Chairman's remarks 1.5 The Chairman thanked the Secretary-General for his opening address and stated that the Secretary-General's advice and requests would be given every consideration in the deliberations of the Committee, in particular his appeal to all Members to work together to achieve consensus on the issue of energy efficiency for ships. Adoption of the agenda and provisional timetable 1.6 The Committee adopted the agenda as contained in document MEPC 62/1. The agenda, as adopted, with a list of documents considered under each agenda item, is set out in document MEPC 62/INF.42. 1.7 In considering the provisional timetable contained in annex 2 to document MEPC 62/1/1, the Chairman, with a view to conducting the work of the Committee in a more efficient manner, proposed an order of discussion in a revised provisional timetable, including a proposal to consider the documents submitted under item 6 in two parts:

Part I: referred to as "item 6.1", was to consider, separately, the draft amendments to MARPOL Annex IV (Designation of the Baltic Sea as a Special Area); Annex V (Revised Annex V); and Annex VI (Designation of the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area and other related matters); and

Part II: referred to as "item 6.2", was to consider the draft amendments to

MARPOL Annex VI (Mandatory technical and operational measures on energy efficiency for ships); and this "item 6.2" was to be considered after items 4 and 5.

1.8 The delegation of Brazil proposed in a statement that all documents related to greenhouse gas (GHG) issues under agenda item 6 should be considered by a working group under agenda item 5 which addresses reduction of GHG emissions from ships. As requested, the statement is set out in annex 1. A number of delegations expressed support for the proposal by the delegation of Brazil. 1.9 A number of other delegations expressed support for an intervention by the delegation of Norway, advocating that the documents which had been submitted under agenda item 6 were intended as proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on energy efficiency of ships or comments thereon and, therefore, they should be considered under item 6. 1.10 The Chairman clarified that items 4 and 5 would be addressed prior to item 6 and that all technical and policy issues on GHG emissions from ships would therefore be addressed before actual consideration of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on energy efficiency of ships, at which time a decision would be taken on the nature of the group to be established. He also clarified that, if any delegations wished their submission under item 6 to be considered under item 5, that could be accommodated when the latter agenda item was being considered. 1.11 The Committee, having noted the above clarifications, reached agreement on the revised provisional timetable proposed by the Chairman, bearing in mind that the timetable was subject to adjustments depending on the progress made each day. Credentials 1.12 The Committee noted that credentials of the delegations attending the session were in due and proper order.

2 HARMFUL AQUATIC ORGANISMS IN BALLAST WATER 2.1 The Committee recalled that the "International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004" (BWM Convention) had been open for accession by any State since 31 May 2005 and noted that two more States (Islamic Republic of Iran and Malaysia) had acceded to the Convention since the last MEPC session, which brought the number of contracting Governments to 28, representing 26.37% of the world's merchant fleet tonnage. The Committee urged the other Member States to ratify the Convention at their earliest possible opportunity. REPORTS OF THE FIFTEENTH, SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH MEETINGS OF THE GESAMP-BWWG 2.2 The Committee noted that the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth meetings of the GESAMP-BWWG were held from 13 to 17 December 2010, from 28 February to 4 March 2011 and from 2 to 6 May 2011, respectively, at IMO Headquarters, under the chairmanship of Mr. Jan Linders. During the three meetings, the GESAMP-BWWG had reviewed a total of 11 proposals for approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances, submitted by Germany, Greece, Japan (three proposals), Republic of Korea (four proposals) and Singapore (two proposals). Basic Approval 2.3 The Committee, having considered the recommendations contained in annexes 5 and 6 of the "Report of the fifteenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG" (MEPC 62/2/11), the recommendations contained in annexes 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the "Report of the sixteenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG" (MEPC 62/2/12) as well as the recommendations contained in annex 7 of the "Report of the seventeenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG" (MEPC 62/2/18), agreed to grant Basic Approval to:

Final Approval 2.5 The Committee, having considered the recommendations contained in annexes 5 and 6 of the report of the seventeenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG (MEPC 61/2/18) agreed to grant Final Approval to:

.1 HHI Ballast Water Management System HiBallast (Filter Version), proposed by the Republic of Korea in document MEPC 62/2/5; and

.2 Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (SHI) Ballast Water Management

System (Purimar™), proposed by the Republic of Korea in document MEPC 62/2/6.

2.6 Having noted that the initial application for Final Approval of Purimar™ Ballast Water Management System was submitted by Techwin Eco Co., Ltd., which was subsequently acquired by Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., the Committee agreed with the request of the Republic of Korea to reflect these changes in the report. 2.7 The Committee then invited the Administration of the Republic of Korea to verify that all the recommendations made in the report of the seventeenth meeting, annexes 5 and 6, are fully addressed prior to the issuance of Type Approval Certificates. 2.8 Having examined the recommendations contained in annex 4 of the report of the fifteenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG (MEPC 62/2/11) and annex 4 of the report of the seventeenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG (MEPC 62/2/18), the Committee did not agree to grant Final Approval to Special Pipe Hybrid Ballast Water Management System combined with PERACLEAN® Ocean (SPO-SYSTEM) proposed by Japan in document MEPC 61/2/10 and to AquaStarTM Ballast Water Management System proposed by the Republic of Korea in document MEPC 62/2/4 for the reasons given in annexes 4 of the above reports. 2.9 Following an intervention by the United States with regard to situations when incomplete information on proposals for approval of ballast water management systems was submitted to MEPC, the Committee instructed the Ballast Water Review Group (BWRG) to consider mechanisms for providing all relevant information in the non-confidential submissions related to such proposals. Future meetings of the GESAMP-BWWG 2.10 The Committee noted that 11 submissions for either Basic or Final Approval had been received by the deadline of 17 December 2010. Despite the efforts made by the GESAMP-BWWG and the Secretariat, due to the limited time between the above deadline and MEPC 62, the Group could only meet twice (GESAMP-BWWG 16 and GESAMP-BWWG 17) and was able to evaluate only the first eight proposals for approval in the chronological order of their submission. The Committee noted with appreciation that, with a view to facilitating the consideration of as many ballast water management systems as possible and in anticipation of a similar workload for the year 2012, the GESAMP-BWWG had agreed to hold an extraordinary meeting (GESAMP-BWWG 18), scheduled from 5 to 9 September 2011, to evaluate the remaining three proposals described in documents MEPC 62/2/8 (Republic of Korea), MEPC 62/2/9 (Japan) and MEPC 62/2/10 (Germany), the outcome of which would be reported to MEPC 63. 2.11 The Committee also noted that the next regular meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG (i.e. the nineteenth meeting) had been tentatively scheduled from 31 October to 4 November 2011 and invited Members to submit their proposals for approval

(application dossiers) and the non-confidential description of their ballast water management systems to MEPC 63, as soon as possible but not later than 2 September 2011. 2.12 The Committee further noted that, recognizing the possibility that more than four proposals may be submitted for review by the Group and approval by MEPC 63, the GESAMP-BWWG had expressed its availability to have an additional meeting, in December 2011/January 2012, to accommodate as many proposals as possible provided that all necessary conditions for organizing such a meeting are met (MEPC 62/2/18, section 3 of the report of the seventeenth meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG). Other matters emanating from the GESAMP-BWWG meetings 2.13 Having received the recommendations of the GESAMP-BWWG regarding the optimization of the evaluation of the proposals for approval, the Committee agreed to:

.1 request the applicants and the submitting Administrations to provide the full data set, in accordance with the Methodology for information gathering and conduct of work of the GESAMP-BWWG, to avoid difficult and time consuming communication with the applicants during the meeting of the Group;

.2 request the applicants/Administrations to make available publicly, the data

related to safety and environmental protection, including physical/chemical properties, environmental fate and toxicity in accordance with the provision contained in paragraph 8.1.1 of Procedure (G9) regarding the information which should not be considered confidential; and

.3 encourage the applicants/Administrations to provide complete electronic

versions (CD-ROM or pen drive) of the entire application dossier to facilitate enhanced efficiency of the evaluation process.

2.14 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 agreed to extend the "trial period" for the face-to-face meetings between the GESAMP-BWWG and Administrations/applicants, which were to take place at least during two sessions of the GESAMP-BWWG, with a view to gaining sufficient experience. This extension of the trial was to include an entire MEPC intersessional period to ensure that face-to-face meetings are available to all applicants in that period. 2.15 The Committee noted that, at the request of the Administration of Japan, a meeting with the representatives of the manufacturer of Special Pipe Hybrid Ballast Water Management System combined with PERACLEAN® Ocean (SPO-SYSTEM) was organized on 15 December 2010. Having examined the conclusions of the Group, the Committee noted that the discussions largely reiterated the information already provided by e-mail in the written response to the Group's questions and concurred with the Group's view that the already existing system of written communication with the applicants by e-mail, which has been tested during the last five years, is more effective, ensures accurate record keeping, allows for detailed and documented response from the applicants and avoids unnecessary delays/disruptions in the work of the Group. 2.16 Following an intervention by the delegation of Germany, which pointed out that the trial period was supposed to cover two face-to-face meetings during the sessions of the GESAMP-BWWG, the Committee agreed to extend the trial period.

ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENTS RELATED TO THE EVALUATION AND APPROVAL OF BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 2.17 The Committee recalled that MEPC 60 agreed with the recommendation of the GESAMP-BWWG to hold a third stocktaking workshop to continue the development of adequate "tools" to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of its work and noted that the workshop was held at IMO Headquarters, London, from 4 to 6 April 2011, under the chairmanship of Mr. Jan Linders. 2.18 The Committee noted the outcome of the Third Stocktaking Workshop contained in document MEPC 62/2/14 (Secretariat) and endorsed the proposal of the Group to conduct yearly stocktaking meetings without the pressure of having to review the proposals for approval of ballast water management systems. 2.19 The Committee noted with appreciation the information provided in document MEPC 62/INF.19 (Germany) regarding a proposal for a harmonized Emission Scenario Document (ESD) on ballast water discharge. 2.20 The Committee noted the information contained in documents MEPC 61/INF.5 (Secretariat) and MEPC 61/2/20 (CEFIC), deferred to this session by MEPC 61, as well as MEPC 62/2/20 (CEFIC) and MEPC 62/INF.40 (Secretariat) updating the information in the former documents relating to administrative and financial aspects of the GESAMP-BWWG activities and proposals designed to increase the efficiency of the Group and promote the ratification, entry into force, implementation and enforcement of the BWM Convention. 2.21 In this regard, the Committee noted that the proposals related to the Group's efficiency had been superseded by the information contained in document MEPC 62/INF.40 and concluded by recommending that the Secretary-General establishes a trust fund using US$300,000 from the unspent balance of funds deriving from the GESAMP-BWWG fee income, to provide technical assistance to developing countries on the BWM Convention for the purposes indicated above. The Committee also noted that the Secretariat would, in accordance with its usual practices, communicate with relevant Administrations seeking their concurrence with the establishment of the aforementioned trust fund. 2.22 Noting that, in accordance with the IMO Convention, matters related to the Organization's finances were for the Council to consider, the Chairman closed this subject to future discussion, with the Committee considering the related technical co-operation issues under the appropriate agenda item. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BWM CONVENTION 2.23 Having considered document MEPC 62/2/13 (Belgium and the Netherlands) providing information regarding hopper dredgers and the interpretation of the co-sponsors concerning the water present in the hopper area, the Committee concurred with the conclusions contained in this document and agreed that water present in the hopper area is not considered ballast water and instructed the BWRG to prepare a draft BWM circular to reflect this decision. 2.24 Following consideration of document MEPC 62/2/15 (WWF, IUCN and CSC) expressing concern with regard to the fact that the rate of bioinvasions continues to increase at alarming rates and urging responsible flag States to adhere to their international commitments to both protect the planet and to ensure a cleaner shipping industry, the Committee reiterated the invitation to flag States – indeed all Member States – that have not yet ratified the BWM Convention to do so at their earliest convenience.

2.25 Having considered document MEPC 62/2/16 (IACS) regarding the application schedule of the D-2 standard for ships described in regulation B-3.4 of the BWM Convention and the comments made by the delegation of the United States supported by Germany, the Committee instructed the BWRG to consider the interpretation on the application schedule of the D-2 standard provided by IACS and agree on the draft text to expand on circular BWM.2/Circ.29 to include ships described in paragraph 4 of regulation B-3 of the BWM Convention. 2.26 The Committee, having considered document MEPC 62/2/19 (IACS) proposing a correction to the Guidelines on design and construction to facilitate sediment control on ships (G12) and the comments provided by ICS, instructed the BWRG to review the corrections proposed by IACS and advise on the necessary changes. 2.27 The Committee noted with appreciation the information contained in document MEPC 62/INF.31 (IMarEST) on logistics of compliance assessment and enforcement of the Ballast Water Management Convention. REVIEW OF THE STATUS OF BALLAST WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOCUSING ON LARGER SHIPS 2.28 The Committee recalled that, in anticipation of the possible entry into force of the BWM Convention in 2012, MEPC 61 agreed that a new review of ballast water treatment technologies, focused on larger ships (with ballast water capacity of 5,000 cubic metres or more, in particular those with higher flow rate) would be necessary and decided to re-establish the BWRG at this session. 2.29 Following consideration of document MEPC 62/2/17 (ICS) regarding the supply of ballast water management systems to new and existing ships, the Committee agreed to:

.1 urge the ballast water management systems manufacturers to provide solutions for suitable type-approved systems to be installed on larger ships; and

.2 request the Review Group to discuss the challenges related to specialist

ship types described in document MEPC 61/2/13 (the Netherlands) and advise the Committee accordingly.

2.30 Having considered document MEPC 62/2/21 (United Kingdom) commenting on document MEPC 62/2/17 and providing an update on available ballast water technologies, the Committee agreed to refer this document to the BWRG for detailed consideration when conducting its review. 2.31 The Committee noted with appreciation the information regarding type approved ballast water management systems contained in the following documents:

.1 MEPC 62/INF.14 (Norway) on the Type Approval of the PureBallast 2.0 and PureBallast 2.0 Ex Ballast Water Management Systems;

.2 MEPC 62/INF.15 (Norway) on the Type Approval of the OceanSaver®

instructed the Secretariat to replace the old text and to prepare a new draft resolution for consideration and adoption by MEPC 63 (paragraph 8);

.4 noted the information provided by the Netherlands and the Marshall Islands

with regard to the implementation of the BWM Convention to specialist ship types and reiterated the invitation to Members and observers to propose practical solutions to the challenges identified at MEPC 61 (paragraph 10);

.5 urged proponents seeking approval of BWMS that use Active Substances

to thoroughly observe the provisions of paragraph 8.1.1 of Procedure (G9) and advised them that failure to provide the non-confidential information could result in Member States having insufficient data to approve the proposals when requested by the Committee (paragraphs 11 and 12);

.6 noted the recommendation of the BWRG that INF documents be used in

conjunction with proposals for approval to ensure that all safety and environmental protection data is made available (paragraph 13);

.7 encouraged Member States to make use of the provision contained in

paragraph 8.1.2.6 of Procedure (G9), especially with regard to incomplete or missing data in the non-confidential information regarding proposals for approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances, to assist the proponents in this respect (paragraph 14);

.8 noted that, despite some difficulties, ballast water treatment technologies

are available for certain types of vessels with high capacity and high flow rate and are currently being fitted on board some ships (paragraph 20);

.9 urged Member States and industry representatives to provide criteria and data to MEPC 63 in order to allow an informed and focused review of the availability of the ballast water management technology at a later stage (paragraph 21);

.10 agreed that a review be conducted once the Convention achieves its

ratification requirements and before it enters into force (paragraph 22); .11 noted that in the specific case described in document MEPC 62/INF.15,

Procedure (G9) was duly observed (paragraph 24); and .12 agreed to re-establish the Review Group at MEPC 63 in accordance with

the provisions of regulation D-5.1 of the BWM Convention (paragraph 25). 2.35 Following an intervention by the delegation of the United States, the Committee agreed with the editorial changes proposed for the new paragraph to expand on circular BWM.2/Circ.29 mentioned in subparagraph 2.34.2 above. 2.36 The Committee thanked the Chairman and the members of the BWRG for their hard work. 3 RECYCLING OF SHIPS 3.1 The Committee noted that the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (the Hong Kong Convention) had been signed subject to ratification by France, the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey and Saint Kitts and Nevis. The Committee encouraged countries to ratify the Convention. 3.2 The Committee recalled that, since the adoption of the Hong Kong Convention, MEPC 59 had adopted the "Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials". Thereafter, MEPC 60 had agreed that the guidelines on ship recycling facilities, on the Ship Recycling Plan, and on the authorization of the ship recycling facilities should be developed in parallel, in view of the close interrelationships between them. MEPC 60, MEPC 61 and the Correspondence Group on Ship Recycling Guidelines, that was established by both sessions of the Committee, had made progress in the development of the three guidelines, with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62. Planning of the work 3.3 The Committee had for its consideration 15 documents submitted under the item, including two information documents, covering the following issues:

.1 There were five submissions addressing the three guidelines currently under development. Three of these submissions, forming the report of the Correspondence Group, were submitted by the Group's coordinator, Japan (MEPC 62/3, MEPC 62/3/1, MEPC 62/3/2). The remaining two submissions proposed amendments to the draft text of the "Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling". In its submission (MEPC 62/3/4), France proposed text to ensure that the list of Hazardous Materials, to be addressed in the Ship Recycling Facility Plan, was more closely aligned to the text used in the "Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials". Also, France and IACS, in their joint submission (MEPC 62/3/11), proposed specific amendments to the section on safe-for-entry procedures, to take into account the work completed by

DSC 15, which was considered by MSC 89 which, in turn, approved a draft Assembly resolution on "Adoption of the Revised Recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard ships" for submission to the twenty-seventh session of the Assembly for adoption.

