The Office of Marine Safety was created to protect the state's
marine environment by implementing programs that prevent oil spills
from large vessels operating in state waters. The Office establishes
standards for tank, cargo, fishing, and passenger vessels; establishes
standards for vessel bunkering (refueling) operations; and reviews
vessel contingency plans. The Office screens vessels entering
Washington waters to determine their level of risk, and then inspects
those high risk vessels from field offices in Puget Sound and
the Columbia River.
The goal is to ensure the best achievable protection of the state's
natural resources and the public health and safety from harm caused
by marine oil spills.
The objective is to increase marine safety by working cooperatively
with the maritime community, the public, and federal and state
agencies in a collaborative effort to prevent marine oil spills.
