In the case of the Anapaya, the Coast Guard was the sole responder. For the contractors we used, the Coast Guard absorbed those expenses and is now pursuing the owner. We have the ship-source oil pollution fund while we're looking for ownership.
In some of the bigger cases, when there is a known polluter, it will be a co-operative incident command framework. The incident action plan is approved by the known owner, and we work with the province and local government to develop the action plan. Those that are part of the incident command structure would have their expenses funded through the owner during the actual incident. If the owner is unknown, then the Coast Guard will get the job done, and we pursue the cost recovery after the operation is over.