.2 There were six submissions proposing amendments to the "Guidelines for

the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials", adopted by resolution MEPC.179(59). China (MEPC 62/3/6) proposed three additional entries of potentially hazardous goods in Table C of appendix 1, and two editorial corrections in appendix 5 of the guidelines. IACS (MEPC 62/3/8) and China (MEPC 62/3/12) proposed that, as had been agreed at MEPC 61, the Committee should consider the definition of uniform testing methods within the guidelines, so that test results are comparable internationally. Both submissions proposed specific text to introduce definitive testing. China (MEPC 62/3/7) and ICS and industry co-sponsors (MEPC 62/3/10) recalled the pressing need for the development of threshold values and exemptions applicable to the materials that are to be listed in Inventories of Hazardous Materials. This was of specific relevance to sampling procedures, to the Ship Recycling Plan, and to the Convention's implementation and control procedures. China, in its submission, proposed specific threshold levels for certain hazardous materials, while ICS and industry co-sponsors provided lists of threshold values based on a provisional analysis and suggested the need for further substantive and expert work. Finally, IACS (MEPC 62/3/9) highlighted what it considered to be an unintentional drafting error in the guidelines, which could create serious consequences when compiling inventories, and proposed a simple textual amendment to address the problem. The Committee noted that many shipowners were already providing their ships with inventories of hazardous materials and that the early and voluntary implementation of the "Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials" had provided valuable experience, as was indicated by the six submissions to this session. The Committee was therefore invited to reflect the experience gained so far into appropriate amendments to the guidelines.

.3 There were two submissions on other matters. The Republic of Korea

(MEPC 62/3/3) provided an analysis of the elements to be included in the future development of a guidance document on the delegation by Competent Authorities to recognized organizations for the authorization of ship recycling facilities. That information would be particularly useful when the Committee would commence the development of the guidance document. The Committee also noted that the FSI Sub-Committee was developing a Code for recognized organizations which would provide a consolidated instrument (including resolutions A.739(18) and A.789(19)) containing criteria for assessing and authorizing recognized organizations. The draft RO Code should be completed at FSI 20 and submitted to MSC 90 and MEPC 64. The second submission was by China (MEPC 62/3/5) who had identified that the text of the Hong Kong Convention required a definition for the term "similar stage of construction", and also that an inconsistency in the text of Appendix 5 needed to be corrected. As the Convention could not be amended until it entered into force, the Committee thanked China and suggested that its proposals would be discussed at the appropriate time in the future. For the interim period, it was suggested that China could consider proposing to the

Working Group on Guidelines for Ship Recycling that the missing definition could be addressed as an amendment to the Inventory Guidelines, while the identified inconsistency in Appendix 5 of the Convention could possibly be addressed in the Authorization Guidelines.

.4 Finally, there were two information documents. The first one, by the

Secretariat (MEPC 62/INF.13), was intended to assist the Committee and other stakeholders to reach a better understanding of the conditions for the Convention's entry into force. The document presented the compilation of published ship recycling volume data that will be used by the Depositary for determining the entry-into-force condition on ship recycling volume, in accordance with resolution MEPC.178(59). The second document, by the World Bank (MEPC 62/INF.27), invited the Committee to note its report "Ship Breaking and Recycling Industry in Bangladesh and Pakistan", which examined the productivity, competitiveness, economics, and environmental performance of the ship recycling industry in Bangladesh and Pakistan. The report explained that both countries faced considerable infrastructural needs and concerted efforts were required to achieve adequate institutional capacity and enforcement. The World Bank had concluded that achieving compliance with the Hong Kong Convention would be possible through a strong public-private partnership and with adequate technical and investment assistance.

3.4 On a proposal by the Chairman, the Committee agreed to present and discuss in plenary only the reports of the Correspondence Group, while the remaining documents would be introduced in and considered by the Working Group. Development of the guidelines 3.5 In considering the reports of the intersessional Correspondence Group (MEPC 62/3, MEPC 62/3/1 and MEPC 62/3/2), the Committee thanked Japan for its continuing contribution as coordinator of the Group and all the members of the Group for their excellent work. Furthermore, the Committee noted that some of the Group's work took place in the aftermath of Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 2011, and expressed its sincere appreciation to the Chairman of the Group and his colleagues who persisted in completing their task in very difficult circumstances. 3.6 The Committee agreed to establish a working group to consider the reports of the intersessional Correspondence Group as a basis for the further development of the "Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling", the "Guidelines for the development of the Ship Recycling Plan" and the "Guidelines on the authorization of the ship recycling facilities". The Working Group was requested to ensure that the guidelines would: (1) be user-friendly; (2) not be overly complicated; (3) create no overlaps or conflicts with other guidelines or the Hong Kong Convention; and (4) not go beyond the scope of the Hong Kong Convention. The Committee also agreed to instruct the Working Group to develop draft amendments to the "Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials", as adopted by resolution MEPC.179(59), with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62, taking into account the comments and proposals in the submissions to this session. Establishment of the Working Group on Guidelines for Ship Recycling 3.7 Having considered the above issues, the Committee established the Working Group on Guidelines for Ship Recycling under the chairmanship of Dr. Claude Wohrer (France) with the following Terms of Reference:

"Taking into account comments, proposals and decisions made in plenary, the Working Group on Guidelines for Ship Recycling is instructed to:

.1 further develop the draft "Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound

ship recycling" with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62, using as a basis the text contained in document MEPC 62/3 and taking into account the comments and proposals in documents MEPC 62/3/4 and MEPC 62/3/11;

.2 further develop the draft "Guidelines for the development of the Ship

Recycling Plan" with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62, using as a basis the text contained in document MEPC 62/3/1;

.3 further develop the draft "Guidelines for the authorization of Ship Recycling

Facilities" with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62, using as a basis the text contained in document MEPC 62/3/2;

.4 develop draft amendments to the "Guidelines for the development of the

Inventory of Hazardous Materials", as adopted by resolution MEPC.179(59), with a view to their adoption at MEPC 62, taking into account the comments and proposals in documents MEPC 62/3/6, MEPC 62/3/7, MEPC 62/3/8, MEPC 62/3/9, MEPC 62/3/10 and MEPC 62/3/12;

.5 consider and recommend if an intersessional correspondence group on

ship recycling guidelines should be established; and, if so, develop draft terms of reference for the group; and

.6 submit a written report to plenary on Thursday, 14 July 2011."

Report of the Working Group on Guidelines for Ship Recycling 3.8 The Committee considered and approved the report of the Working Group (MEPC 62/WP.9) in general and, in particular (paragraph and annex numbers are those of document MEPC 62/WP.9):

.1 noted the progress made by the Group on the development of the draft "Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling" (paragraphs 4 to 9 and annex 1);

.2 adopted the "2011 Guidelines for the development of the Ship Recycling

Plan" by resolution MEPC.196(62), as set out in annex 2, as the guidelines had been finalized and agreed by the Group (paragraphs 10 to 17), and revoked MEPC/Circ.419, of 12 November 2004, on "Guidelines for the development of the Ship Recycling Plan", as their contents have been superseded by the 2011 guidelines;

.3 noted the progress made by the Group on the development of the

draft "Guidelines for the authorization of Ship Recycling Facilities" (paragraphs 18 to 24 and annex 3);

.4 adopted the "2011 Guidelines for the development of the Inventory of

Hazardous Materials" by resolution MEPC.197(62), as set out in annex 3, as the guidelines had been finalized and agreed by the Group (paragraphs 25 to 28); and

.5 agreed to the re-establishment of the intersessional Correspondence Group on Ship Recycling Guidelines, under the coordination of Japan1 and approved the terms of reference for the Group as follows:

"On the basis of the outcome of MEPC 62 and the report of the Working Group (MEPC 62/WP.9), the Correspondence Group on Ship Recycling Guidelines is instructed to:

.1 further develop and, if possible, finalize the draft text of the

"Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling", based on the text contained in annex 1 to document MEPC 62/WP.9, taking into account documents MEPC 62/3/4 and MEPC 62/3/11, with a view to their adoption at MEPC 63;

.2 further develop and, if possible, finalize the draft text of the

"Guidelines for the authorization of Ship Recycling Facilities", based on the text contained in annex 3 to document MEPC 62/WP.9, with a view to their adoption at MEPC 63;

.3 if possible, commence the development of the draft text of the

"Guidelines for survey and certification under the Hong Kong Convention", taking into account documents MEPC 55/3/6, MEPC 56/3/3, MEPC 56/3/7 and MEPC 56/3/11;

.4 if possible, commence the development of the draft text of the

"Guidelines for inspection of ships under the Hong Kong Convention"; and

.5 report the outcome of its deliberations to MEPC 63."

3.9 The delegation of France stated that, whilst welcoming the adoption of the two guidelines, it would have preferred to have adopted the "Guidelines for the development of the Ship Recycling Plan" as interim guidelines, because they are linked to the requirements of the draft "Guidelines for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling", and of the draft "Guidelines for the authorization of Ship Recycling Facilities", neither of which were ready for adoption at the sixty-second session, and also because there had been no experience from the implementation of the "Guidelines for the development of the Ship Recycling Plan". However, the delegation of France acknowledged that the issue had been discussed by the Working Group which had agreed not to recommend the adoption of interim guidelines, in order to avoid confusion to stakeholders and also because the guidelines would, in any case, remain under review. 3.10 The Committee thanked the Chairman and the members of the Working Group for their hard work.

.7 Other air pollution issues.

Outcome of BLG 15 4.3 The Committee recalled that the BLG Sub-Committee was instructed to update and develop guidelines and to consider the need for further guidance on several issues relating to the implementation of MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code 2008. Fuel oil quality 4.4 The Committee recalled also that MEPC 61 considered the revised specification of marine fuels ISO 8217:2010, taking into account issues regarding fuel oil characteristics and parameters addressing air quality, ship safety, engine performance and crew health. MEPC 61 agreed that relevant documents, as well as comments raised, should be further considered in detail by BLG 15. 4.5 The Committee noted that BLG 15 considered these issues in detail and concluded that more information and data were required to enable appropriate consideration on matters related to the revised specification of marine fuels (ISO 8217:2010), the limit of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), as well as the need and design of a possible new mechanism for quality control of marine fuels. 4.6 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/4 (Norway and INTERTANKO) providing follow-up information from proposals to BLG 15 (BLG 15/11/4) on the impact of bunker quality problems reported by ships and identifying, as examples, some such instances during recent years. 4.7 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/11 (Norway) proposing that the Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) should be expanded to include additional fuel parameters that ISO, in document MEPC 59/4/3, considered relevant to seafarers' health, safety of the ship and air emissions. 4.8 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/12 (Norway) proposing that the 2009 Guidelines for sampling of fuel oil for determination of compliance with the revised MARPOL Annex VI (resolution MEPC.182(59)) should be amended to include guidelines for sampling of fuel oil from tanks, due to the fact that, in some port State controls, fuel samples are taken directly from the ship's tanks in order to verify the actual fuel used on board the ship. The document suggested that the verification of a tank sample should always be accompanied by a verification test of the MARPOL sample to confirm that the fuel delivered and the fuel in the tanks are of the same origin/source. 4.9 The Committee exchanged views on the fuel oil specification and the need for additional quality control prior to delivery to ships. The majority of delegations was of the view that there was no need to introduce any additional parameters into the mandatory Bunker Delivery Note, as this would be a duplication of effort. The delegation of Norway made three interventions during the debate related to fuel oil quality. As requested, the interventions are set out in annex 4.

4.10 The Committee noted that there was a need to establish separate procedures for sampling fuel oil being used on board ships to verify compliance with the provisions of regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI. 4.11 The Marshall Islands expressed its objection to specify regulation 14 in the Terms of Reference to the BLG Sub-Committee in this regard, based on the understanding that direct sampling from fuel oil tanks is not specified as a means to determine compliance with MARPOL Annex VI. 4.12 The Committee agreed to develop an appropriate procedure for sampling of fuel oil for port State control and flag State inspection. However, it did not agree to the proposal for a verification test of a tank sample to be accompanied by a verification test of the MARPOL sample. 4.13 The Committee noted that there remained concerns related to fuel oil sampling which the Committee needed to address, and agreed that the matter should be re-considered by the BLG Sub-Committee. It instructed the Working Group to develop draft Terms of Reference for BLG with 2012 as the target completion year for this work. Emissions of Black Carbon from international shipping 4.14 The Committee recalled that, since MEPC 58, it had considered documents providing summaries and analyses of various approaches to reduce emissions of climate forcing agents from international shipping, which included information on the impact of Black Carbon. 4.15 The Committee recalled also that MEPC 60 held a debate on whether separate actions were needed to reduce shipping emissions of Black Carbon in the Arctic region and how this should relate to the general work on prevention of air pollution from ships under MARPOL Annex VI and the Organization's work on energy efficiency of ships. 4.16 The Committee recalled further that MEPC 61 agreed to invite interested delegations and observers to submit concrete proposals with specific measures to BLG 15. 4.17 The Committee noted that BLG 15, having considered relevant documents, requested the Committee to provide clearer instructions on how the matter of Black Carbon should be addressed. 4.18 The Committee noted also that several documents had been submitted for its consideration on emissions of Black Carbon from international shipping and, specifically, proposals for the development of a work plan to address the issue. 4.19 A number of delegations considered that there was a need for further scientific information before considering a work plan for this issue, and that the compelling need for the Organization to address the issue had not been established. A number of other delegations stated that the Committee had already agreed to address the reduction of emissions of Black Carbon and that the work plan proposed by Norway in document MEPC 62/4/10 was an appropriate way forward. In supporting the work plan, some delegations felt it should be limited to considering the impact of Black Carbon emissions in the Arctic. Also, a number of delegations reasoned that it was premature to consider the development of regulatory measures. 4.20 The Committee agreed to a work plan for the BLG Sub-Committee for consideration of the impact on the Arctic of emissions of Black Carbon from international shipping as follows:

.1 develop a definition for Black Carbon emissions from international shipping; .2 consider measurement methods for Black Carbon and identify the most

appropriate method for measuring Black Carbon emissions from international shipping;

.3 investigate appropriate control measures to reduce the impact of Black

Carbon emissions from international shipping; and .4 submit a final report to MEPC 65, where the Committee should agree on

the appropriate action(s). 4.21 The Committee noted the additional information provided in documents MEPC 62/4/3 by UNECE, MEPC 62/4/16 by CSC, FOEI, Pacific Environment and WWF, MEPC 62/4/18 by the Republic of Korea, MEPC 62/INF.32 and MEPC 62/INF.33 by Clean Shipping Coalition and instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to consider them further, as necessary, under the terms of the agreed work plan. Review of the status of the technological developments to implement the Tier III NOx standards (MARPOL Annex VI, regulation 13.10) 4.22 The Committee recalled that BLG 15 requested the Secretariat to prepare a document outlining the requirements of the Tier III NOX review (BLG 15/19, paragraph 11.54) and submit the document to this session of the Committee in order to progress the review process. 4.23 The Committee considered the draft Terms of Reference as prepared by the Secretariat in document MEPC 62/4/9, comments on the same in document MEPC 62/4/20 by the United States and document MEPC 62/4/2 by ICOMIA. 4.24 The Committee agreed to establish a correspondence group under the coordination of the United States2, rather than an expert group, to review the status of the technological developments to implement the Tier III NOx emissions standard with the following Terms of Reference:

"1 The Correspondence Group (NOx-CG) is instructed to review the status of technological developments to implement the Tier III NOx emissions standards as required under regulation 13.10 of MARPOL Annex VI and shall:

.1 consider the matter, including deliberation of what information and data are pertinent for the review and how that information and data should be collated and analysed;

.2 using this data and any other information, consider the status of

technological developments to implement the standards set forth in regulation 13.5.1.1 of MARPOL Annex VI, with a view to reporting on the following:

MEPC 65 in 2013." SCR guidelines and possible amendments to the NOx Technical Code 2008 4.25 The Committee recalled that BLG 15 agreed on the need to amend the NOx Technical Code 2008 (NTC 2008) to provide more flexibility in the survey and certification process of large marine diesel engines fitted with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems (Scheme B). BLG 15 developed draft amendments to the NTC 2008 (annex 7 to document BLG 15/19) and draft Guidelines addressing additional aspects to the NOx Technical Code 2008 with regard to particular requirements related to marine diesel engines fitted with SCR systems (annex 8 to document BLG 15/19). 4.26 The Committee recalled also that BLG 15 did not conclude on whether to retain or delete paragraph 7.7 of the draft SCR Guidelines, but agreed to invite MEPC 62 to decide. 4.27 The Committee considered comments on the draft amendments to the NTC 2008 and the draft SCR Guidelines in documents MEPC 62/4/13 (United States and Ireland), MEPC 62/4/14 (China), MEPC 62/4/15 (China), MEPC 62/11/5 (Germany) and MEPC 62/11/8 (IACS), and in particular, whether the aforementioned paragraph 7.7 should be retained or deleted.

