Under the new plan the Federal On Scene Commander is now empowered to take unilateral decisions where and when necessary. Thus, while co-operation and consensus is still sought with all involved and interested parties; and while there is strong recognition that as much as possible must be achieved in the way of pre-planning prior to incidents, there is also recognition that there should be no doubt as to who is ultimately in charge and who is to resolve contradictory positions. 8 The Sea Empress Incident The recent Sea Empress incident (February 1996) has now provided a basis for evaluation of all of the equipment techniques and arrangements currently operational within the UK and of some made available from other European countries.
The Association also has a network of international connections and in conjunction with its counterparts in France and the USA, was a co-founder of the International Spill Control Organisation (ISCO), the secretariat of which is co-located with that of BOSCA in London. It is intended that ISCO, as the worldwide representative of the spill re- 18 CHAPTER 1 sponse industry, will achieve consultative status at the Marine Environmental Committee ofIMO. BOSCA has service agreements with both the MPCU and the Environmental Agency, the terms of which include the maintenance of the national equipment and resource register for use in spill incidents.
It should be emphasised, however, that the establishment of the MPCU as a centre of expertise within government, with 24 hour emergency call-out, was a major step forward, and its performance continues to provide evidence of the good sense and judgement of those responsible for its creation. Its handling of the at-sea response to the oil releases of the Sea Empress incident, its coordination of the activities of the local authorities and of all other interested parties, can only be described as a success.
