Prigorodnoye Export Terminal Port Regulations Rev 01
9 Pollution and Environment
9.1 General
Prigorodnoye Export Terminal is situated in an area which is environmentally unspoiled and
pollution of any description, from whatever source, will be viewed extremely seriously and
reported immediately to the appropriate government authority. See Appendix 11 for specific
requirements and information on Western Gray Whales.
9.2 Avoidance of Pollution
Please note the following measures which will assist in avoiding pollution.
• No oil or mixture containing oil shall be discharged or allowed to escape from a vessel while
at the terminal or in the approaches to the terminal.
• No garbage or other materials, either liquid or solid, shall be discharged overboard from a
vessel, but shall be retained in suitable receptacles on board.
• Whilst within the terminal limits, the internal transfer of any oil, slops or bunkers on board is
prohibited unless required for loading the cargo and pre-approved by the Loading Master.
• In the event of any leakage or spillage of oil or oil contaminated liquids onboard, the Loading
Master must be advised immediately in order that loading operations can be stopped until the
spill has been cleaned up.
• Sorbent, swabs or sawdust used for mopping up such spills shall be collected for disposal
after departure of the vessel then either incinerated onboard or landed at a subsequent port
for approved disposal.
• During the loading of crude oil, deck scuppers and drain holes must be suitably plugged. Any
excess water that may accumulate must be drained off as required by a watchkeeper
attending at all times to ensure no oil residues on the deck are drained away to sea. Drip trays
must be placed under manifold connections, and any accumulated accumulation of water
drained off at regular intervals.
• During LNG loading operations scuppers should be closed, however a careful watch should
be maintained to ensure that any build up of water on deck is drained off by a responsible
watchkeeper.
• Prior to commencement to, and at regular intervals throughout loading, regular checks are to
be made to ensure that oil or oily water is not escaping through sea valves.
• Overboard discharge valves through which oil could escape shall be lashed in the shut
position during the vessel’s stay alongside. Where lashing is not practicable a suitable means
of marking the valves should be used to clearly indicate that the valves are to remain closed.
• Unused cargo and bunker connections must be closed and blanked. Blank flanges of an
adequate size and rating shall be fully bolted with gaskets in place and other types of fittings,
if used, properly secured.
• No sewage treatment water shall be discharged from any vessel whilst in port limits.
• All requirements of MARPOL and reference to Oil Spill Response plans are to be strictly
adhered too.
