Goal P1:
Eliminate oil discharged into the water from maritime sources.
Target:
Reverse
the
upward
trend,
and
reduce the rate of oil discharged
into the water from maritime
sources
from the
FY98
statistical baseline of
5.25 gallons spilled per million gallons
shipped
to 4.83.
Analysis
and
Evaluation
The
oil spill rate
has
been
variable over the long term: rising in
1993-1996
but
dropping significantly in 1997. This is
due
to the
absence
of a major spill in 1997.
More
data
and
analysis is
needed
to confirm a
change
in the overall trend. We will
conduct a
program
evaluation of the Port State Control
Program
and
the Elimination of
Substandard
Vessels
Initiative
to determine the impact of the initiative on reducing oil
spills by eliminating
noncompliant
foreign flag vessels from operating in U.S waters.

LA/LB
Watchstanders
(OE)
: Provides for
improved
staffing of
vessel traffic services that exercise positive control over transiting vessels
and
reduce the
chance
of a
pollution
causing incident
such
as collisions
and
groundings.
Vessel Disposal (OE)
: Provides for the proper
and
environmentally safe storage of
decommisioned
cutters prior to their final disposition.

Infrastructure Support (OE)
: Provides
assets that establish safe
waterway
markings
and
minimize the risk of a
pollution
-
causing incident.
Ports
and
Waterways
Safety
Systems
(AC&I)
:
Replaces
the existing Valdez, Alaska
VTS
and
performs surveys in three additional ports to
ensure
that the risk of pollution causing
accidents
such
as
groundings
and
collisions are minimized.
Marine Information for Safety
and
Law
Enforcement
(AC&I)
:
Replaces
the obsolete
and
unsupportable Marine Safety Information System.
The
new
system
will provide an
improved
capability to support analysis of pollution incidents,
and
determine better strategies
for reducing spills.
Waterways
Aids to Navigation Infrastructure (AC&I)
:
Improves
aids
to navigation in conjunction with
Corps
of
Engineers
projects to reduce pollution-
causing accidents.
Support Interagency Ship Structure
Committee
(RDT&E)
Supports research on
improved
ship
structures to reduce the potential for
damage-related
oil discharge.
