SUMMARY OF SHIP SAFETY POLLUTION PREVENTION ACTIVITIES 1993
15.0 Pollution Incidents
15.1 Pollution Incident Database
Pollution Incident Reports are submitted to the division by Ship Safety pollution prevention officers throughout Canada whenever a pollution incident is investigated. A computer database going back to 1978 was established and is now updated once every two weeks. Originally, the database was used only to keep track of the number of investigations and prosecutions, but the addition of several fields has increased its usefulness in analyzing various factors relating to pollution from ships. Any reports received from VTS, Emergencies , DND and the Coast Guard pollution flights are now being added to the database.
