Danger to personnel, the vessel or shore installations should be given priority over the potential for pollution. However, release of noxious liquid substances into the sea can create dangerous situations through reaction between the liquid and water.
Steps to be taken immediately :
Stop any cargo, bunkering or ballasting operations in progress, and close all tank valves [...]

Posted by author on June 12th, 2008
This is an inherent danger associated with the carriage of chemical cargoes and noxious liquid substances. If a dangerous cargo reaction or contamination of a cargo yielding a hazardous condition occurs, the consequences to the safety of the vessel, its crew and nearby shore personnel will be paramount, and must take priority. However, a result [...]

Posted by author on June 12th, 2008
For oil tankers and cargo vessels at sea, it is unlikely that a significant marine pollution hazard will be created solely by vapour release. In port the main problem with such an event is the safety of the crew and nearby shore personnel in a flammable or toxic atmosphere.
Steps to be taken immediately:
Stop any cargo, [...]
Submerged, Foundered or Wrecked
Posted by author on June 12th, 2008
If the vessel is wrecked to the extent that it is in imminent danger of foundering or being completely or partially submerged, safety of the lives of the crew will take priority over preventing pollution. It is likely that the event which caused the sinking will have led to some surface pollution already. However, if [...]

Posted by author on June 12th, 2008
If there has been an internal failure of the bunker oil or cargo containment system, other than pipeline leakage, it is likely that it will be detected by another symptom such as an excessive list, a tank overflow or external hull leakage, often preceded or accompanied by a loud or unusual noise. Advice on initial [...]
