Hazardous and Noxious Substances Spill Incidents

Advanced Search

On this database it is collected information on the fate and weathering of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) accidentally spilt at the sea around the world. It gathers and systematizes existing information to assist stakeholders involved in spill preparedness and response, and builds return of experience datasheets for the chemicals involved. It will facilitate the incorporation of lessons from past incidents on the decision process to improve preparedness.

Fate and weathering facts observed/reported

Spill of pesticides (10 T of Endosulfan + Antracol WP 70, Tamaron 600 SL, Trap 70 WP, Fuerza GR 3), paint, solvents and electrical equipment. A 5 km exclusion zone around the wreck, where fishing and aquaculture activities were prohibited, was set up by the Philippine authorities. On site, the experts carried out aerial reconnaissance, as well as surveys by boat and on foot along the shoreline in order to assess the situation and make recommendations on analysis protocols, boom deployment and response at sea in case of a spill. On 11 July, following the observation of a fuel slick, the Coast Guards deployed a boom around the wreck. Seawater samples were taken from 5 sample points around the wreck every day, then analysed by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB). Fish, sediment and plankton were also sampled by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
