 The cooperative
arrangements for response to oil spills by Australian oil
and associated industries are brought together under AMOSplan.
AMOSplan is managed by AMOSC, which also coordinates the participation
of the oil industry in Australia's National Plan to Combat Pollution
of the Sea by Oil and Other Noxious and Hazardous Substances.
AMOSplan replaces the previous industry mutual aid arrangement
referred to as the Marine Oil Spills Action Plan (MOSAP).
The principle of the AMOSplan mutual aid arrangements is that,
in order to assist in a local response to an incident, individual
company resources are available under cooperative arrangements
through the AMOSC hiring agreements.
In a practical sense, individual companies deal with each other
for mutual aid in responses to small oil spills using nominated
Mutual Aid Contacts for each company site. AMOSC
becomes involved to assist in the administrative arrangements
and if the spill response requires additional resources.
