These guidelines are for those involved in the creation of oil spill response contingency plans. They promote a coherent national approach to the successful management of oil pollution incidents. Theyre designed to ensure that the national contingency plan (NCP) and local plans, including those of harbour authorities, work together to respond effectively.

If you need assistance with this area or have any questions please contact Mr Stan Woznicki, head of counter pollution and salvage branch, via the following email address: Stan.Woznicki@mcga.gov.uk.Alternatively you can contact your regional counter pollution and salvage officer, with whom you will be familiar.
