The Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan, or SOPEP, is a prevention plan carried on board tankers >150 GT and other vessels >400 GT. In this plan you get an overview of possible procedures in case of an oil spill. In the plan is also mentioned who you should contact (list of authorities, oil cleanup teams and port state control) and how to report this event to the nearest coast guard station.

A typical shipboard oil pollution plan contains:

  • An action plan with instructions for the oil pollution prevention team. This is a list of duties the crewmembers have to fulfil in case of an oil spill.
  • General information about the ship
  • Procedures to contain the discharge of the oil into the sea in accordance to MARPOL regulations (regulation 37 of annex I)
  • Drawings of fuel/oil lines
  • Location of SOPEP boxes

The plan should be written in accordance to the International Maritime Organization regulations.
