USCG Issues Guidance on Vessel and Facility Response Plans

The US Coast Guard has issued Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC 01-07) which provides guidance on vessel and facility response planning in relation to oil spill removal organizations (OSRO) resource movements during significant pollution events. The purpose of the NVIC is to provide guidance to Coast Guard units, vessel and facility plan holders, OSRO’s, and other members of the public in connection with spill removal resource movements after an oil spill associated with a significant pollution event such as a Spill of National Significance (SONS) or an Incident of National Significance (INS). For a copy of the NVIC, contact Jessica Roger.
