Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP)

Overview Lessons

Regulation 37 of MARPOL Annex I requires that oil tankers of 150 gross tonnes and above and all ships of 400 gross tonnes and above carry an approved Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP). This must be read and understood by all officers and crew so that any oil spills that do occur have minimal impact on the marine environment.

This course introduces the regulations and requirements for a SOPEP as well as the general layout and gives advice on how to use the information contained within to effectively manage any oil spill incidents.
