Environmental statement - Flyndre and Cawdor - Maersk Oil

Diesel spills Accidental spillage
during bunkering
operations and rupture
of diesel tanks.
Oil spills Loss of hydrocarbon
containment includes
accidental discharges of
untreated OBMs, OBM
contaminated cleaning
fluids, drillings etc.
Impacts depend on spill size, prevailing wind, sea
state & temperature & sensitivity of
environmental features affected. Birds are most
sensitive offshore receptor. Also affected are
plankton, fish/fisheries, seabed animals & marine
mammals.
Likelihood Consequence Risk
2 1 Low
Impact dependent on spill volume and weather
conditions. Birds are most sensitive offshore
receptor. Also affected are plankton,
fish/fisheries, seabed animals & marine

Flyndre and Cawdor Development Environmental Statement
Appendix B – Environmental Impact Assessment
Trained personnel involved
in fuel transfer. Diesel
storage tanks and transfer
hoses are subject to
inspection & engineering
maintenance strategy.
Bunded storage tanks.
Annually replace bunker
hoses on the NTvL.
OPEP is implemented in
the event of a spill as per
Emergency Response
Process.
Procedures in OPEP are
implemented should a spill
occur. Training is provided
on oil spill response to all
appropriate personnel.
Maersk are members of
OSRL (OSRL are on standby
to provide oil spill clean‐up
when required). Tanks
have a spill over area.
None envisaged.
Diesel should rapidly
evaporate and
disperse.
Spills may cause
local elevation of
hydrocarbon levels
and contamination
and toxic effects.
