Oil Pollution Equipment (하이그라파 오염방지제품)

Different SOPERs in force must be observed, depending on the trading area of the vessel.

Subject to Port State control verification world-wide.

 

1. The Marpol SOPER (Regulation 26)

2. The Panama Canal SOPER (PCSOPEP) requires that vessels have shipboard SOPEP equipment ready for operational spills (without further specification).

3. The California VRP for non-tank vessels and tank vessels, specifying shipboard capacities capable of handling a 7 barrel (1100 litre) or 12 barrel (1900 litre) operational spill, respectively, e.g. under 400' LOA, the 7 barrel rule, over 400' LOA, the 12 barrel rule.

4. The USCG approved VRP effective as of 8 August 2005 for non-tank vessels and tank vessels, applies the same rules as for the California VRP for vessels calling at US ports, e.g. on board capacities to be such as to handle a 7 barrel (1100 litre) or 12 barrel (1900 litre) operational spill, respectively.

 

For details applying to 3. and 4. please see 33 CFR 155.205.

 

The required quantity of absorbent material plus 10% spare capacity is recommended for all 4 SOPERS (VRPs) mentioned.

 

These emergency resources are to be kept in a secure location (SOPEP store) as identified in both California VRP and USCG VRP, and not to be used in the course of normal shipboard maintenance. After emergency use, replenishments must be arranged at the earliest opportunity. During bunkering and/or cargo transfer operations, the equipment and supplies must remain ready for immediate use.
