Paragraph 9 Marine pollution contingency planI1

The licence holder must submit a marine pollution contingency plan, for approval by the MMO, at least 13 weeks prior to the commencement of the first licensed activity, including any construction activity.

The marine pollution contingency plan must set out the licence holder's assessment of the likely risks which could arise as a result of a spill or collision during the carrying out of the licensed activities and the methods and procedures the licence holder intends to put in place to address those risks.

The licence holder must not commence the licensed activities until the MMO has approved in writing the submitted marine pollution contingency plan.

The licensed activities must be carried out in accordance with the approved marine pollution contingency plan, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the MMO.
