This document discusses integrated marine pollution control and responsibilities for preventing pollution under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It identifies key articles that require states to take measures to prevent, reduce, and control pollution from various sources. The document also explains five types of oil pollution combating equipment that should be stockpiled: booms, skimmers, dispersants, sorbents, and portable storage tanks.

2. Question 1:
Identify and explain the article in
UNCLOS 1982 on responsibilities of
state parties to the marine
environment?

3. Article 194: Measures to prevent, reduce and
control pollution of the marine environment
• The state parties have a responsibilities to prevent,
reduce and control pollution of the marine
environment from any source or pollution.
• The state parties shall take all measures necessary to
ensure that activities under their jurisdiction not to
cause damage to their environment and other state.

4. • The release of toxic, harmful or noxious substances from
land-based sources, atmosphere or by dumping;
• Pollution from vessels, in particular measures for
preventing accidents and dealing with emergencies,
ensuring the safety of operations at sea, preventing
intentional and unintentional discharges, and regulating the
design, construction, equipment, operation and manning of
vessels;
• Pollution from installations and devices used in exploration
or exploitation of the natural resources of the seabed and
subsoil, in particular measures for preventing accidents and
dealing with emergencies, ensuring the safety of operations
at sea, and regulating the design, construction, equipment,
operation and manning of such installations or devices;

5. • Pollution from other installations and devices
operating in the marine environment, in
particular measures for preventing accidents
and dealing with emergencies, ensuring the
safety of operations at sea, and regulating the
design, construction, equipment, operation
and manning of such installations or devices.

6. Question 2 :
Explain 5 oil pollution combating
equipments that should be stockpiled.

7. Booms
• A boom is a floating barrier that can be towed or
anchored into place.
• All booms have a freeboard above the water to
collect the oil and a skirt below the water to stop
the oil moving under the boom. Booms can be
used:
– along shorelines or at sea
– to contain oil until it is recovered
– to prevent oil from entering sensitive areas or to
divert it to less sensitive areas
– to stop oil from stranding on shorelines.

9. Skimmers
• Skimmers remove oil from the water’s surface.
• Only lighter oils can be separated and
removed from the water in this method
• The skimmed oil is then stored in tanks
awaiting disposal.
• Booms are used to concentrate the oil to
make it thick enough to be skimmed off the
surface.

11. Dispersants
• Dispersants are chemicals that help remove oil from the sea
surface by breaking oil slicks into small droplets.
• The small droplets are then dispersed and diluted into the
underlying seawater by wave action where they are broken
down by bacteria.

12. Sorbents
• Sorbents are materials that attract and hold
oils.
• Most sorbents rely on oil being absorbed into
them, like a sponge.
• Sorbents can be in the form of booms, pillows,
pads or snares.
• They are generally made from polypropylene
or polyethylene and can be wrung out and
reused.

14. • used for oil spill recovery and temporary
storage of the recovered oil during spill
response operations on water.
• The tanks have capacities from 3 to 50 cubic
meters
• Can be deflated and flattened for extremely
compact storage when they are not in use.
