Presentation for: Green Pacific Conference
21 September 2010, Seattle, WA
Marine Vessel Environmental Performance and Rating System (MVeP)(Voluntary Best Management Practices)
Presented by: Kevin Reynolds, The Glosten Associates
“How Green is Green?” - MVeP Holistic Approach to Marine Vessels
Mission Statement: “Provide a common technical basis for assessing environmental performance, so that marine vessel designers, builders, and operators can understand relative environmental impacts of design decisions and operational practices.”
Objective and Approach - MVeP
Objective: Minimize Marine Vessel Environmental Impact
Approach:• Leverage Existing Best Practices• Team Industry, Environmental Groups, and Regulatory Agencies for
Practical Solutions• Provide Technical Basis for
Evaluation, SNAME Technical & Research Publication
• Recognize Industry Leaders and Exemplary Performance
• Encourage VOLUNTARY Implementation Ahead of Regulation
Development & Implementation – MVeP
Phase I Sponsors: Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, and American Bureau of Shipping.
Phase I Project Team: Glosten Associates with review from SNAME T&R, Herbert Engineering Corporation, and Slater & Zeien.
Phase II Sponsors: Under Development.
Phase II Administration Team: SNAME T&R, Alaris, Seaworthy Systems, Wartsila, University of New Orleans, and The Glosten Associates.
Phase II Technical Partners: Quickly Filling – Goal Complete by December.

Good – Develop, execute, and document a ballast water plan to meet near land limits set by the California Marine Invasive Species Act – Interim Standard
Best – p = V1T1+ V2T2+V3T3+ V4T4
p = Propagule pressure numerical equivalent
V = Volume of Discharge (V1: w/o treatment or exchange V2: exchanged V3: treated to IMO levels V4: treated to California levels)
T = (100, 84, 48, 12)
Zero Impact – No discharge within 200 nm of any coastline
Bridging Technical Development to Implementation (Phase III)
Level 1 – Standard Practice _ Establish Minimum Measures : Regulatory Requirements Plus .
Level 3 – Best Practice_ Define Metric in T&R Bulletin for Performance Based Measures
Level 4 – Zero Impact_ Establish zero impact definition
Phase 2SNAME T &R Bulletin
Phase 3Third Party
Implementation
_ Establish Baseline Methodology_ Develop Implementation Timelines_ Evaluate New vs . Existing Vessel Considerations_ Subdivide Credits for Focused Recognition (i.e., air pollution )
_ Determine Value of Performance vs . Baseline
Level 2 – Good Practice_ Identify prescriptive measures currently working well
_ Determine relative value of prescriptive measures