4.28 After an exchange of views, the Committee agreed to retain paragraph 7.7 of the draft SCR guidelines, and to forward the draft guidelines to the Working Group for finalization with a view to adoption at this session. The Committee noted that, in addition to the provisions for verification under the NTC 2008, the retention of paragraph 7.7 may require the development of specific guidance for in-service verification of the combined engine/NOx-reducing device. The Committee also agreed to forward the draft amendments to the NTC 2008, to allow for scheme B, to the Working Group for finalization with a view to approval at this session. Guidelines for reception facilities under MARPOL Annex VI 4.29 The Committee recalled that BLG 15 developed draft Guidelines for reception facilities under MARPOL Annex VI, set out in annex 9 to document BLG 15/19, and agreed to forward the draft Guidelines for reception facilities to the Working Group for finalization, with a view to approval at this session. Outcome of FSI 19 4.30 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 requested the FSI Sub-Committee to update MEPC.1/Circ.718 on the revised form of supplement to the IAPP Certificate, taking into account the "Guidance on the timing of replacement of existing certificates by certificates issued after entry into force of amendments to certificates in IMO instruments" (MSC-MEPC.5/Circ.6). FSI 19 developed a draft MEPC circular on the revised form of supplement to the IAPP Certificate to amend MEPC.1/Circ.718, as set out in annex 5 to document FSI 19/19. 4.31 The Committee approved the draft MEPC circular on the revised form of supplement to the IAPP Certificate to amend MEPC.1/Circ.718 (FSI 19/19/Add.1, annex 5) and requested the Secretariat to issue it as MEPC.1/Circ.757. 4.32 The Committee noted paragraph 2.8 of document MEPC 62/11/1 on the perceived port State control problem regarding the first issuance of an IAPP Certificate to a new building, prior to the ship having received any bunkers and, consequently, when not being in possession of the required bunker delivery notes. The Committee agreed to invite interested delegations and observers to submit proposals to MEPC 63 on how the perceived problem should be addressed. Provisions for shipboard incineration under regulation 16 of MARPOL Annex VI 4.33 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/7/7 (Russian Federation) proposing amendments to regulation 16.4 of MARPOL Annex VI with regard to the incineration of sewage sludge and sludge oil in main plants. 4.34 The majority of delegations was of the view that there was no compelling need to amend regulation 16.4 of MARPOL Annex VI and the Committee agreed to take no action on the proposal. 4.35 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/7/6 (IACS) raising matters related to fire protection of incinerator spaces and waste stowage spaces, and proposing that the matter should be referred to the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). 4.36 The Committee agreed to forward the document to the Sub-Committee on Fire Protection for consideration with a view to advising both MSC and MEPC as to whether the survey and certification of fire protection of incinerator spaces and waste stowage spaces should fall under SOLAS or MARPOL.

Notifications to the Organization under MARPOL Annex VI Development of a GISIS module for MARPOL Annex VI 4.37 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/1 (Secretariat) presenting a draft GISIS module developed by the Secretariat as a possible portal for Parties to MARPOL Annex VI to make mandatory notifications to the Organization and to provide easy access to this information for the shipping industry. 4.38 The Committee noted the availability of the GISIS module for MARPOL Annex VI notifications and considered whether notification via GISIS fulfilled the requirements under MARPOL Annex VI on Contracting Parties' obligations to notify the Organization, and, once notified via GISIS, whether the requirement under MARPOL Annex VI for the Organization to transmit the information received to all Member States is fulfilled. 4.39 The Committee noted that the matter of notifications via GISIS will be considered in detail at the next session of the FSI Sub-Committee, when it will also consider the relevant issues raised in document MEPC 62/4/1, as applicable, for other conventions.

Notification of approved method under regulations 13.7.1 and 13.7.2 4.40 The Committee noted that MEPC.1/Circ.738 on certification of an approved method for certain MAN B&W S70MC engines was issued on 19 October 2010, and that MEPC.1/Circ.743 for certain WÄRTSILÄ RTA engines was issued on 17 February 2011. 4.41 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/7/8 (IACS) emphasizing that the information contained in these circulars was considered insufficient for implementing the relevant survey and proposing a clarification of the information to be included in the relevant IMO circular notifying the certification of an approved method. 4.42 In response to the above, the delegations of Denmark and Germany agreed to provide further information for clarification. However, both stated that MEPC.1/Circ.738 and MEPC.1/Circ.743 should neither be withdrawn, as proposed in document MEPC 62/7/8, nor put on hold, as the approval and notification procedures are in full compliance with MARPOL Annex VI and the applicable requirements of NTC 2008, and thus valid. Future applications for an approved method should be dealt with in the same manner taking into account the request for some additional procedural information. 4.43 The Committee agreed to forward the document to the Working Group for further consideration with a view to identifying the information required in the notification. Report of the Correspondence Group on Assessment of Availability of Fuel Oil under MARPOL Annex VI 4.44 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 established a Correspondence Group on Assessment of Availability of Fuel Oil under MARPOL Annex VI to develop the methodology to be used in the review required under regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI (MEPC 61/24, paragraph 4.30). 4.45 The Committee recalled also that a number of delegations at MEPC 61 expressed the view that it was premature to initiate the review at that stage, and that 2015 or 2016 would be the appropriate time to start considering the methodology for a review to be completed by 2018.

4.46 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/5 (United States) providing the report on the work of the Correspondence Group, including a summary of discussions, remaining issues, and a draft methodology framework. The Correspondence Group invited the Committee to consider a draft methodology framework set out at annex, and the information provided in document MEPC 62/INF.9. 4.47 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/4/21 (ICS) providing comments on document MEPC 62/4/5 on the need for early validation and refinement of the fuel availability model. 4.48 A number of delegations supported the proposal by ICS to undertake an early validation of the proposed fuel availability draft methodology by carrying out a preliminary study to provide fuel availability scenarios. However other delegations were of the view that to carry out such a preliminary study at this early stage, using 0.1% sulphur content supplied for use in Emission Control Areas, risked not leading to an effective validation of the draft methodology for global fuel oil supply as the scope of such a validation study would be, by definition, limited to those ECAs and so not a global validation. Further, it was considered that an assessment of the methodology after the 1 January 2015 implementation date for the 0.1% standard would enable the experiences gained after that date to be used in further development of the methodology for the global review. 4.49 Having noted the views expressed, the Committee agreed to defer the consideration of this matter and invite further submissions to its next session on the proposed draft methodology and related timetable for detailed consideration and action, as appropriate. Provisions for sulphur oxides and particulate matter under regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI 4.50 The Committee noted the following documents relating to sulphur provisions in marine fuel under regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI:

.1 MEPC 62/4 (Secretariat) on the outcome of the monitoring of the worldwide average sulphur content of marine fuel oils supplied for use on board ship through 2010. The monitoring reports sulphur content in distillate fuels for the first time, which shows that 72.06% of distillate fuels is below 0.1% sulphur content.

.2 MEPC 62/4/17 (ICS) on the potential impacts of the revised MARPOL

Annex VI regulations in the North Sea and Baltic Sea Sulphur Emission Control Areas through the implementation of the 0.1% sulphur requirement in 2015, which quantifies the potential volume of modal shift with respect to German operators and ports; and

.3 MEPC 62/4/19 (United States) on information with respect to published

studies of the potential impacts of MARPOL Annex VI fuel sulphur requirements that apply in designated Emission Control Areas, commenting on document MEPC 62/4/17.

Other air pollution issues 4.51 The Committee noted document MEPC 62/INF.8 (Republic of Korea) on the reduction of time for Engine Shop Test and the subsequent economic and environmental effects.

Ozone-depleting substances and coordination with UNEP 4.52 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 requested the Secretariat to continue liaising with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and its Secretariat of the Montreal Protocol (the Ozone Secretariat) on the correct procedures for purchasing of HCFCs in foreign ports. 4.53 The Committee noted that the Secretariat continued liaising with the Ozone Secretariat and made presentations on regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex VI at regional UNEP meetings in the Caribbean area and the Asia and Pacific Islands countries to promote a more detailed understanding of the Montreal Protocol and MARPOL Annex VI regulations. 4.54 The Committee agreed to request the Secretariat to continue liaising with the Ozone Secretariat and, if appropriate, to prepare a draft MEPC circular for consideration at its next session to facilitate the Committee's deliberation of the issue. Establishment of the Working Group on Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships 4.55 The Committee agreed to establish the Working Group on Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships with the following Terms of Reference:

"The Working Group on Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships is instructed, taking into account relevant documents as well as comments and decisions made in plenary, to:

.1 develop draft Terms of Reference for the BLG Sub-Committee's work on amendments to guidelines for the sampling of fuel oil used on board ships for one session only;

.2 finalize draft amendments to the NOx Technical Code to allow

certification under scheme B, with a view to approval at this session; .3 finalize the draft Guidelines addressing additional aspects to the

NOx Technical Code 2008 with regard to particular requirements related to marine diesel engines fitted with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, with a view to adoption at this session;

.4 finalize draft Guidelines for reception facilities under MARPOL

Annex VI, with a view to adoption at this session; .5 identify information to be included in the notification of an

approved method under regulations 13.7.1 and 13.7.2 of MARPOL Annex VI; and

.6 submit a written report to plenary on Thursday, 14 July 2011."

Action taken on the report of the Working Group 4.56 Having received and considered the report of the Working Group (MEPC 62/WP.10), the Committee approved it in general and, in particular (paragraph numbers are those of document MEPC 62/WP.10):

.1 endorsed the Terms of Reference for the BLG Sub-Committee's work on development of guidelines on the sampling procedure for fuel oil being used on board ships (paragraph 3.5);

.2 approved, with a view to circulation for subsequent adoption at its next session, the draft amendments to the NOx Technical Code 2008 to allow certification under scheme B (paragraph 4.3), as set out in annex 5;

.3 instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to consider the use of continuous

NOx monitoring to demonstrate compliance with the Tier III NOx emission limit (regulation 13.5.1) for two sessions (paragraph 5.5);

.4 instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to consider procedures to certify gas

fuelled engines, where engines operated solely on gas fuels are used to comply with Tier III NOx emission limits (paragraph 5.7);

.5 adopted the 2011 Guidelines addressing additional aspects of the

NOx Technical Code 2008 with regard to particular requirements related to marine diesel engines fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems (paragraph 5.11), by resolution MEPC.198(62), as set out in annex 6;

.6 adopted the 2011 Guidelines for reception facilities under MARPOL Annex VI

(paragraph 6.2), by resolution MEPC.199(62), as set out in annex 7; .7 noted that the notifiers of approved methods under regulations 13.7.1

and 13.7.2 of MARPOL Annex VI, disseminated by MEPC.1/Circ.738 and MEPC.1/Circ.743, agreed to provide additional guidance and information, as necessary, to identify engines which shall comply (paragraph 7.4); and

.8 instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to develop guidelines or a circular

(whichever is deemed more appropriate) covering the information to be submitted as part of the required notification from an Administration to IMO in respect of the approval of an Approved Method (paragraph 7.6).

5 REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS 5.1 The Committee recalled that significant progress had been made at its last session on all three building blocks in the Organization's GHG work, namely on technical, operational and market-based reduction measures. MEPC 61, having noted the necessity to develop appropriate inclusive working arrangements for further consideration of Market-Based Measures, agreed to hold an intersessional meeting dedicated to further progress on Market-Based Measures. With regard to technical and operational measures, MEPC 61 held extensive discussions and developed draft regulatory text for requirements of the EEDI and the SEEMP. MEPC 61, taking into account the need for further improvement of relevant Guidelines relating to the EEDI and the SEEMP, agreed to establish a correspondence group on energy efficiency measures for ships. Order of discussion 5.2 As suggested by the Chairman, the Committee agreed on the following order of discussions under this agenda item:

.1 guidelines related to the EEDI and SEEMP;

.2 other GHG issues;

.3 establishment of and Terms of Reference for the Working Group;

.4 policy and principles;

.5 market-based measures;

.6 UNFCCC matters; and

.7 reduction target for international shipping.

5.3 Having initially debated, on a renewed proposal by the delegation of Brazil, whether all GHG related documents under agenda item 6 should be considered under agenda item 5 and referred to a working group on energy efficiency, the Chairman recalled his statement under agenda item 1 that a decision on the nature of the group would be taken, following consideration in plenary of items 5 and 6. The delegations of Brazil, India, Peru and Poland made statements on matters of principle or policy concerning the reduction of GHG emissions from ships. As requested, the statements are set out in annex 8. Guidelines related to the EEDI and SEEMP 5.4 The Committee noted that, as agreed in principle at MEPC 61, a working group on GHG related issues would be re-established at this session under the Chairmanship of Mr. Koichi Yoshida (Japan). Technical documents to be considered by the Working Group 5.5 The Committee agreed that none of the technical documents would be introduced in plenary and would instead be referred directly to the Working Group following a brief debate in plenary, limited to providing the necessary instructions to the Working Group, and that the documents related to the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) would be considered first by the Working Group. The Committee noted that several documents submitted under agenda item 6 made comments on and proposed amendments to the guidelines on EEDI and should therefore also be forwarded to the Working Group for further consideration. Outcome of the Correspondence Group 5.6 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 developed draft Guidelines for the calculation of reference lines and draft Guidelines on survey and certification of the EEDI. However, due to time constraints, MEPC 61 could not consider the draft Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained EEDI for new ships and the draft Guidelines for development of a ship energy efficiency management plan. MEPC 61 agreed therefore to establish a correspondence group on energy efficiency measures for ships for further development of the remaining guidelines and its future work plan. 5.7 The Committee considered documents MEPC 62/5/4 and MEPC 62/5/18 (Japan) providing the report of the Correspondence Group on Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships. The Group had developed further the draft Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained EEDI for new ships and the draft Guidelines for the development of a SEEMP. The Group had also developed a draft work plan with timetable for the development of 1) EEDI frameworks for ship types and sizes, as well as propulsion systems not covered by the current EEDI requirements, and 2) remaining EEDI and SEEMP guidelines to be developed. 5.8 The Committee expressed its appreciation for the significant work undertaken by the Correspondence Group. 5.9 The Committee approved the report in general and instructed the Working Group to further improve the draft guidelines and further develop the draft work plan with a time schedule for future progress on technical and operational measures for ships.

