Refueling, pollution prevention & responsibilty

18 October 2017 | Ashore
Anthony Purnell
I recently bought a diesel spill kit following a not too successful refueling at Plymouth Yacht Haven. The young chap on the pontoon was chatting away when my tank reached its capacity and overfilled leaving my teak deck covered in diesel and heading towards the scuppers!
The small pads that the lad gave me were woefully inadequate and diesel got between the locker gaps. I just wondered who has the responsibility here? The fuel issuer or the Skipper taking the fuel?
