PIMMAG responses for non-member depend on the mutual agreement and the
amount of payment. The Marine Department will respond at tier 2 and tier 3 and
depending on the incident situation [12]. The Marine Department will be at tier 1
of the oil spill incidents for monitoring. None of the oil spill incidents in Malaysia
have been declared beyond tier 1. Only the DOE has the authority in declaring
the tier level. Nevertheless, the PIMMAG has a good working rapport with DOE
and Marine Department but has not cooperated with these government agencies on
various initiatives regarding the oil spill responses which did not incorporate their
registered members. The reported cases of joint effort toward oil spill incidents are
shown in Table 7.3.
7.5 Collaboration Efforts
As of 73 of the oil spill cases, it showed that 50 cases were handled solely by the
DOE [12, 13]. There were 23 cases have collaborated with other responsible parties
such as the Marine Department, MMEA, port operator, Royal Malaysia Police, Royal
Navy Malaysia, and Fishery Department [12, 13]. There was only one collaboration
involving the PIMMAG in 2017 at Pasir Gudang Port, Johor as shown in Table 7.3.
