Provisions concerning reports on incidents involving harmful substances, as outlined in Protocol I to MARPOL, have been reflected in the
Pollutant Discharge Reporting
Regulations, 1995. These regulations outline when and how ship’s masters or owners and the operator of an oil handling facility must report any discharge of a pollutant that occurs or the probability that such a discharge will occur. Reports are to be made in accordance with either the
Guidelines for Reporting Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods, Harmful Substances and/or Marine
Pollutants, TP 9834, or the General Principles for Ships Reporting Systems and Ship Reporting Requirements, Including Guidelines for Reporting Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods, Harmful Substances and/or Marine Pollutants, International Maritime Organization Resolution A.851(20).
Ships are also required to report the presence of any pollutant in the water under the
Vessel Traffic Services Zones
Regulations.
