Ship Plan for HNS
It is in principle necessary, (article 3 of the OPRC HNS Protocol) for the ship registered OPRC-HNS Protocol), for the ship registered under the flag of a State that is party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol or visiting a State that is party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol to have onboard:
a “Pollution Incident Emergency Plan” (PIEP) and necessary reporting procedures
Ship Plan for HNS
Regulation 16 of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 every ship of 150 GT and above shall carry every ship of 150 GT and above shall carry on board:a Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan (SMPEP) for Noxious Liquid Substances approved by the Administration
Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 Regulation 26 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 requires that every Oil Tanker 150GT and above to carry:a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) approved by the Administration

National Contingency Plan for HNS
Necessary Requirement BUT not sufficient
Should contain full information at National Level on procedures, responsibilities, implications, structure, cooperation and expertise (including international)
Similar to a National Oil Spill Contingency Plan in the structure but not fulfilling the similar in the structure but not fulfilling the similar outcomes: HNS can develop quickly
Need to be well complemented and resourced at lower level with teams having the expertise and the authority to react promptly

Port or Terminal Plans
Incidents are usually better dealt with in Incidents are usually better dealt with in sheltered waters within the area of a port or terminal (almost never offshore)
Vital link between the PIEP and the NCPbut not an OPRC-HNS obligation
Allows prompt response and can be backed-up accordingly if required
