Standing Approvals for Oil Spill Treatment Products (England and Wales)

The use of oil spill treatment products (including dispersants) in waters of 20 metres depth or less, or within 1nm of any such area requires approval from the licensing authority. For England and Wales, the MMO are the relevant licensing authority. A standing approval is an agreement between ourselves, as the licensing authority and a port or harbour authority, that specific oil treatment products may be used under certain conditions and in specific areas, without permission from the MMO. Standing approvals exist at the locations within this shapefile.

在深度不超过20米的水域或距此类水域1纳米范围内使用油污处理产品（包括分散剂）需获得许可机构的批准。对于英格兰和威尔士地区，海事与海洋署（MMO）是相应的许可机构。持续批准系指许可机构与我方，即海事与海洋署，与港口或码头管理机构之间的一项协议，允许在特定条件下和特定区域内使用特定的油污处理产品，无需事先获得海事与海洋署的许可。持续批准存在于本shapefile所标识的地点。
