Comments


Club made default arrangements with Marine Spill Response Corp/National Response Corp. to provide OSRO services to nontank vessels for spills in the US.


for tankers, practical solution: enrol into C-Plan held by charterers, oil companies, terminals; for both tankers and non tankers the contract of those OSROs in Alaska are not approvable by IG. Additional insurance required (contact Managers for info on additional insurance)

SOPEP would satisfy the State C-Plan requirements, if it has a written designation of an officer who is responsible for training crew for spill response and for coordinating response efforts in a spill


Though Guam has no C-Plan requirements, federal VRP requires tankers to enroll with both Guam Respons Services Ltd and T&T/OSROCO. T&T/OSROCO’s contract has been approved by IG, however Guam Response Services Ltd’s contract is not approved, which needs extra cover. (contact Managers for assistance)
