  1. KIANI SATU CARGO VESSEL GROUNDING - A DISASTER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE WCDM MCC : 10/09/2013 Gerhard Otto : Head of Eden MDMC/ Manager Emergency Services

  2. Background • On 28/12/2011 the Eden MDMC was informed that a local fishing vessel spotted oil leaking 6-7 kilometers off shore from Dannabaai; • In the day’s to follow light oil pollution was noticed at Diaz beach; • In subsequent K9 reconnaissance flights a sheen of oil was confirmed; • Investigations revealed that the oil could be leaking form the OVS Voortrekker that went to ground in 1993; • Initially the leak was plugged by Smith’s and later pumped off; • Oil spill contingency planning updated for Mossel Bay area- 2012; • Knysna would have followed with exercise in August/September 2013; = We did have our contingency plans updated; BUT • Could we implement the plan, was it practical and did the role-players understand their roles and responsibilities to put the plan into action within a given timeframe;

  3. Legal Mandate (Refer to MT Phoenix report updated 12/08/2011) • Since 1 October 1985 the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, now called The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has been responsible for the combatting of oil pollution in conjunction with the Department of Transport (DoT) retaining the responsibility for prevention. This arrangement applies to the functions in terms of the Prevention and Combatting of Oil pollution at Sea by the Oil Act 6 of 1981; • Following the establishment of the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) on 1 April 1998, the administration of this Act -now called the Marine Pollution (Control and Civil Liability) Act 6 of 1981 was transferred to SAMSA in terms of the South African Maritime Safety Authority Act, Act 5 of 1998; • However section 52 of the latter Act continues DEA’s responsibility for the combatting of oil pollution; CONCLUSION • Act 5 of 1998 place the legal mandate for the managing of marine emergencies on the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA); • Lead agent for combatting of oil pollution=DEA; BUT Other organizations have a duty of care (Sec. 28 of the National Environmental Management Act, NEMA- Act 107 of 1998) for the coastal, marine and estuarine environments in the particular the biodiversity of these environments and act to support DEA
