollution chimique : Section 2 – Recherche et récupération des marchandises en colis perdues en mer.
Les problèmes liés aux accidents de pollution par les hydrocarbures et les renseignements connexes font l’objet des sections I à VI du Manuel sur la pollution par les hydrocarbures de l’OMI.

More LessThis publication, prepared by the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) supersedes the 1986 edition of section 1 of the Manual on Chemical Pollution. For the purpose of this Manual, hazardous materials (HNS) include, but are not limited to: noxious liquid substances, described under Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 and the International Bulk Chemical Code (IBC Code); dangerous goods, described in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code); gases regulated under the International Gas Carrier Code (IGC Code); and solid cargoes covered by the Code of Safe Practice of Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code). It provides guidance to Governments on ways of assessing hazards associated with spillages of hazardous and noxious substances and of setting up response organizations. Further, it describes safe operational practice in response.
