The terminal duty officer immediately reported the situation to the port air traffic emergency command. After received the accident report, the department immediately launched an emergency response plan and notified the ship to stop the pump, close the dock, cut off the valve, and sound the alarm. At the first time, the staffs from the port and shipping team went to the site to cooperate with the oil depot staffs to absorb the oil with the oil absorbent pads. At the same time, the oil dispersant was sprayed to dilute the oil on the ground. In less than 10 minutes, the diesel oil on the ground was completely cleaned, and no oil was caused to the surrounding environment and waters near the pier. After the completion of the drill, they were also carried out the dock tanker fire drill and the fire extinguisher extinguishing drill. The team members listened to the command and coordinated operations and successfully completed the fire drill.
