XVI RECOMMENDATIONS Strategic recommendations for waterways (Chapter 4), the legal framework (Chapter 5) and the environment (Chapter 6) cover institutional capacity, monitoring and compliance, emergency response and enhancing coordination between relevant line agencies, the private sector and other key stakeholders. This volume also summarises problems identified in the Risk Analysis and recommendations to improve the transport and management of dangerous goods at the national and regional levels to prevent pollution incidents and enhance coordination and monitoring of the navigation sector. Some of the recommendations can be implemented in the short term with limited investment. Others, however, will require more investment, capacity building and further consultation with Member Countries to develop a strategic plan. In this regard, the recommendations in this volume will be used to develop the Phase 2 project, the Implementation Strategy and Development Programme for Sustainable Management of Dangerous Goods. Member Countries, line agencies, the private sector, donor agencies and the investment banks are encouraged to study these recommendations and consider how they can be implemented and consider the potential opportunities and difficulties. Volumes I and II provide a useful framework to ensure a balance between inland waterborne transport and environmental protection. The Risk Analysis will be an important reference for the MRC, national line agencies, development partners and the private sector for many years to come. The Navigation Programme looks forward to the opportunity of working together with the Member Countries and navigation sector to improve the transport of dangerous goods in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) to: • prevent pollution and environmental damage to the water resources of the Mekong River; • protect the lives of workers, crewmembers and riparian communities; and • enhance emergency response and effective coordination for oil spills, fires and other major accidents along the waterway.
1. FROM RISK ANALYSIS TO RECOMMENDATIONS 1.1 OVERVIEW RECOMMENDATIONS 1 Inland navigation can contribute to making transport more sustainable, particularly when it substitutes for road transport. But inland shipping can also have considerable environmental impacts. Concerns in the Mekong River include water pollution from shipping accidents, disposal of waste and wastewater from vessels as well as the overall operations of vessels, ports, ferry crossings, refuelling stations and petroleum terminals along with the carriage, handling and storage of dangerous goods. In December 2010, the Mekong River Commission (MRC) Navigation Programme (NAP) began the Phase 1 project, Risk Analysis of the Carriage, Handling and Storage of Dangerous Goods. The project is part of the MRC Navigation Strategy and Programme Component 3 (Traffic Safety and Environmental Sustainability) which aims to improve safety, environmental protection and pollution control. The NAP development objectives are to promote freedom of navigation and increase international trade opportunities for the mutual benefit of MRC Member Countries and to help develop effective and safe waterborne transport in a sustainable and protective manner for the waterway environment. The specific objectives of the Risk Analysis were to identify and determine the magnitude of risks associated with the carriage, handling and storage of dangerous cargoes in ports, vessels and oil and gas terminals on the Mekong River, and determine feasible prevention and mitigation measures to manage the risks. Petroleum products and other dangerous goods are increasingly being transported along the Mekong River. If not managed properly, these cargoes have the potential to cause significant pollution and even cause major incidents such as fires and explosions impacting on riparian communities. The Risk Analysis included assessing the operational impacts of ports, terminals and vessels and also the waterway, environment and the legal framework which governs international, cross-border and domestic transport.
