The POLREP (Port Oil Report) is a report that is used to provide information on the movement and handling of oil products in a particular port.
POLREPs are typically prepared by the ship's operator or agent and are submitted to the port authorities and other relevant parties, such as oil terminal operators and oil companies, to provide information on the arrival, departure, and handling of oil products in the port.
POLREPs may include information on the types and quantities of oil products being handled, the vessel's details (such as its name, flag, and IMO number), and the port of origin and destination.
Here are a few examples of the types of information that may be included in a POLREP:
-
Arrival and departure details: A POLREP may include information on the vessel's arrival and departure dates and times, as well as details on the vessel's port of origin and destination.
-
Oil product details: A POLREP may include information on the types and quantities of oil products being handled, such as crude oil, gasoline, or diesel fuel. The report may also include information on the source of the oil products and the destination to which they are being shipped.
-
Handling details: A POLREP may include information on the handling of oil products in the port, such as loading and unloading operations, storage, and other activities.
-
Safety and environmental considerations: A POLREP may also include information on the safety and environmental measures that are being taken to ensure the safe and responsible handling of oil products in the port. This may include details on spill prevention and response plans, as well as other measures to protect the marine environment.
POLREP is also a shortcut for 'Pollution Reporting System'.