Calculation method of the EEDI 5.10 The Committee noted document MEPC 62/5/6 (Greece) proposing that the EEDI formula could be improved by calculating it at a specified speed, depending on ship type and size, to ensure optimization of ship design for energy efficiency, and should be re-addressed, especially if an MBM proposal that is linked to the EEDI is considered further. 5.11 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/5/24 (Republic of Korea) proposing that, in the case of container ships, the EEDI should be calculated using 80% DWT capacity of a ship, instead of 65% DWT, in order to reflect the actual loading condition of container ships, and the relevant part of the draft Guidelines and reference values should be modified accordingly. 5.12 The observer delegation of the World Shipping Council (WSC) highlighted that WSC had undertaken extensive data collection of load factors of the global container shipping fleet, which indicated that the mean load factor for container ships is 71%. Therefore, the appropriate figure for the container ship capacity factor should be 70%. A number of delegations supported this position, noting that they had made similar findings in their investigations into the matter. 5.13 Some delegations considered that document MEPC 62/5/24 provided further evidence to demonstrate that the EEDI formula was not sufficiently developed and that it was premature for mandatory application. Other delegations considered the amendment of the container ship capacity factor from 65% to 70% to be fine tuning of the EEDI calculation formula only and a reasonable incremental amendment based on the most recent experience and data. 5.14 The Committee agreed that the EEDI value for container ships could be calculated using 70% DWT. The Committee instructed the Working Group on Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships to consider whether the capacity factor for container ships should therefore remain at 65% DWT or 70% DWT, and to amend relevant draft guidelines accordingly. 5.15 The Committee noted that, in agreeing to the amended capacity factor for container ships, along with other possible amendments made at the session, this would result in a consequential amendment to the reference line, and the parameters a and c, and would affect both the draft regulatory text and the guidelines. Other GHG issues Safety issues related to the EEDI – propulsion power and adverse weather conditions 5.16 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 held a debate on safety issues related to the EEDI, such as the possibility of under-powered ships and, to avoid any adverse effects on safety, agreed to insert a provision in the draft regulatory text stating that "the installed power shall not be less than the propulsion power needed to maintain the manoeuvrability of the ship under adverse conditions as defined in the guidelines". In this context, IACS had informed that it would develop and submit a first draft of such guidelines to this session for further consideration. 5.17 The Committee considered documents MEPC 62/5/19 and MEPC 62/INF.21 (BIMCO, CESA, IACS, INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO and WSC) presenting draft interim guidelines to determine whether available propulsion power is sufficient to enable safe manoeuvring in adverse weather conditions in the context of the EEDI framework. To facilitate an early implementation, the co-sponsors suggested a simplified assessment in the first phase.

MEPC 62/24 Page 34

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

5.18 The Committee agreed that the draft regulatory text and associated guidelines should ensure that the safety concerns raised are satisfactorily taken into account. The Committee instructed the Working Group, in principle, to further develop the draft interim guidelines on propulsion power and safe manoeuvring in adverse weather conditions, using the annex to document MEPC 62/5/19 as a basis. Marginal abatement costs and cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency measures 5.19 The Committee noted that identification of possible abatement technologies and assessment of their reduction potential, as well as calculation of their cost-effectiveness and identification of constraints and barriers to implementation of such technologies, were all vital elements for the Committee to be able to continue to base its decisions on sound science. 5.20 The Committee expressed appreciation to IMarEST for providing valuable information in documents MEPC 62/5/2 and MEPC 62/INF.7, containing an updated study on the economics and cost-effectiveness of technical and operational measures. 5.21 Recognizing that document MEPC 62/INF.7 could be a useful document for the industry as a tool in decision-making on what technologies or operational measures to employ, the Committee agreed to instruct the Working Group to use the information in the updated IMarEST Study in document MEPC 62/INF.7 in its work. It also agreed to publish document MEPC 62/INF.7 on the IMO website as a useful background document. Matters related to the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) 5.22 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 noted document MEPC 61/5/29 (Republic of Korea) on the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) and agreed to defer it to a future session as EEOI was not reviewed at MEPC 61. In this regard, the Russian Federation had submitted document MEPC 62/5/11 to this session, with a proposal on the calculation procedure for the EEOI. 5.23 The Committee agreed to forward the two documents to the Working Group and to instruct it to further consider the EEOI guidelines. Model course for energy efficient operation of ships 5.24 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 noted the development of an IMO model course on the ship energy efficiency management plan, through an MoU with the World Maritime University (WMU). The course would contribute to IMO's environmental protection and capacity building goals set out in resolutions A.947(23) and A.998(25), by promulgating industry's "best practices" to promote energy efficiency and to build awareness and capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping. 5.25 The Committee agreed to forward documents MEPC 62/5/29 and MEPC 62/INF.39 (Secretariat), providing information on the development of a draft IMO model course for energy efficiency operation of ships prepared by WMU, to the Working Group. 5.26 The Committee agreed to instruct the Working Group to review the draft model course and provide comments. Information documents 5.27 The Committee noted the following information documents and instructed the Working Group to take them into account in its deliberations, as appropriate:

Establishment of and Terms of Reference for the Working Group on Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships 5.28 The Committee noted that the working group established at this session should address various matters related to GHG emissions from ships. The Committee agreed to establish it under the chairmanship of Mr. Koichi Yoshida of Japan. The Working Group should be instructed to consider matters related to technical and operational measures. 5.29 The delegation of China made reference to its submission MEPC 62/6/16, requesting that it be considered under agenda item 5. The delegation of Norway, supported by a number of other delegations, emphasized that as the document contained comments and proposals related to the circulated draft amendments, it should be considered under agenda item 6. The Committee agreed to address relevant parts of the document under both agenda items. 5.30 Having decided, following consideration of both parts of agenda item 6, to convene a working group and a drafting group on energy efficiency matters (see paragraph 6.82), the Committee established the Working Group on Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships with the following reduced Terms of Reference:

.1 develop a draft work plan with time schedule for future progress on technical and operational measures for ships not covered by the current EEDI framework, using the annex to document MEPC 62/5/18 as a basis;

Page 40: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

.2 consider to incorporate the cubic capacity correction factor for chemical tankers as proposed in document MEPC 62/6/13 (IPTA) into the draft guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained EEDI for new ships;

.3 review the draft IMO Model Course for energy efficient operation of ships

set out in documents MEPC 62/5/29 and MEPC 62/INF.39 and provide comments to the WMU; and

.4 submit a written report to plenary on Thursday, 14 July 2011.

Action taken on the report of the Working Group 5.31 The Committee, having received the report of the Working Group (MEPC 62/WP.15), noted the following amendments to the document:

.1 Paragraph 4.2 is replaced by the following:

"The Group agreed to integrate the correction factor into the EEDI calculation guidelines, and doing so would enhance credibility and confidence in the EEDI formula. However, the Group considered that the correction factor presented in document MEPC 62/6/13 would require fine tuning."

.2 Paragraph 4.3 is deleted. .3 Paragraph 6.5 is replaced by the following:

"The Group noted that the guidelines for determining minimum propulsion power and speed to enable safe manoeuvring in adverse weather conditions should be developed in a relatively short time, since the guidelines are referred to in the regulatory framework of the EEDI as being voluntary."

.4 Paragraphs 8.1.2 and 8.1.4 are replaced by the following:

".2 endorse the agreement of the Group that cubic capacity correction factor for chemical tankers should be included in the guidelines on EEDI calculation (paragraph 4.2);

.4 endorse the draft work plan for further development of technical

and operational measures for ships, as set out in annex 1 (paragraph 6.7);".

5.32 Having considered the report of the Working Group, the Committee approved it in general and, in particular (paragraph numbers are those of document MEPC 62/WP.15, as amended):

.1 invited interested delegations to provide practical information and examples of the energy efficient operation of ships to the Secretariat by 31 August 2011 for inclusion in the IMO Model Course (paragraph 3.3);

.2 endorsed the agreement of the Group that cubic capacity correction factor

for chemical tankers should be included in the guidelines on EEDI calculation (paragraph 4.2);

.3 endorsed the view of the Group that the 70% DWT capacity is to be used

for container ships in EEDI calculation (paragraph 5.3);

.4 endorsed the work plan and schedule for further development of technical and operational measures for ships, as set out in annex 9 (paragraph 6.7); and

.5 agreed to the holding of an intersessional meeting of the Working Group on

Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships with the terms of reference, as set out in annex 10 (paragraph 7.3).

5.33 The Committee expressed its appreciation for the significant work undertaken by the Working Group.

Information documents on GHG Issues 5.36 The Committee noted the Ministerial declaration on global environment and energy in transport in document MEPC 62/INF.2 by the Secretariat. 5.37 The Committee also noted the results of the fourth Seoul International Maritime Forum in document MEPC 62/INF.6 by the Republic of Korea. General views on IMO's GHG Work – policy and principles 5.38 The Committee recalled that an extensive exchange of views on different policy and principle questions had taken place at previous sessions, and more recently also at the third intersessional meeting of the Working Group on GHG Emissions from Ships (GHG-WG 3). 5.39 The Committee considered documents MEPC 62/5/9, MEPC 62/5/10, MEPC 62/5/13, MEPC 62/5/20 and MEPC 62/5/28 and held an extensive exchange of views on the matters raised therein, noting that many of the issues had already been discussed in depth at earlier sessions, in particular those concerning the obligations assumed by Parties to Annex I of the UNFCCC under the global climate change negotiations; the reconciliation of the principles of "no more favourable treatment" and CBDR; the need to provide for capacity-building, technology transfer, financial assistance and impact assessments relating to the energy efficiency measures, the appropriate legal instrument for the introduction of technical, operational and market-based measures; and the need to further develop such measures before their approval and adoption. 5.40 Many delegations expressed interest in the Bahamas proposal and their wish that the proposal should be further developed and considered in the future. Nevertheless, a number of delegations also raised concerns noting that the proposal did not address the CBDR principle, nor technical co-operation and capacity-building. Questions concerning cost effectiveness, the additional administrative burden, the net reductions and the verification feasibility were also raised. 5.41 The Committee noted the statement by the observer of CESA during the debate on GHG issues. As requested, the statement is set out in annex 11. 5.42 In concluding that debate, the Committee invited the Bahamas to further develop its proposal set out in document MEPC 62/5/13 and to submit the refined version to a future session, so as to enable the Committee to assess the proposal's feasibility and effectiveness and to consider whether it may serve as an alternative to an MBM or be used as an interim solution. 5.43 The Committee also decided to consider, under agenda item 6, paragraphs 14 and 15 of document MEPC 62/5/10. Market-Based Measures 5.44 Due to time constraints, the Committee could not consider Market-Based Measures and agreed to defer the consideration of the following documents to MEPC 63: MEPC 62/5/1 Secretariat Report of the third Intersessional Meeting of

the working group on greenhouse gas emissions from ships

6 CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO MANDATORY INSTRUMENTS

GENERAL 6.1 The Committee recalled that, under item 1, it agreed to a proposal by the Chairman to consider the submissions under this item in two parts: Part I and Part II (see paragraph 1.7). PART I 6.2 The Committee recalled that, at MEPC 61, it had approved, with a view to adoption at this session, draft amendments to:

.1 MARPOL Annex IV (Designation of the Baltic Sea as a Special Area) (MEPC 61/24, paragraph 7.35 and annex 13);

.2 MARPOL Annex V (Revised MARPOL Annex V) (MEPC 61/24,

paragraph 7.22.1 and annex 11); and .3 MARPOL Annex VI (Amendments to regulations 13 and 14 and

Appendix VII in relation to the designation of the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area and other related matters (MEPC 61/24 and MEPC 61/24/Corr.1, paragraphs 4.34 and 4.36 and annex 2).

6.3 The Committee noted that the texts of the above-mentioned approved amendments were circulated by the Secretary-General on 2 November 2010, under cover of Circular letter No.3118, in accordance with the provisions of article 16(2)(a) of the MARPOL Convention. 6.4 The Committee also recalled that MEPC 61 had agreed, in principle, that a drafting group would be established at this session to make any editorial changes to the draft amendments, as necessary, before adoption by the Committee. Amendments to MARPOL Annex IV 6.5 The Committee noted that the proposed amendments as approved by MEPC 61, together with the draft MEPC resolution on their adoption, were set out in document MEPC 62/6, prepared by the Secretariat. 6.6 The Committee considered comments on the proposed amendments by CLIA (MEPC 62/6/25), aimed at separation of the text creating the concept of Special Areas from the text establishing the Baltic Sea Special Area, and noted information on the ongoing activities of the Baltic Sea States, under the Helsinki Commission, to promote their joint efforts to upgrade the sewage reception facilities in major passenger ports in the Baltic Sea (MEPC 62/INF.20). 6.7 The Committee also agreed to consider, under this agenda item, a proposal by IACS concerning a perceived incoherence within the text of MARPOL Annex IV, unrelated to the proposed amendments, originally tabled under item 7 of the agenda (MEPC 62/7/5). IACS proposed minor corrections. 6.8 The Committee noted that, in the currently proposed amendments to Annex IV, the discharge of sewage within a special area would be prohibited under regulation 11.3 for new passenger ships on, or after 1 January 2013, and for existing passenger ships on, or after 1 January 2018.

6.9 The delegation of Finland, on behalf of the Baltic Sea States, proposed to relax the application deadline for new passenger ships to 1 January 2016, subject to regulation 12bis, subparagraph 2, while keeping the deadline for existing passenger ships at 1 January 2018, but now also subject to regulation 12bis, subparagraph 2. A corresponding relaxation was proposed for the deadlines under the proposed regulation 1.7ter concerning the application to new-build passenger ships. 6.10 Several delegations expressed their support for the "package" proposed by Finland. 6.11 The Committee noted the concerns of some delegations that the technical standards for sewage treatment equipment had yet to be established to meet the proposed discharge requirements under regulation 11.3 and that, without these, treatment equipment for use on board ships might not be available in time before the special area provisions for the Baltic Sea area would enter into force. Other delegations disagreed, referring to the ongoing work in the DE Sub-Committee on the development of revised guidelines on implementation of effluent standards and performance tests for sewage treatment plants, due for completion in 2012, and trusting that adequate equipment would become available in time, certainly with the package of relaxed application deadlines, as proposed by the Baltic Sea States. 6.12 Concerns were also expressed at the pace of provision of port reception facilities for sewage from ships: there should be a balance between the provision by Parties of adequate port reception facilities and the availability of technical standards and sewage treatment equipment on board ships. 6.13 It was concluded that the issue of the relaxed deadlines and the comments by IACS should be included in the amendments and that the Drafting Group would have the flexibility of addressing the issue of the technical equipment standards, either in the regulations or in a draft MEPC resolution. 6.14 With the above-mentioned instructions, the Committee agreed to refer the draft amendments to the Drafting Group for editorial review. Amendments to MARPOL Annex V (Revised MARPOL Annex V) 6.15 The Committee noted that the proposed amendments, as approved by MEPC 61, and the draft MEPC resolution on their adoption, were set out in document MEPC 62/6/1 by the Secretariat. 6.16 The Committee agreed that the plenary debate should aim at providing the Drafting Group with necessary instructions to enable it to do its work and that the following six documents commenting on the proposed amendments should be introduced in plenary:

.1 MEPC 62/6/6 (Australia) – Revised MARPOL Annex V, animal carcasses and the London Convention/Protocol;

.2 MEPC 62/6/10 (Netherlands) – Revision of MARPOL Annex V (substantive

comments only); .3 MEPC 62/6/11 (Secretariat) – Outcomes of the joint session of the

LC/LP Scientific Groups in relation to management of spoilt cargoes; .4 MEPC 62/6/17 (United States) – Comments on draft amendments to

MARPOL Annex V (substantive comments only);

MEPC 62/24 Page 42

.5 MEPC 62/6/18 (ICS, BIMCO and INTERCARGO) – Comments on proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex V; and

.6 MEPC 62/6/22 (CSC) Issues arising from the Committee's work on the

revision of MARPOL Annex V. 6.17 The Committee also agreed that the documents listed below were to be considered directly by the Drafting Group:

.1 MEPC 62/6/8 (United States) – Editorial comments on draft amendments to MARPOL Annex V;

.2 MEPC 62/6/10 (Netherlands) – Revision of MARPOL Annex V (editorial

comments); and .3 MEPC 62/6/17 (United States) – Comments on draft amendments to

MARPOL Annex V (editorial comments). 6.18 The Committee considered the proposal by Australia not to specify in Annex V, regulation 4.1.4, a mortality rate for livestock carried on board as cargo using a percentage to activate a trigger to the London Convention and Protocol regime (MEPC 62/6/6). Instead, the term "mass mortalities" should be introduced, to be accompanied by guidance in the Annex V guidelines, which the delegation had suggested in a separate document (MEPC 62/7/2), on the detail and procedures for reporting circumstances of mass mortalities and for determining measures to be taken, including where LC/LP approvals should be sought. 6.19 The Committee also considered the suggestion of the Australian delegation that it may be impractical for some voyages to implement the requirement for discharges to take place beyond 100 nautical miles from the nearest land, as such situations could create an unacceptable threat to human health and safety. The delegation therefore proposed to include a new paragraph 5 to regulation 7 excepting the discharge of animal carcasses where the retention might present a health risk, suggesting that such discharges shall not occur within 12 nautical miles of the nearest land, and that it must be ensured that the carcass will sink immediately. Also, the discharges shall be subject to the approval of the coastal State. Finally, as the revised Annex V now recognized animal carcasses as garbage, the mortalities that gradually occur during a voyage would fall under the Annex V discharge requirements and, therefore, Australia noted that the LC/LP guidance on management of spoilt cargoes (LC-LP.1/Circ.30) should be reviewed following the adoption of the revised MARPOL Annex V. 6.20 The Committee considered proposals by the Netherlands (MEPC 62/6/10):

.1 to re-categorize garbage into three categories as follows: "food wastes"; "cargo residues" and "all garbage except food wastes and cargo residues";

.2 not to create a relaxation of the current requirement in regulation 5(5)(b) of

Annex V by which administrations "shall ensure that all ships …, before entering the Antarctic area, have sufficient capacity on board for the retention of all garbage while operating in the area". In the approved text of draft regulation 6.2.2 this provision had been relaxed to read: "sufficient capacity on board for the retention of garbage prohibited for discharge"; and

.3 to clarify which items fall within the scope of "introduced avian products"

and what is covered under the expression "poultry and poultry parts".

