3101F.6 Oil spill exposure classification. ¶

3101F.6 Oil spill exposure classification. Each MOT shall be categorized into one of three oil spill exposure classifications (high, medium or low) as shown in Table 31F-1-1, based on all of the following: 1. Exposed total volume of oil (V T ) during transfer. 2. Maximum number of oil transfer operations per berthing system (defined in Section 3102F.1.3) per year. 3. Maximum vessel size (DWT capacity) that may call at the MOT. During a pipeline leak, a quantity of oil is assumed to spill at the maximum cargo flow rate until the ESD is fully effective. The total volume (V T ) of potential…
