RESPONSE TO MARINE CHEMICAL SPILLS PART 1 - THE RISK

The program examines some of the vital information that responders to a chemical spill will need in order to plan an effective response: Where has the incident occurred? What are the implications of the various locations? What is the current state of tide and wind? What is the chemical? How much has been spilt? What hazard does it represent? Each International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) hazard class is examined.

The program concludes with a detailed examination of the incident involving the vessel 'Anna Broere'. She was a small chemical tanker carrying acrylonitrile. She sank in shallow water in the North Sea after having been in a collision. The methods used and the issues raised are fully discussed.