6.21 The Committee considered a report by the Secretariat on the outcomes of deliberations by the LC/LP Scientific Groups on the issue of spoilt cargoes, based on the 12 responses received to questionnaire LC-LP.1/Circ.41, distributed in November 2010, asking LC/LP Parties and maritime administrations to assist in defining the management of spoilt cargoes in light of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex V (MEPC 62/6/11). The results showed that the occurrences of spoilt cargo were neither routine nor predictable and that high mortality events in shipping livestock were rare. The technical basis of the proposed 2% threshold level in regulation 4.1.4, distinguishing between the Annex V discharge requirements and the LC/LP dumping requirements, was unclear and seemed to be based on animal management practices rather than ship operating procedures or impacts on the marine environment. In line with the proposals by Australia (MEPC 62/6/6) and the United States (MEPC 62/6/17) the Scientific Groups expressed the view that the revised MARPOL Annex V guidelines may be more appropriate to further elaborate on death rates that are routine and should therefore be covered under Annex V. It was noted that only limited information is available on industry practices with respect to disposal of small quantities of cargo that routinely spoil or die during a voyage, including that of animal carcasses. It would therefore be very helpful to continue efforts to collect additional information, e.g., through the Garbage Record Books, contacts with P&I Clubs and dumping permits, etc., as part of the ongoing information exchange on this boundary issue between LC/LP and MARPOL Annex V. Finally, once the revised MARPOL Annex V had been adopted, it would be logical for the LC/LP Parties to consider the implications of the new requirements and what adjustment might be needed to the joint spoilt cargo guidance of 2009 (LC-LP.1/Circ.30 and MEPC.1/Circ.688). 6.22 The Committee considered the proposal by the United States to revise regulation 4.1.4, in line with the proposals in this respect by Australia and the LC/LP Scientific Groups, but also suggesting that fish that die during live transport as cargo should be regarded as "animal carcasses" (MEPC 62/6/17). The delegation therefore proposed revising regulation 4.1.4 to read as follows:

"For animal carcasses, including terrestrial and aquatic species, discharge shall occur as far from the nearest land as possible, taking into account the guidelines developed by the Organization."

6.23 The Committee considered amendments proposed by ICS, BIMCO and INTERCARGO to resolve the ambiguity concerning cargo hold washing agents as the present text was not clear on whether cargo hold cleaning agents should be considered as garbage or not (MEPC 62/6/18). It was proposed to include cargo hold cleaning agents on the same basis as cleaning agents used for deck washing and that their discharge should be permitted. 6.24 The proponents also mentioned the practical difficulties that the "en route" provisions of the current text create for the discharge of washing agents within Special Areas. The way regulation 6 is drafted implied that, to wash decks and external surfaces with cleaning agents, the ship must be "en route" when in a Special Area. This would mean that decks cannot be washed in ports within Special Areas, which is required before departing port for practical, safety and health reasons. This issue had been discussed and accepted in the Annex V Working Group during MEPC 61, and it was proposed that regulation 6.1.3 should be numbered as 6.2 to remove the "en route" provision. 6.25 The observer from CSC acknowledged that considerable progress had been made during the review of Annex V and welcomed the move towards a "general prohibition" of the discharge of garbage from ships. However, he raised a number of issues associated with the enforcement of the revised Annex V that might undermine its effectiveness at reducing ship-source garbage (MEPC 62/6/22).

6.26 In the ensuing discussion, the delegation of Australia indicated that the language provided by the United States for the proposed regulation 4.1.4 (see paragraph 6.22 above) offered a good compromise and withdrew its proposal. Some delegations did not support the discharge of cargo hold cleaning agents as "garbage". 6.27 The Committee considered that it would only be feasible to complete the revised MARPOL Annex V at this session, if the substantive comments and proposals received could be reviewed by a working group: further postponement of the adoption of the revised Annex V was deemed inappropriate. It was therefore agreed that, although the Committees' Guidelines on the organization and method of work did not allow for an extra working group, the Drafting Group should become a working group, but only for the final review of MARPOL Annex V. 6.28 The Committee agreed to refer the draft amendments, as well as the comments to the drafting/working group for review. Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (Designation of the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area and other related matters) 6.29 The Committee recalled that MEPC 60 adopted, by resolution MEPC.190(60), amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to designate the North American Emission Control Area, which was to enter into force on 1 August 2011. 6.30 The Committee also recalled that MEPC 61 considered and approved amendments to MARPOL Annex VI with a view to adoption, at this session, to designate the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area, as given in the annex to document MEPC 62/6/2, together with the draft MEPC resolution on their adoption, (MEPC 61/24 and MEPC 61/24/Corr.1, paragraphs 4.34 and 4.36, and annex 2). 6.31 In this regard, the Committee noted that, once adopted, the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area would be added in paragraph 3 of regulation 14, and that the existing subparagraphs should be re-numbered as a result, leading also to a consequential amendment to ensure correct cross-referencing in paragraph 7 of regulation 14. 6.32 The delegation of Japan raised the issue that if the amendments on the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area were adopted at this session, a twelve month "grace period" would apply under regulation 14.7 of MARPOL Annex VI. During that period ships operating in that ECA would be exempt from several requirements under this regulation. The delegation also raised the same issue regarding the North American ECA which is already designated in the regulation and proposed that the application should be clarified in the regulations and that an MEPC circular should be prepared announcing the date of taking effect of this ECA so as to avoid any ambiguity. The delegation of the United States supported this proposal. 6.33 The observer from IACS proposed to insert the new regulation 14.8 as regulation 14.4.4, in order to avoid unnecessary cross-referencing. 6.34 The Committee agreed to refer the draft amendments, as well as the above-mentioned proposals to the Drafting Group for editorial review. Establishment of the Drafting Group on Amendments to Mandatory Instruments (Part I) 6.35 The Committee established the Drafting Group on Amendments to Mandatory Instruments (Part I), under the chairmanship of Mr. Zafrul Alam (Singapore), to deal with the draft amendments deliberated so far, with the following Terms of Reference:

Using documents MEPC 62/6, MEPC 62/6/1, and MEPC 62/6/2 as a basis, and taking into account the relevant submissions under this agenda item, document MEPC 62/7/5, any comments and proposals and the decisions made in plenary, the Drafting Group is instructed to: .1 review and finalize the texts of proposed amendments to:

.1 MARPOL Annex IV (Designation of the Baltic Sea as a Special Area); and

.2 MARPOL Annex VI (Designation of the United States Caribbean

Sea Emission Control Area and other related matters); .2 review and finalize two draft MEPC resolutions for adoption of the two sets

of amendments to MARPOL Annex IV and Annex VI, respectively; .3 upon completion of the above-mentioned tasks, the Drafting Group shall

continue as working group to review and finalize the text for the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex V, together with an accompanying draft MEPC resolution for adoption;

.4 develop an MEPC circular on the date of taking effect of the proposed

amendments to regulation 13 and 14 of MARPOL Annex VI, when adopted; and

.5 submit a written report to the plenary on Thursday, 14 July 2011.

Report of the Drafting Group and action taken by the Committee (Part I) 6.36 The Committee noted, in the report of the Drafting Group (MEPC 62/WP.11), that:

.1 with regard to the proposed new regulation 12bis.1.1 in MARPOL Annex IV on reception facilities for passenger ships in special areas, the Drafting Group could not reach agreement on whether all ports should provide sewage reception facilities, analogous to similar special areas requirements of other MARPOL Annexes. Those delegations objecting to inclusion of the word "all" did so on grounds of unreasonable cost implications. Consequently, the word "all" had been kept in brackets for decision by the Committee;

.2 the Working Group agreed not to create a relaxation of the current

requirement in regulation 5(5)(b) of Annex V by which administrations "shall ensure that all ships …, before entering the Antarctic area, have sufficient capacity on board for the retention of all garbage while operating in the area". Consequently, the phrase "garbage prohibited for discharge" in the text approved by MEPC 61 was deleted in draft regulation 6.3.2;

.3 the Working Group considered a proposal to include in regulation 6.1.2.3

(inadequacy of port reception facilities for garbage in special areas) a cross-reference to regulation 8.2 on the mandatory reporting of such inadequacies. The proponents argued that without reporting, the lack of such facilities would continue. Although some delegations expressed concern about the lack of adequate port reception facilities in special areas for the reception of cargo residues, the Working Group agreed not to include a cross-reference; and

.4 the Working Group agreed to recommend that guidance should be developed for new entries made in the final text of the proposed amendments, where appropriate, as part of the current review of the Guidelines for the Implementation of MARPOL Annex V.

6.37 Having considered the report of the Drafting Group, the Committee approved it in general and, in particular:

.1 agreed that the text of MARPOL Annex IV, new regulation 12bis.1.1 regarding reception facilities for passenger ships in special areas should read: "facilities for the reception of sewage should be provided in ports and terminals which are in a special area and which are used by passenger ships; ...";

.2 adopted, by resolution MEPC.200(62), amendments to the Annex of the

Protocol of 1978 relating to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (Special Area Provisions and the Designation of the Baltic Sea as a Special Area under MARPOL Annex IV), as set out in annex 12;

.3 adopted, by resolution MEPC.201(62), amendments to the Annex of the

Protocol of 1978 relating to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (Revised MARPOL Annex V), as set out in annex 13;

.4 endorsed the recommendation that guidance should be developed for new

entries made in the final text of the amendments, where appropriate, as part of the current review of the Guidelines for the Implementation of MARPOL Annex V;

.5 adopted, by resolution MEPC.202(62), amendments to the Annex of the

Protocol of 1997 to amend the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (Designation of the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area and exemption of certain ships operating in the North American Emission Control Area and the United States Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area under regulations 13 and 14 and Appendix VII of MARPOL Annex VI), as set out in annex 14;

.6 instructed the Secretariat to check the amendments carefully for any

editorial omissions and, if necessary, insert these in the final text of the amendments;

.7 endorsed the recommendation that the co-ordinates of the United States

Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area should be included in an MEPC circular (MEPC.1/Circ.755), together with a map;

.8 approved the outline for a draft MEPC resolution in relation to the

designation of the Baltic Sea as a Special Area under MARPOL Annex IV, as set out in annex 15 for further development with a view to adoption at MEPC 63; and

.9 approved the MEPC circular on the date of taking effect of the amendments

to regulations 13 and 14 of MARPOL Annex VI adopted by resolution MEPC.202(62), as set out in annex 16 and requested the Secretariat to distribute it as MEPC.1/Circ.756 as soon as possible.

PART II Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (Mandatory technical and operational measures on energy efficiency for ships) 6.38 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 considered draft regulations on energy efficiency for ships for mandatory application of the EEDI and SEEMP by inclusion of such regulations in MARPOL Annex VI. 6.39 The Committee also recalled that MEPC 61 considered the legal form of the draft regulations and that MEPC 60 had agreed by majority that MARPOL Annex VI was the appropriate vehicle for enacting mandatory energy efficiency requirements for ships (MEPC 60/22, paragraph 4.34). A number of delegations supported the inclusion of the energy efficiency measures in MARPOL Annex VI, while a number of other delegations opposed this as they maintained the view that MARPOL Annex VI was not the appropriate legal instrument to regulate energy efficiency measures. MEPC 61 came to no conclusion on this issue. 6.40 The Committee noted that the Secretary-General received, on 17 November 2010, a request to circulate the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI from the Governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Liberia, Norway and the United Kingdom in accordance with article 16(2)(a) of the MARPOL Convention and that, consequently, the proposed amendments were circulated by the Secretary-General, in accordance with article 16(2)(a) of the MARPOL Convention, under cover of Circular letter No.3128 of 24 November 2010. Circulation of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI 6.41 The Committee noted document MEPC 62/6/9 in which India queried Circular letter No.3128. India did not share the understanding that the provisions of article 16(2)(a) of the MARPOL Convention had been met, thus enabling IMO to circulate the proposed amendments. The delegation also argued that Article 31 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties had not been adhered to by the Parties requesting the circulation and that IMO's "non-discriminatory approach" and the principle of "no more favourable treatment" of ships contradicted the fundamental principles of UNFCCC. The delegation proposed that IMO should not deliberate on any mandatory application of measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships until the issue was further deliberated under UNFCCC. 6.42 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/6/15 by Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, India, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa and Venezuela, which argued that the draft amendments circulated at the request of nine Parties to MARPOL Annex VI by Circular letter No.3128 had not been circulated in line with the basic amendment procedure of MARPOL as the Circular letter had been circulated without prior approval by the Committee of the proposed amendments contained therein. The co-sponsors noted that all amendments to the MARPOL Convention so far had first been approved in accordance with article 16(2)(b) and questioned why the Organization, at this particular instance, decided to apply the provisions of articles 16(2)(b) and 16(2)(d) on adoption at the same session of the Committee. Further, the co-sponsors considered that only article 16(2)(b) should be applied at this stage to ensure consistency with the customary procedure of IMO. 6.43 In response to document MEPC 62/6/15, the Legal Office of the IMO Secretariat clarified the procedure for amendments to MARPOL Annex VI as set out in article 16(2) paragraphs (a) to (d) of MARPOL and noted that the "approval" stage was not a formal procedural step under article 16 but only a customary practice which, however, was not

consistent throughout the Organization. It was further clarified that under article 16(2) any Party may propose an amendment and the Secretary-General was required – without the exercise of discretion – to circulate that amendment for consideration by the appropriate body of the Organization. Therefore, the Legal Office was of the view that no step of procedural or legal nature had been neglected and Circular letter No.3128 consequently fully complied with the terms of the MARPOL Convention. 6.44 Regarding the differences between the proposed amendments as prepared by the Working Group at MEPC 61 and the version circulated by Circular letter No.3128 and submitted to the Committee in document MEPC 62/6/3, the Legal Office noted that the circulated and submitted version was only a reformatted version of that developed by the MEPC 61 Working Group and that, as explained in document MEPC 62/6/5, the modifications were only made to enable the draft text to fit with the current version of MARPOL Annex VI. Further, the changes were of a minor editorial nature and did not result in a new set of amendments from those developed by the Working Group at MEPC 61. Consequently, this did not constitute suitable grounds for preventing the Committee from considering the proposals with a view to their adoption. 6.45 Concerning the consideration (article 16(2)(b)) and adoption (article 16(2)(d)) of the proposed amendments at the same session of the Committee, the Legal Office noted that the Committee's right to consider the proposed amendments had not been curtailed. The Committee had to, as a practical and legal matter, take up the proposal for 'consideration' before it could move to a position where the adoption procedure could take place under article 16(2)(d). 6.46 The delegation of Brazil, supported by others, recognized the right of a Party to MARPOL Annex VI to submit any proposal for amendments to the Convention, for consideration by the appropriate body of the Organization, but questioned the intended course of action to approve and adopt the proposed amendments in one single session of the Committee. As requested, the full statement is set out in annex 17. 6.47 The Legal Office clarified that it was only a common practice but not a legal rule that proposed amendments to MARPOL were considered and adopted at different sessions of the Committee and referred to a precedent within the Marine Environment Protection Committee. The Secretariat further informed of similar precedents within the Facilitation and Legal Committees. 6.48 The delegation of China raised further questions to the Legal Office for clarification on the appropriateness of the proposed amendments properly belonging in the framework of MARPOL Annex VI and on the meaning of "the Organization" in article 16(2)(b). 6.49 In reply to the first question by the delegation of China, the Legal Office referred the Committee to article 16(7) of the MARPOL Convention, which sets out a two-part test to assess the appropriateness of a proposed amendment and concluded that both parts of the test were satisfied in this instance. On the second point, the Legal Office was of the view that "the Organization" meant the IMO Secretariat as only the IMO Secretariat could circulate proposed amendments. The Secretary-General shed further light on the latter issue, noting that the meaning of paragraph (b) could be confusing due to the fact that, at the time of drafting paragraph (b), MEPC had yet to be established. In the equivalent amendment provisions under the SOLAS Convention, which had been draft after MSC had been established, the requirement was for proposed and circulated amendments to be submitted to "the Maritime Safety Committee of the Organization for consideration" (SOLAS article VIII(b((ii)). Accordingly, MARPOL article 16(2)(b) might, in light of the foregoing provision of SOLAS, be interpreted to mean that any amendment proposed and circulated shall be

