REPORTABLE QUANTITIES<br />

Reportable Quantity: AS 46.03.755 and 18 AAC 75.300 requires that all spills to water be<br />

reported as soon as the responsible party has knowledge of the discharge. The Cruise Line or its<br />

representative is required to report all pollution events originating from their ship to the Department<br />

immediately.<br />

Marine Mystery Sheens: Cruise Lines are not required to report pollution of an unknown origin<br />

to the Department. As an <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>Ranger</strong> you may, and are encouraged to, report marine mystery<br />

sheens to the Department yourselves. Given the transient nature of marine spills it is critical that<br />

reports are made in a timely manner. If you have access to phone service, please call the report in<br />

or email a digital spill report as soon as the sheen is discovered. The Department does not have the<br />

man power to respond to all marine mystery sheens and often the quantity is unrecoverable but<br />

sometimes they lead to the discovery of a previously unidentified problem onboard a vessel.<br />

Oil Discharges within the Vessel: Internal oil discharges are not regulated or tracked by<br />

ADEC-SPAR and do not need to be reported to ADEC-SPAR. Internal oil discharges should be<br />

reported to the ADEC Cruise Ship Program per your protocol.<br />
