Oil Pollution Management Project – Algeria
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The project objectives are to reduce the quantity of petroleum hydrocarbons entering the international
waters of the Mediterranean and to comply with MARPOL 73/78 Convention requirements. The project
also achieved, among other objectives, the development of a comprehensive and integrated system for
the management of oil pollution caused by marine sources, thus ensuring commonality of approaches
and methodologies, promoting exchange of information and coordination, enhancing monitoring capability
among the countries in the region for preventing and combating oil pollution and improving the quality of
the marine environment.
RESULTS: PROCESS
Regional cooperation and standardized approach were developed, national and regional capacity to
handle oil pollution was strengthened, and compliance with the MARPOL requirement regarding the
norms for discharging oil into the Mediterranean was achieved. The most important outcomes are: (a)
prevention as well as preparedness to combat oil spills systems are in place; (b) enactment of a NCP; (c)
preparation of an advanced draft RCP; and (d) joint training carried out for regional staff from the three
participating countries on contingency plan and oil spills cleaning and prevention. Bi-annual reports on
sea water analysis (oil content in the water) have been satisfactory and regularly provided, and effluents
from deballasting stations do not exceed 15 ppm.
INDICATOR#1 Biannual report on sea water analysis (oil content in the water)
Reports provided on time biannually.
INDICATOR#2 Enactment of national contingency plan and preparation of draft regional contingency plan
National contingency plan was enacted in 1994 and a regional contingency plan was drafted and
transmitted for approval to concerned authorities.
INDICATOR#3 Training of technical and management staff
128 staff completed training on contingency plan and the prevention and cleaning of oil spills.
INDICATOR#4 Annual meeting of the CRCP (regional committee)
Held twice a year.
INDICATOR#5 Establishment of a baseline data on oil content in sea water
A baseline established in December 1995.
RESULTS: STRESS REDUCTION
The project addressed potential negative environmental impacts on discharged ballast and bilge waters,
as well as accidental oil spills, in the southwestern Mediterranean.
INDICATOR#1 Reduction in effluent from deballasting station
Effluent from deballasting station not to exceed 15 ppm.
INDICATOR#2 Oily material treated
Improved the operational efficiency of the deballasting station located in the port of Arzew to receive and
handle ballast waters and bilge waters, and installed additional related laboratory equipment (four
laboratories equipped) to monitor oil content in the sea water.