submitted to an appropriate IMO body, in this case MEPC, for consideration by the Member States of the Organization*. 6.50 The Committee noted an intervention by the delegation of Norway where it referred to further examples of proposed amendments to IMO instruments that had been circulated without prior approval. 6.51 A number of delegations concurred with the findings of the Legal Office that the proposed amendments had been circulated in accordance with the amendment procedure and were in favour of considering the proposed amendments further. 6.52 Some other delegations did not share the legal opinion given by the Legal Office and expressed concerns about the proposed amendments being insufficiently mature, not reflecting the CBDR principle, which should be adhered to in all actions to address climate change, and about the legitimacy, though not the legality, of not following the customary procedure. 6.53 Following a lengthy debate, the Committee agreed by majority that the circulation of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI had been conducted in accordance with the provisions of the MARPOL Convention. 6.54 A number of delegations made statements on the circulation of the draft proposed amendments. As requested, the statements are also set out in annex 17. Discussion of the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI 6.55 Noting that an informal group convened by the Chairman was holding consultations with a view to seeking consensus among Member States on the proposed energy efficiency regulations, and that the Committee had yet to decide on the possible establishment of working and/or drafting groups under agenda items 5 and 6, the Committee considered:

.1 the proposed draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to include regulations on energy efficiency for ships, as set out in document MEPC 62/6/3 by the Secretariat;

.2 some explanations to the proposed amendments set out in document

MEPC 62/6/3, as presented in document MEPC 62/6/5 by Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Liberia, Norway and the United Kingdom; and

.3 a set of draft MEPC resolutions proposed by Japan and the Marshall

Islands in document MEPC 62/6/7 that were intended to further clarify the purposes of the draft amendments to Annex VI on energy efficiency for ships, strengthen the implementation of the new regulations, and expedite future work relating to energy efficiency measures. If acceptable, these additional resolutions could be adopted together with the amendments themselves.

6.56 The Committee noted that some delegations could not support further consideration of the proposed draft amendments in their current format.

* It may be noted that the Assembly, through resolution A.297(VIII), established MEPC and, through

resolution A.296(VIII), designated "the Marine Environment Protection Committee as the appropriate body referred to in Article 16 of the Convention …" (i.e. the MARPOL Convention).

6.57 The delegation of Sweden made a statement in which it thanked Japan and the Marshall Islands for their submission MEPC 62/6/7 and supported the adoption of the annexed draft resolutions as well as preparing additional text. As requested, the statement is set out in annex 18. Application of the proposed energy efficiency regulations 6.58 The Committee recalled that at MEPC 61 a number of delegations had expressed the view that the energy efficiency regulations could be phased-in for ships built in some countries over a certain period of time (MEPC 61/24, paragraph 5.47). It was also recalled that the Committee, under agenda item 5, had agreed to consider the proposal by China, Saudi Arabia and South Africa in relation to a phase-in of application of the proposed draft regulations for developing countries, as set out in document MEPC 62/5/10, paragraph 14. 6.59 The Committee noted that the latter proponents desired that the draft regulatory text should fully reflect the views put forward by developing country delegations at MEPC 61. 6.60 In this context, the Committee also considered document MEPC 62/6/21 by Singapore, proposing some refinements to the draft regulations in document MEPC 62/6/3, intended as a compromise solution. 6.61 A large number of delegations supported the compromise proposal by Singapore and expressed interest in further consideration of how it could be incorporated in the draft regulatory text. Most delegations taking the floor on the matter welcomed the proposal as a good basis for finding a compromise that could be agreed by consensus and expressed willingness to engage in further discussions. A number of delegations expressed concerns over the proposed possibility for port States to deny ships port entry based on whether they comply with the EEDI or not. Also, a number of delegations reasoned that the time period of four years was excessive and should be shortened, in particular if the port entry condition clause was not included. Other delegations argued that the four years period was too short and should be extended to seven or eight years, while still others argued that the time period for which a waiver could be issued should be set by each individual Party. 6.62 The Committee agreed that the proposal by Singapore provided scope for a compromise agreement as it contained elements around which a consensus could be built. However, many delegations considered that some elements could not be considered for inclusion as part of a final compromise package. Accordingly, the Committee also agreed to continue working on the compromise text in the informal group convened by the MEPC Chairman with a view to reaching consensus on the regulatory text. Capacity building, technical assistance and transfer of technology 6.63 The Committee recalled that at MEPC 61 a number of delegations had expressed the view that text on capacity building and transfer of technology should be included in the energy efficiency regulations. Consequently, the Committee noted several proposals in relation to this matter, in documents submitted to the session and proposed from the floor. 6.64 The Committee agreed that capacity building, technical assistance and transfer of technology were important elements in a future comprehensive regulatory framework to promote energy efficiency in international shipping. It agreed to continue considering the issue in relation with further development and refinement of the draft regulatory text and associated resolutions.

Review provision for the status of technological developments 6.65 The Committee recalled that draft regulation 21.5 of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI provided for a review provision at the beginning of phase 1, stipulating that the Organization "shall review the status of technological developments and, if proven necessary, adjust the time periods and reduction rates set out in Phases 2 and 3." 6.66 The Committee considered several, interrelated proposals concerning review provisions, as follows:

.1 the proposal by Japan and the Marshall Islands in annex 2 to document MEPC 62/6/7 which would mandate that the first review process related to Phase 1 should start at the time of adoption of the amendments and should focus on small ships and ships designed for routes that call at ports that are remote, isolated or without the facilities comparable to those in developed nations;

.2 the proposal by the Netherlands related to review process 1, regarding

consideration of the applicable requirements for the small ship segment (MEPC 62/6/14). The proposal encouraged industry organizations to submit proposals (as review process 1) to resolve the high scatter and the low square of the regression factor R2 for this segment, which could form part of the proposed work plan and schedule for technical and operational measures for ships, as proposed in document MEPC 62/5/18; and

.3 the ICS comments seeking to ensure that, during the later phases of

application, due account should be taken of experience gained during earlier phases and proposing to include an additional review at the midpoint of Phase 2 on the requirements for Phase 3 (MEPC 62/6/24).

6.67 The Committee noted that Vanuatu considered that the scope of the review process was not broad enough to ameliorate some of the concerns expressed in the shipping community about the proposed calculation method(s) and not just the timing of the phases or the reduction rates (MEPC 62/6/23). Issues related to specific ship types 6.68 The Committee considered comments and proposals on the draft regulations for specific ship types, as shown in paragraphs 6.69 to 6.78 below. Bulk carriers, tankers and container ships 6.69 With regard to this category of ships, the Committee considered:

.1 a proposal by China to reduce the reduction requirements for bulk carriers and tankers and separate them in three size categories, compared to the current two with smaller reductions for the largest and smallest ships (MEPC 62/6/16); and

.2 a proposal by Greece to reduce the EEDI reduction factors "X" for tankers

and bulk carriers (paragraphs 8, 9.1 and 9.3), especially those of larger sizes, and increase the EEDI reduction factors for large container ships (paragraphs 8 and 9.3), using available statistical analyses and results of relevant studies (MEPC 62/6/19).

MEPC 62/24 Page 52

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

6.70 The Committee noted that the review provision in the draft amendments would enable further consideration of issues, including ship safety, and proposals to amend Table 1 of the draft amendments provided in the documents and, as such, Table 1 should not be amended at this stage. The Committee agreed that the above proposals would be included in the review process (review process 1). General cargo ships 6.71 The Committee noted the concerns and proposals by CESA regarding the large scatter and poor correlation of the reference line values for general cargo ships due to the inclusion of highly specialized tonnage under the definition of general cargo ships (MEPC 62/6/12, paragraphs 3 to 7, 9 and 10 and MEPC 62/INF.17). 6.72 The Committee reconfirmed that specialized tonnage should be excluded from the application of the EEDI. Chemical tankers 6.73 The Committee considered a proposal by IPTA to introduce a cubic capacity correction factor for chemical tankers, due to their particular design features into the EEDI formula. This would reflect concerns in relation to chemical/parcel tankers that were similar to those expressed for combination carriers, namely, that specific design features could lead to these ships being penalized under the current EEDI formula (MEPC 62/6/13). 6.74 The Committee noted that a correction factor for chemical tankers would be incorporated into the calculation guidelines and so agreed to forward document MEPC 62/6/13 (IPTA) to the Working Group established under agenda item 5 with a view to considering inclusion of a correction factor for chemical tankers in the guidelines. Gas carriers 6.75 The Committee considered the proposal by SIGTTO in document MEPC 62/6/20 that gas carriers should be divided into two specific categories when calculating the EEDI, as follows:

.1 ships which utilize conventional liquid fuels (HFO, MDO etc.) as primary fuel. This category should cover all LPG and LNG ships and those LNG ships which employ slow speed diesel propulsion systems running on HFO; and

.2 ships which use boil-off gas and/or vaporized LNG as primary fuel.

This category should be based on the reference line derived from the analysis of Dual Fuel Diesel Electric (DFDE) vessels, in the capacity range of 75,000 – 95,000 dwt (MEPC 62/6/20).

6.76 The Committee noted that the review provision in the draft amendments would enable further consideration of the issues raised by SIGTTO. The Committee agreed to forward document MEPC 62/6/20 to the Working Group for consideration of gas carriers when considering the EEDI calculation method for ships having diesel-electric propulsion, turbine propulsion, hybrid propulsion, dual fuel engines and other propulsion systems as part of the draft work plan. Ro-ro ships 6.77 The Committee considered the proposal by CESA to either amend or delete draft regulations 2.34 and 2.35 that provide definitions for ro-ro ships (MEPC 62/6/12, paragraph 8 and MEPC 62/INF.17).

MEPC 62/24 Page 53

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

6.78 The Committee agreed to amend the references to ro-ro ships within the draft regulatory text and instructed the Drafting Group, should it be established, accordingly. Drafting issues 6.79 The Committee agreed that the documents listed below were to be considered directly by the Drafting Group, should it be established:

.1 MEPC 62/6/5 (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan Liberia, Norway and United Kingdom) – Proposed draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI; and

.2 MEPC 62/6/26 (Germany) – Rectification of drafting omissions of draft

amendments to regulations on energy efficiency for ships of MARPOL Annex VI (EEDI).

Establishment of groups 6.80 Having completed its preliminary consideration of Part II of agenda item 6, the Committee then debated the establishment of working and/or drafting groups on energy efficiency matters. In this regard, a number of delegations continued to express the view, as also reported under agenda items 1 and 5 (see paragraphs 1.7-1.11, 5.5 and 5.28-5.29), that the proposed draft amendments should be considered by a working group with a view to their further development and possible approval at this session. In their view, the draft amendments were premature and needed considerable further work before they could be considered for adoption. Some delegations reasoned that adoption should not be considered before all supporting guidelines were also ready for adoption so they could be considered as a package. Other delegations argued that Part II of agenda item 62 should not be addressed at this session. 6.81 A number of other delegations maintained the view that the Drafting Group should consider the circulated draft amendments as well as documents providing comments or further proposals for refinement and additions. 6.82 The Committee agreed by majority that the circulated draft amendments and related documents should be considered by a Drafting Group (Part II), for editorial refinement of the regulatory text on energy efficiency and with a view to adoption at this session, while further consultations aimed at achieving consensus should continue in the informal group convened by the Chairman. Further, the Committee also agreed to establish a Working Group, under agenda item 5, on Energy Efficiency Measures for Ships (see paragraph 5.30). Work of the Drafting Group on amendments to mandatory instruments (Part II) – first part 6.83 The Committee agreed to refer the aforementioned drafting work to the Drafting Group on amendments to mandatory instruments (Part II), under the chairmanship of Dr. Phillip Belcher (Bahamas), with the following Terms of Reference:

.1 review and finalize the specific paragraphs of document MEPC 62/6/3 referenced in documents MEPC 62/6/5, MEPC 62/6/12 and MEPC 62/6/26 referred to it by the plenary for the proposed amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (inclusion of regulations on energy efficiency for ships); and

.2 submit a written report to plenary on Friday, 15 July 2011.

Action taken on the report of the Drafting Group (Part II) – first part 6.84 As instructed by the Committee the Drafting Group submitted its first report as document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1. 6.85 The Committee noted that the Drafting Group had worked strictly in compliance with its Terms of Reference and that the specific paragraphs referred to it by the plenary had been finalized, as detailed in the annex to document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1, and further noted that the Group did not work on any other issues which had not been referred to it. 6.86 The Committee noted that, with respect to the editorial amendments proposed in document MEPC 62/6/26 (Germany), the Group had identified some consequential amendments to the definitions. Accordingly, the Group finalized the definitions. Similarly, when reviewing the issue of major conversions, a consequential minor amendment was identified within regulation 5. The Group agreed to this minor editorial change. 6.87 The Committee noted that two issues relating to document MEPC 62/6/5 (Australia et al.) were highlighted:

.1 in relation to issue 14 Equivalence, the Group was of the view that there was no need for a direct reference to be made to regulation 21 as regulation 4 implicitly allowed for such equivalences, to the extent applicable; and

.2 with regard to issue 15 Clarification of the term "substantially", the Group

believed that it did not have enough guidance from the plenary for it to progress this item.

6.88 Having received and considered document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1 the Committee approved it in general. 6.89 The Committee recalled that the informal group convened by the Chairman was continuing its efforts to build consensus on energy efficiency matters and was developing further text on capacity-building and technology transfer in order to reach a general agreement on the draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on inclusion of a new chapter 4 on energy efficiency for ships. Informal group on consideration and adoption of amendments to mandatory instruments 6.90 The Committee noted that the outcome of the informal group was submitted by the Chairman for consideration by the Committee in document MEPC 62/WP.16, which provided amended text for a draft regulation on technical co-operation and transfer of technology, and draft text on application with possible deferment for parties which may require additional time for implementation of the proposed energy efficiency measures. 6.91 All delegations that intervened in the ensuing debate expressed their admiration for the Chairman's strenuous efforts to bring all Members together and produce a text on the basis of which consensus might be reached. In this respect, while some delegations considered that additional amendments and clarifications were required before adoption of the proposed text could be further considered, other delegations were of the view that the text presented by the Chairman was the most delicate of compromises and should be considered as the final text for adoption.

