Appendix B – <strong>Environmental</strong> Impact Assessment<br />

Lube <strong>and</strong><br />

hydraulic oil<br />

spills<br />

Accidental spillage of oils<br />

may result from<br />

rupture/corrosion of<br />

drums in storage; loss of<br />

containment during<br />

decanting; rupture of<br />

hydraulic hose in use.<br />

Spill may enter drainage<br />

system <strong>and</strong> be<br />

discharged to sea<br />

Diesel spills Accidental spillage<br />

during bunkering<br />

operations <strong>and</strong> rupture<br />

of diesel tanks.<br />

Minor spillage that would impair water quality<br />

<strong>and</strong> marine life in immediate vicinity of discharge.<br />

Likelihood Consequence Risk<br />

2 1 Low<br />

Impacts depend on spill size, prevailing wind, sea<br />

state & temperature & sensitivity of<br />

environmental features affected. Birds are most<br />

sensitive offshore receptor. Also affected are<br />

plankton, fish/fisheries, seabed animals & marine<br />

mammals.<br />

Likelihood Consequence Risk<br />

2 1 Low<br />

Storage tanks <strong>and</strong> hoses<br />

are subject to an inspection<br />

<strong>and</strong> engineering<br />

maintenance strategy.<br />

OPEP is implemented in<br />

the event of a spill as per<br />

Emergency Response<br />

Process.<br />

Trained deck operations<br />

personnel. Diesel storage<br />

tanks <strong>and</strong> transfer hoses<br />

are subject to inspection &<br />

engineering maintenance<br />

strategy. Bunded storage<br />

tanks. OPEP is<br />

implemented in the event<br />

of a spill as per Emergency<br />

Response Process. <strong>Oil</strong> spill<br />

modelling completed as an<br />

integral part of OPEP.<br />

None envisaged.<br />

None envisaged<br />

diesel should rapidly<br />

evaporate <strong>and</strong><br />

form of greenhouse<br />
