100 RECOMMENDATIONS 3.4.4 Emergency Response Management by Authorities RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should ensure that there is an adequate national authority responsible for responding to navigational emergencies along the waterway. Challenge The government’s role, which may assume many different facets, is a very important factor in the maritime transport industry. The government influences and controls the industry in many different ways and to different extents through legal, political and financial instruments. To manage inland waterways, ports, terminals and their traffic, a legal framework is necessary that should result in the establishment of different governmental agencies. Only in Viet Nam does such a framework exists, although implementation and control of the existing regulations is either not possible or not efficient due to various reasons such as budget constraints. Government agencies such as inland water authority, coast guards and port authorities can issue amend, promulgate and enforce regulations. Through powers vested in their constitutions, governments exercise authority and control over dangerous goods transport, safety and health and environmental protection. This includes emergency response management. The degree of independence/interdependence, cooperation and responsibility of competent authorities within their areas of responsibility, which should be regulated by law, may vary between countries. Emergency response by authorities is only possible if the necessary agencies exist and are fully operational. References • DAGOB 2006; and • Irish Coast Guard, Department of Transport. ACTIONS Institutional and Capacity Building Emergency responses can be divided into national response by inland waterway authorities and local responses by port authorities restricted to the limits of the port. Inland Waterway Authorities Inland waterway authorities, which may be known as coast guards, should be national emergency organisations and may be a part of the ministry responsible for transport. Their purpose should be to establish, promote and enforce safety and security standards and, by doing so, prevent as far as possible the loss of life at sea and on inland waters, and to provide effective emergency response services and to safeguard the quality of the marine or freshwater environment. The objective in relation to water pollution is to develop and coordinate an effective regime for preparedness and response to spills of oil and other hazardous substances from vessels, to provide an efficient and effective response to incidents involving casualties and to monitor/intervene in salvage operations, Such authorities can also be responsible for monitoring vessel traffic, security and illegal drug trafficking. In practice, this means that they are responsible for:
ACTIONS Institutional and Capacity Building (continued) VESSELS 101 • providing efficient and effective water pollution and salvage notification, monitoring and response system to co-ordinate and/or control an effective response to pollution and salvage incidents; • establishing and maintaining national contingency plans for water pollution preparedness and response; • approving port oil contingency plans; • approving local authority contingency plans; • exercising national and local contingency plans; • prevention pollution through casualty intervention, salvage control and control of any transfer operations outside harbours and port areas by monitoring, issuing directions and taking direct action; • on receiving information about casualties, water pollution or risk of water pollution, deciding whether a combat operation should be launched and, if so, what means or counter-measures should be used; • implementing and enforcing national and international water pollution legislation including gathering evidence for illegal discharges; • Provision of national training courses on water pollution response; and • Issuing directions or taking direct action to prevent, mitigate or eliminate pollution. The coast guard or inland waterway authority should deliver its emergency response through a mixture of declared resources and craft like patrol vessels and helicopters and services like a rescue coordination centre. Port Authorities Port authorities should implement, within their port limits, comprehensive emergency response plans. These should enable port facility users, such as terminals, inland waterway barges and emergency service personnel, to manage an effective and safe response to emergencies within the port's limits. They should provide guidelines for actions to be taken during an emergency to minimise the potential for loss of life, injury to people, and damage to the environment and property by covering foreseeable incidents and outlining remediation. The objectives of emergency response plans should be to: • provide an emergency response capability within port limits; • offer incident assistance, coordination, communications and water transport expertise to the emergency response squad; • facilitate training, development and response planning; and • provide capability for exercise analysis plus incident review and response.