6.92 The Secretary-General congratulated the Chairman and delegations for their hard work and statesmanlike attitude in drafting the text in document MEPC 62/WP.16. Recalling his opening remarks appealing to all Members to compromise, and noting that every word, phrase, sentence and paragraph of the proposed text had been carefully crafted on the basis of concessions made by all engaged in the consultations, he commended the text to the Committee as it represented a well-balanced outcome that was workable in today's shipping reality and which also preserved the universality of IMO's regulations and the unity of its membership. 6.93 In turn, the Chairman thanked the Committee for its trust in his leadership on the issue and highlighted that the text on capacity-building had been based on corresponding regulatory text existing in other IMO conventions, which had nevertheless been improved and strengthened, while the text on application had been based on the proposal of Singapore (MEPC 62/6/21) but without the wording on denial of entry. He, therefore, also commended the text to Members while further consultations continued on related matters. 6.94 The Committee agreed by majority that the draft text provided in document MEPC 62/WP.16 should be considered further by the Drafting Group and that work in the informal group convened by the Chairman should continue with a view to developing a draft MEPC resolution on capacity-building, technical assistance and transfer of technology, which could be adopted together with the amendments as a package. Establishment of and Terms of Reference for the Drafting Group on Amendments to Mandatory Instruments (Part II) – second part 6.95 Having considered document MEPC 62/WP.16 the Committee agreed to refer the aforementioned text to the Drafting Group on amendments to mandatory instruments (Part II), again under the chairmanship of Dr. Phillip Belcher (Bahamas), with the following Terms of Reference:

"using MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1 as a basis, make the following changes: .1 include the issues raised by Vanuatu in document MEPC 62/6/23 and ICS

in document MEPC 62/6/24 on the review period; .2 delete the insertion made in MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1 in draft regulation 19.4

as proposed in document MEPC 62/6/12 by CESA; and .3 insert the paragraphs of MEPC 62/WP.16 into the draft proposed

amendments set out in the annex to MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1." Action taken on the report of the Drafting Group (Part II) – second part 6.96 As instructed by the Committee, the Drafting Group submitted the second, consolidated, part of its report as document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1. 6.97 The Committee noted that the Group had been working strictly in compliance with its Terms of Reference and had finalized the specific paragraphs referred to it by the plenary, as detailed in the annex to document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1, and further noted that the Group did not address any other issues which had not been referred to it. 6.98 The Committee noted that the group, having discussed the text contained within document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1, agreed that no changes should be made to how the phased dates (on or after X years and X months) are referenced in draft regulations 19.1, 19.2, 19.3

Page 60: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24 Page 56

and 19.4, and further noted that the Secretariat should be requested to amend the text by inserting a calendar date at a later stage. Outcome of informal group on a draft resolution on capacity-building and technical assistance 6.99 The Chairman presented orally the outcome of the work of the informal group undertaken on Friday, 15 July on developing a draft MEPC resolution on capacity building, technical assistance and transfer of technology. He stated that good progress was made but that it had not been possible to finalize a draft resolution by consensus as there were several issues where divergence could not be overcome. The Committee noted that there was no time to continue considering the draft MEPC resolution at this session. 6.100 A number of delegations expressed disappointment over the lack of a final outcome on the draft MEPC resolution and argued that, without a complete package, they opposed to continue consideration of the draft amendments. 6.101 The Committee noted that the Chairman would further develop the draft MEPC resolution on capacity building, technical assistance and transfer of technology based on input from delegations during this session and would submit it, with a view to further consideration and final adoption, at MEPC 63. Adoption of the draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on inclusion of a new chapter 4 on energy efficiency of ships 6.102 Having considered the second part of the report of the Drafting Group set out in document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1, the Committee considered whether the proposed draft amendments should be adopted at this session. 6.103 The overwhelming majority of the delegations taking the floor on the issue supported adoption, at this session, of the text set out in the annex to MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1 as they argued that the measures had been under development for several years and were well matured both as technical regulations and as regulatory text. However, a number of delegations opposed adoption at this session as the draft MEPC resolution on capacity building, technical assistance and transfer of technology was not ready for adoption and argued that work should continue with a view to reaching consensus on a total package. 6.104 A number of delegations wanted to continue consideration of the draft text in the Drafting Group as they wanted to see a link between the deferment clause in subparagraphs 4 to 6 of regulation 19 and the capacity building regulations set out in draft regulation 23. Other delegations supported the amendments but reasoned that they should not be adopted at this session but be considered further at MEPC 63, with a view to adoption at that session together with the MEPC resolution on capacity building and the associated guidelines. 6.105 One delegation expressed the view that the amendments should be forwarded to the Subsidiary Body for Technological and Scientific Advice of the UNFCCC for its review and input prior to further consideration by the Committee. 6.106 Some delegations were of the view that the proposed draft amendments still did not reflect sufficiently the concerns of developing countries, specifically in relation to technology transfer and the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR), and so should not be adopted at this session to enable further consideration at MEPC 63. However, many other delegations were of the view that IMO, as a sovereign body, should be respected. The proposed draft amendments reflected,

Page 61: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24 Page 57

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

in their view, a delicate compromise of the views of both sides that following additional drafting amendments made during the session, it reflected the concerns expressed by most delegations, including those of developing countries, and should be adopted at this session. 6.107 Following an extensive discussion, the Chairman invited the Committee to adopt the draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI to include regulations on energy efficiency for ships as contained in annex to document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1. 6.108 The majority of delegations that responded to the Chairman's invitation supported adoption. However, the delegation of Saudi Arabia requested that a vote be held on adoption of the aforementioned draft amendments and the delegation of Brazil requested that, in accordance with Rule 29 of the Rules of Procedure of the Marine Environment Protection Committee, the vote be undertaken by a roll-call. 6.109 The Chairman confirmed that only Parties to MARPOL Annex VI attending MEPC 62 were eligible to vote. The IMO Legal Office confirmed that 59 of the 64 Parties to MARPOL Annex VI were registered to attend MEPC 62. In accordance with Rule 29 of the Committee's Rules of Procedure, the Chairman drew by lot the name of Slovenia, which would be the first Party to vote, followed by other Parties in alphabetical order in English. 6.110 The Committee noted the outcome of the roll-call vote as follows: Yes: 49 Parties: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Belgium,

6.114 The amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, as adopted by the Committee through resolution MEPC.203(62), are set out in annex 19. 6.115 A number of delegations made statements following adoption of the amendments, noting the view that, among other matters, the principle of CBDR should be reflected in all actions taken to combat climate change. The observers of the Pacific Environment and the Clean Shipping Coalition also made statements. As requested, the statements are set out in annex 20. 6.116 The Committee also requested the Secretariat to finalize the draft guidelines for calculation of reference lines for use with the Energy Efficiency Design Index (MEPC 62/6/4, annex 2) and submit them to MEPC 63 with a view to their final adoption. 6.117 The Committee expressed its appreciation to Mr. Zafrul Alam (Singapore) and Dr. Phillip Belcher (Bahamas) for their leadership and excellent work, and to the members of the Drafting Group for the meticulous work done. 7 INTERPRETATIONS OF, AND AMENDMENTS TO, MARPOL AND RELATED

INSTRUMENTS 7.1 The Committee noted that 13 documents had been submitted under this agenda item. 7.2 The Committee also noted that documents MEPC 62/7/6 (IACS), MEPC 62/7/7 (Russian Federation) and MEPC 62/7/8 (IACS), dealing with matters related to MARPOL Annex VI, had been considered under agenda item 4 – Prevention of air pollution from ships; and that document MEPC 62/7/5 (IACS), concerning a perceived incoherency in MARPOL Annex IV, had been considered under agenda item 6 – Consideration and adoption of amendments to mandatory instruments. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO MARPOL ANNEXES I, II, IV, V AND VI ON REGIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR RECEPTION FACILITIES 7.3 The Committee recalled that MEPC 60, having considered documents MEPC 60/6/4 (Australia and SPREP) proposing amendments to MARPOL Annexes I and II and MEPC 60/6/12 (United States) commenting on the former, had encouraged interested delegations and observers to resolve the outstanding issues and submit a joint document with draft amendments to MARPOL Annexes I, II, IV, V and VI, institutionalizing regional arrangements for reception facilities and draft guidelines for establishing those arrangements. The Committee further recalled that MEPC 60 had acknowledged that any regional arrangements were intended only for specific regions of the world, especially Small Island Developing States, and that this understanding should be clearly stated in the draft amendments or guidelines. 7.4 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/7 (Australia and SPREP) proposing amendments to MARPOL Annexes I, II, IV, V and VI to allow Small Island Developing States to satisfy MARPOL's requirements for port reception facilities through regional arrangements, together with draft Guidelines for the development of a Regional Reception Facilities Plan, including provisions for their adoption by the MEPC. 7.5 The Committee noted that the United States, in document MEPC 62/7/10, reiterated its support for the concept of regional arrangements for port reception facilities, which should be institutionalized within each of the pertinent MARPOL Annexes. However, the United States was of the view that the concept should not be restricted to Small Island Developing States

but that all States should be eligible to enter into a regional arrangement on the basis of circumstances of practical difficulty. The United States believed that IMO should not undertake to approve or disapprove regional arrangements and that the preferred alternative is a required notification to IMO by the States in the region when they have taken into account the guidance of the Organization and are prepared to implement the regional arrangement. 7.6 A large number of delegations supported the proposal by Australia and SPREP, while a number of other delegations shared the view of the United States that all States should be eligible to enter into a regional arrangement on the basis of circumstances of practical difficulty. Some delegations expressed concerns on practical difficulties that ships may face, including a possible need for deviation from their commercial route; and that MARPOL Annex II pre-wash requirements at the port of unloading was not adequately addressed in the proposed amendments. 7.7 After discussion, the Committee approved draft amendments to MARPOL Annexes I, II, IV, V and VI on regional arrangements for port reception facilities, set out in annex 21, for circulation, with a view to adoption at MEPC 63. 7.8 Recognizing that the approved amendments to Annex V refer to the existing text of Annex V, the Committee instructed the Secretariat to make necessary adjustments for the approved amendments to fit in the newly adopted revised Annex V. 7.9 The delegation of the United States reserved its position with regard to the Committee's decision to circulate the proposed amendments, and with respect to their limitation to Small Island Developing States. 7.10 The Committee invited Australia and other interested delegations to continue the work on the proposed Guidelines for developing a Regional Reception Facilities Plan and submit a revised version of the Guidelines to MEPC 63, with a view to adoption. 7.11 Following a suggestion by the delegation of Bahamas, the Committee invited the interested delegations and Secretariat to provide information to MEPC 63 on the administrative burdens, as well as any other economic impact, deriving from these proposed amendments, taking into account the outcome of C 105 in this respect. DEVELOPMENT OF ASSOCIATED GUIDELINES TO THE REVISED MARPOL ANNEX V 7.12 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61, having approved draft amendments to MARPOL Annex V with a view to adoption at MEPC 62, had established an intersessional Correspondence Group under the coordination of the United Kingdom to initiate a review of the Guidelines for the implementation of Annex V of MARPOL and the Guidelines for the development of garbage management plans. 7.13 The delegation of the United Kingdom, as coordinator of the Correspondence Group, introduced document MEPC 62/7/1 on the outcome of the Group's work in the intersessional period. The Committee noted that the Group had made significant progress in reviewing the Guidelines and had identified several issues requiring further consideration, as listed in paragraphs 11 to 18 of document MEPC 62/7/1. 7.14 The Committee also considered document MEPC 62/7/2 (Australia) providing a draft text, addressing the disposal of animal carcasses at sea, to be incorporated as part of the revised Guidelines for the implementation of MARPOL Annex V.

7.15 The Committee agreed to re-establish the Correspondence Group, under the coordination of the United Kingdom3, with the following Terms of Reference:

.1 further develop the draft revised Guidelines for the implementation of the revised MARPOL Annex V, taking into account the discussions and comments made in the plenary;

.2 further develop the draft revised Guidelines for the development of garbage

management plans to be part of the revised Guidelines for the implementation of the revised MARPOL Annex V; and

.3 submit a written report to MEPC 63.

7.16 Following a suggestion by the delegation of the Netherlands, the Committee instructed the DSC Sub-Committee to consider the issue of discharging of cargo residues, as referred to in regulation 4.1.3 of the revised MARPOL Annex V, and in particular what constitutes harmful to the marine environment, under a new output for the 2012-2013 biennium "Development of criteria for the evaluation of environmentally hazardous solid bulk cargoes in relation to the revised MARPOL Annex V", with a target completion year of 2012. The Committee noted the intention of the delegation of the Netherlands to submit a relevant document to the Sub-Committee. 7.17 In this connection, the Committee also instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to consider the issue of discharge of cleaning agents or additives in deck washing water, as referred to in regulations 4.2 and 6.2 of the revised MARPOL Annex V, and advise it accordingly. MATTERS RELATED TO MARPOL ANNEX I Regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex I and its associated unified interpretations 7.18 The Committee considered document MEPC 62/7/3 (Hong Kong, China and IACS), seeking clarification on the scope of application of regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex I as amended by resolution MEPC.187(59) and the associated MARPOL Unified Interpretations (UIs) contained in document MEPC 61/24, annex 14. 7.19 The Committee noted the view of the co-sponsors that the most significant revision of regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex I and the associated UIs, from the perspective of system design, was that it no longer contains the provision (first sentence of the "past" MARPOL UI 17.1.3) to allow for an interconnection between the sludge tank discharge piping and bilge-water piping using common piping leading to the standard discharge connection. The co-sponsors further pointed out that this unintentional omission would require ships to have completely separate standard discharge connections and piping leading to that connection.

7.20 Following discussion, the Committee agreed that regulation 12.2.2 of MARPOL Annex I should not be retroactively applied to ships delivered before 1 January 2014* (see note in subparagraph 2), and to the following amendments to the Unified Interpretations to regulations 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4, as contained in document MEPC 61/24, annex 14, allowing for an interconnection between the sludge tank discharge piping and bilge-water piping using common piping leading to the standard discharge connection:

.1 the existing Unified Interpretation to regulation 12.2 should read as an interpretation to regulation 12.2.1; and

.2 a new Unified Interpretation to regulation 12.2.2 is added as follows:

Regulation 12.2.2 – Sludge tank discharge piping There should be no interconnections between the sludge tank discharge piping and bilge-water piping other than possible common piping leading to the standard discharge connection referred to in regulation 13.

For ships delivered before 1 January 2014*, existing arrangements where the oil residue (sludge) tank(s) have discharge connections to oily bilge water holding tank(s), tank top or oily water separator may be accepted. _______________ * Ship delivered before 1 January 2014 means a ship:

.1 for which the building contract is placed before 1 January 2011; or

.2 in the absence of a building contract, the keel of which is laid or which is at a similar stage of construction before 1 January 2012; or

.3 the delivery of which is before 1 January 2014. 7.21 The Committee instructed the Secretariat to issue MEPC.1/Circ.753 on the above revised Unified Interpretations. 7.22 The Committee, in endorsing the view of IACS that while the revised Unified Interpretation to regulation 12.2 could serve as interim guidance, options should be explored to formalize the interpretation, including possible amendments to regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex I, invited IACS and interested delegations to provide their considerations and comments to MEPC 63. Guidance for the recording of operations in the Oil Record Book Part I 7.23 The Committee, having recalled that MEPC 61 had approved the "Guidance for the recording of operations in the Oil Record Book Part I – Machinery space operations (all ships)" (MEPC.1/Circ.736), considered and agreed to a number of minor corrections proposed by Denmark, et al. (MEPC 62/7/4) and India (MEPC 62/7/12, paragraph 3), and subsequently instructed the Secretariat to issue MEPC.1/Circ.736/Rev.1. Amendments to the Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers 7.24 The Committee considered a proposal by the Russian Federation (MEPC 62/7/9) to delete all the references to "oil-like substances" in the "Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers" (resolution MEPC.108(49)). The delegation of the Russian Federation pointed out that, as a consequence of the entry into force of revised MARPOL Annex II, substances are no longer to be classified as "oil-like substances".

