Gard Guidance Masters

3.12.1.2 REFERENCE AND NATIONAL CONTACT POINTS

 
The Master should always seek assistance if his vessel has caused pollution, irrespective of the type of pollution!
 

If there is pollution, the Master should refer to and implement the relevant SOPEP for the particular jurisdiction in which the pollution has occurred.

Every pollution case is different, demanding an individual response in each case, and the Master should therefore also refer to the Gard Handbook on Protection of the Marine Environment.