MEPC 62/24 Page 62

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

7.25 The delegation of the United Kingdom, supported by others, in concurring with the existence of inconsistencies in the Guidelines, nevertheless suggested that the BLG Sub-Committee should consider the issue further, in light of the newly approved MEPC.1/Circ.761 on Guidelines for the carriage of blends of petroleum oil and bio-fuels (paragraph 11.21.5). 7.26 Consequently, the Committee instructed the BLG Sub-Committee to consider the issue and advise it accordingly. PROPOSAL FOR CIRCULATION OF UNIFIED INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MARPOL CONVENTION 7.27 The Committee, having considered the proposal by the Republic of Korea (MEPC 62/7/11), agreed that future Unified Interpretations (UIs) to regulations under MARPOL Annexes should be circulated by MEPC circulars, and as annexes to the Committee's reports, with a view to facilitating their dissemination. The Committee also instructed the Secretariat to issue MEPC.1/Circ.754 on the list of UIs of the MARPOL Convention adopted since MEPC 45, as contained in the annex to document MEPC 62/7/11. 8 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPRC CONVENTION AND THE OPRC-HNS

PROTOCOL AND RELEVANT CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS 8.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012, with the exception of the Report of the twelfth meeting of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group (MEPC 62/WP.14). Report of the twelfth meeting of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group 8.2 The Committee noted that the twelfth meeting of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group was held from 4 to 8 July 2011 under the chairmanship of Mr. Alexander von Buxhoeveden (Sweden), and that the report of the Group was issued under the symbol MEPC 62/WP.14. 8.3 The Committee approved the report in general and, in particular:

.1 noted the progress made by the Group in updating the IMO dispersant

guidelines; .2 noted the progress made by the Group on the Operational guidelines on

sunken and submerged oil assessment and removal techniques; .3 endorsed the Group's view with regard to the topic of potentially polluting

wrecks and its agreement to treat this subject independently from its work on the development of guidelines for sunken and submerged oil and to further assess the matter at TG 13;

.4 invited Member States to submit information on wrecks of interest to future

meetings of the Group; .5 noted the discussions on the safe operation and performance standards of

oil pollution combating equipment (OPCE) and endorsed the Group's decision to confine this work to the safe operation of OPCE;

.6 endorsed the Group's participation in reviewing and updating the OPRC model training courses, levels 1 to 3, to be undertaken by the Secretariat, having recognized that the information contained therein is dated and the look and feel of the courses required modernization;

.7 continued to urge delegations to submit information on HNS pollution

incidents to be included in the summary of incidents and to submit relevant information to further expand the inventory of information resources on OPRC/HNS-related matters;

.8 noted the Secretariat's ongoing support to the Triennial Oil Spill Conference

Series; .9 noted the actions taken by the IMO Secretariat, in collaboration with other

UN agencies, in responding to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Facility incident in the aftermath of the recent tsunami in Japan, in accordance with the provisions of the Joint Radiation Emergency Management Plan of the International Organizations (JPlan);

.10 endorsed the Group's intention to postpone its work on oil spill response in

ice and snow, in light of similar work being undertaken by the petroleum industry, in order to benefit from that work and avoid duplication of effort;

.11 noted the preliminary results of the prioritization exercise for items of

high-priority work related to HNS and oil and concurred with the Group's proposal to analyse the information in more depth, with a view to providing a more comprehensive assessment at MEPC 64;

.12 approved the planned outputs and provisional agenda of the thirteenth

meeting of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group and the exceptional request to schedule that meeting during the week following MEPC 63, to allow delegations to participate in Interspill, the IMO-sponsored European oil spill conference that would take place the week following the proposed scheduling of TG 13; and

.13 welcomed the re-election of Mr. Alexander von Buxhoeveden (Sweden) as

Chairman and Mr. Woo-Rack Suh (Republic of Korea) as Vice-Chairman of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group, both for the year 2012.

8.4 The Committee also noted the statement made by the International Spill Control Organization (ISCO) with regard to its efforts, at the general level, to improve oil spill response and, more specifically, as they related to the defence of those contractors involved in the Deepwater Horizon incident, and the invitation by ISCO to environmental NGOs to participate in this work. 9 IDENTIFICATION AND PROTECTION OF SPECIAL AREAS AND

PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE SEA AREAS Designation of the Strait of Bonifacio as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) 9.1 The Committee recalled that MEPC 61 had approved, in principle, the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA, subject to a review by the PSSA Technical Group, which had been proposed by France and Italy, and had requested the NAV Sub-Committee to consider the Associated Protective Measures (APMs).

Page 68: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24 Page 64

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

9.2 In considering document MEPC 62/9/1 (Secretariat), which reported on the outcome of NAV 57 on the matter, the Committee noted that the Sub-Committee had considered the information provided by the proponents in relation to the effective implementation date of the proposed APM and approved the proposed "Recommendation on navigation through the Strait of Bonifacio" as the APM for "the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA". The Committee also noted that the approval and implementation date of the APM for the PSSA, as set out in the annex of document MEPC 62/9/1, are subject to the decision of MSC 90 in May 2012. 9.3 The Committee, having considered the outcome of NAV 57, and the comments made in plenary, decided to establish an informal Technical Group on PSSAs to review the information provided and to advise the Committee for action as appropriate. Designation of the Saba Bank as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area 9.4 The Committee considered the proposal submitted by the Netherlands (MEPC 62/9) to designate the Saba Bank as a PSSA in accordance with the Revised PSSA Guidelines (resolution A.982(24)). 9.5 The delegation of the Netherlands, during introduction of its proposal, made the following points:

.1 the proposed marine area to be designated lies entirely within the EEZ of the Caribbean island of Saba and aims to protect the fragile coral reef ecosystems, sea turtle foraging areas and important spawning and fishing grounds which currently suffer from international shipping that pass through the area. It is a unique and highly significant area for the entire Caribbean region being one of the largest atolls in the world, measuring 1,850 km2 (above the 50 m depth contour); and

.2 the proposal includes the establishment of two APMs within the PSSA,

as follows:

.1 an "Area to be Avoided" for ships exceeding 300 GT aimed at reducing the risk of collisions with fishing boats, physical damage and pollution from groundings and operational and accidental discharges and the loss of so-called ghost traps; and

.2 a "mandatory no anchoring area", which would significantly

prevent and reduce the destruction of living corals and other benthic organisms from merchant ships' anchors and chains.

9.6 The Committee, having noted that the two APMs were intended to prevent damage to the atoll ecosystem and its related ecosystems from merchant shipping activities, referred the proposal to the informal Technical Group for review and to advise the Committee on any action to be taken, as appropriate. Instructions to the informal Technical Group on PSSAs 9.7 The Committee established the informal Technical Group, under the Chairmanship of Mr. Paul Nelson (Australia), and instructed it to:

.1 review the proposal by France and Italy to designate the Strait of Bonifacio as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (MEPC 61/9; MEPC 61/INF.26 and MEPC 62/9/1)), taking into account comments from plenary, with a view to assessing whether it meets the provisions of the Revised PSSA Guidelines

(resolution A.982(24)) and whether all the information required by the Guidance Document for Submission of PSSA Proposals to IMO (MEPC.1/Circ.510) has been provided; if satisfied, prepare a draft MEPC resolution with a view to designating the "Strait of Bonifacio PSSA";

.2 review the proposal by the Netherlands for the designation of the Saba Bank

as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (MEPC 62/9) with a view to assessing whether it meets the provisions of the Revised PSSA Guidelines (resolution A.982(24)) and whether all the information required by the Guidance Document for Submission of PSSA Proposals to IMO (MEPC.1/Circ.510) has been provided; and advise the Committee on any action to be taken, as appropriate; and

.3 provide a written report, including recommendations, to plenary on

Thursday, 14 July 2011. Report of the informal Technical Group on PSSAs 9.8 The Committee, having considered the report of the informal Technical Group (MEPC 62/WP.12), as introduced by its Chairman Mr. Paul Nelson (Australia), approved it in general and, in particular:

.1 agreed that the proposal by France and Italy (MEPC 61/9, MEPC 61/INF.26, MEPC 62/9/1, NAV 57/3/8) met the requirements of the Revised PSSA Guidelines (resolution A.982(24)) and adopted resolution MEPC.204(62), as set out in annex 22 on the designation of the Strait of Bonifacio as a PSSA; and

.2 agreed that the proposal by the Netherlands met the requirements of the

Revised PSSA Guidelines (resolution A.982(24)) and approved, in principle, the designation of the Saba Bank as a PSSA; and noted that the Netherlands would submit detailed proposals for the APMs to the Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation, which would provide recommendations to the Committee with a view to final designation of the PSSA at MEPC 64 in October 2012.

9.9 The Committee, having noted the Group's advice for submitting PSSA proposals in the future, reminded Member Governments that they should provide:

.1 where appropriate, information about the ecological linkages between terrestrial species and ecosystems and the marine environment, as well as the threat posed to terrestrial species and ecosystems by shipping activities. This would enable the Technical Group to have a scientific basis to consider whether or not the criteria for the designation of PSSAs had been satisfied;

.2 clear supporting documentation to establish that at least one of the criteria

exists throughout the entire proposed area, though the same criterion need not be present throughout the entire area; and

.3 supporting documents where the proposed area is deemed to be under

threat from shipping activities due to hydrodynamic conditions (for example prevailing currents, wind direction). This scientific justification is crucial since the size and coverage of the PSSA would depend on the PSSA designation criteria being satisfied.

9.10 The Committee also reminded Member Governments that full details of the legal basis of any proposed APMs, whether or not the APMs relate to an existing IMO measure, should be provided in all proposals. In this regard, applications should identify the legal basis and should include information on the consistency of the APM with the legal instrument under which the APM is proposed. 9.11 The Committee emphasized the need to ensure that applications that identify a new APM must append a draft of the proposal that is to be submitted to the appropriate Sub-Committee or Committee. 9.12 The delegation of Singapore noted that some procedures in assessing the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA application did not follow the sequence as set out in the Revised Guidelines for the Identification and Designation of PSSAs and highlighted that the procedures in assessing the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA application should not be regarded as a precedent for future PSSA applications. Singapore also emphasized the principle that all PSSA applications must follow the guidelines and procedures that have been adopted by IMO. As requested, the statement of Singapore is set out in annex 23. 9.13 The Committee thanked Mr. Nelson (Australia) and the members of the Group for the excellent work they had carried out. 10 INADEQUACY OF RECEPTION FACILITIES 10.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012. 11 REPORTS OF SUB-COMMITTEES Outcome of DE 54 11.1 The Committee noted that the fifty-fourth session of the Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Equipment (DE 54) had been held from 25 to 29 October 2010 and its report on that session had been circulated under the symbol DE 54/23. The matters of interest to the Committee's work were set out in document MEPC 62/11 (Secretariat). 11.2 The Committee approved the report of DE 54 concerning the work of the MEPC in general and took action as indicated in the ensuing paragraphs. Interpretation on application of SOLAS, MARPOL and Load Line requirements for major conversions of oil tankers 11.3 The Committee approved, following the concurrent decision taken by MSC 89 and endorsing the subsequent comments provided by NAV 57 concerning navigation bridge visibility (see paragraphs 11.37 and 11.38), the draft MSC-MEPC circular on Unified interpretations on the application of SOLAS, MARPOL and Load Line requirements to conversions of single-hull tankers to double-hull tankers or bulk carriers (DE 54/23, annex 4) and instructed the Secretariat to issue this as MSC-MEPC.2/Circ.10. 11.4 In relation to this circular, IACS proposed that as MSC.1/Circ.1284 contains interpretations of SOLAS regulations II-1/1.3 and II-1/3-6, which are now included in the new circular, MSC.1/Circ.1284 should be revoked. The Committee agreed with the principle to revoke MSC.1/Circ.1284 but noted that this matter needed to be referred back to the MSC for consideration.

Noise from commercial shipping and its adverse impacts on marine life 11.5 The Committee noted the decision of DE 54 to postpone the consideration of the issue of noise from commercial shipping and its adverse impacts on marine life to DE 55. This had been necessary as the time interval from when MEPC 61 had referred the matter to DE 54 was rather short and delegations were therefore unable to consult with their experts in order to generate comments in time for DE 54. Test standards for type approval of add-on equipment 11.6 The Committee adopted, by resolution MEPC.205(62), the 2011 Guidelines and specifications for add-on equipment for upgrading resolution MEPC.60(33)-compliant oil filtering equipment, as set out in annex 24 and endorsed the view of DE 54 that these Guidelines and specifications should not apply retroactively. Measures to promote Integrated Bilge Water Treatment Systems 11.7 The Committee noted that DE 54 had decided to further consider the issue of promotion of integrated bilge water treatment systems (IBTS) at DE 55. Guidelines for a shipboard oil waste pollution prevention plan 11.8 The Committee approved the draft MEPC circular on Guidelines for a shipboard oily waste pollution prevention plan (DE 54/23, annex 9) and instructed the Secretariat to issue this as MEPC.1/Circ.759. Manually operated alternatives in the event of pollution prevention equipment malfunctions 11.9 In relation to the concerns raised at DE 54 regarding the juridical status, i.e. mandatory or recommendatory, of resolution MEPC.108(49) on Revised guidelines and specifications for oil discharge monitoring and control systems for oil tankers, the Committee, noting that a full evaluation of this topic was necessary, decided, due to time constraints, to postpone discussion on this item until its next session (MEPC 63). 11.10 Similarly, the Committee also decided to postpone discussions on the draft MEPC resolution (DE 54/23, annex 10) on Amendments to the Revised guidelines and specifications for oil discharge monitoring and control systems for oil tankers (resolution MEPC.108(49)) until MEPC 63. Completed work items 11.11 The Committee, noted that the work on Test standards for type approval of add-on equipment and Guidelines for a shipboard oil waste pollution prevention plan, had now been completed and that, accordingly, these two items should be deleted from the work programme of the Sub-Committee. With respect to the work on Manually operated alternatives in the event of pollution prevention equipment malfunction, as noted in paragraphs 11.9 and 11.10, consideration of this item was deferred by the Committee until its next session.

Harmonization of Port State Control activities 11.27 The Committee approved, noting MSC's concurrent decision, Procedures for Port State Control, 2011 and an associated draft Assembly resolution, for submission to the Assembly for adoption at its twenty-seventh session, as set out in annex 28. 11.28 The Committee also approved, noting MSC's concurrent decision, the further development of the Guidelines for port State control officers related to the ISM Code in co-operation with the Joint MSC/MEPC Working Group on the Human Element. 11.29 The Committee noted the decision taken on the further development of the Guidelines for port State control under the 2004 BWM Convention. Review of the survey guidelines under the HSSC 11.30 In considering the perceived port State control problem regarding the first issuance of an IAPP Certificate to a newbuild, prior to the ship having received any bunkers and consequently not being in possession of the required bunker delivery notes, and also the approval of a draft MEPC circular on the Revised form of supplement to the International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate, to amend MEPC.1/Circ.718, the Committee noted that these action points had already been covered under agenda item 4 (see paragraphs 4.31 and 4.32). 11.31 The Committee approved, noting MSC's concurrent decision, draft Survey Guidelines under the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification (HSSC), 2011, as consolidated by the Secretariat, and the associated draft Assembly resolution for submission to the Assembly for adoption at its twenty-seventh session, as set out in annex 29. Review of the Code for the implementation of mandatory IMO instruments and the development of a Code for recognized organizations 11.32 In considering document MEPC 62/11/9 (United States), which proposed deletion of the square brackets around text proposed by the United States aiming to clarify that in both the draft IMO Instruments Implementation Code (III Code) and the Recognized Organizations Code (RO Code), a regulatory regime only applies between the flag State and the recognized organization it has authorized, the Committee agreed, noting that a concurrent conclusion had been reached at MSC 89, to delete the square brackets around the proposed text in both draft instruments and keep the text*. Subsequently, the Committee:

.1 approved, noting MSC's concurrent decision, the revised Code for the implementation of mandatory IMO instruments in its mandatory form, renamed as "IMO Instruments Implementation Code (IIIC)", for submission to the Assembly at an appropriate session, for adoption;

.2 noted the considerations and rationale for the process of making the

IMO Instruments Implementation Code and auditing mandatory; .3 approved, noting MSC's concurrent decision, the draft Code for the

implementation of mandatory IMO instruments, 2011, as consolidated by the Secretariat, and the associated draft Assembly resolution for submission, as set out in annex 30, through the Council at its twenty-sixth extraordinary session, to the Assembly at its twenty-seventh session for adoption;

* The Committee noted that several reservations had been entered by some Member States with regard to

the decision of MSC 89 on the two draft instruments (see MSC 89/25, paragraph 12.17).

.4 extended, noting MSC's concurrent decision, the target completion date of the output on the development of a Code for Recognized Organizations (RO Code) to the year 2012; and

.5 noted the request to the Secretariat to prepare the draft text of a relevant

instrument to adopt the RO Code and draft amendments to existing instruments to make the Code mandatory, and to give future consideration of the time period to be set between the adoption of the Code and the entry into force of the regulations mandating that RO Code.

Biennial agenda and provisional agenda for FSI 20 11.33 The Committee approved the Sub-Committee's draft 2012-2013 biennial agenda and provisional agenda for FSI 20 (see also paragraph 20.10) and noted the status of planned outputs of the High-level Action Plan of the Organization and priorities for the 2010-2011 biennium relevant to the Sub-Committee. Outcome of STW 42 11.34 The Committee noted that the forty-second session of the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping (STW 42) had been held from 24 to 28 January 2011 and its report on that session had been circulated under the symbol STW 42/14. In considering the report, the Committee noted the following points in relation to the validation of model courses:

.1 the Sub-Committee had considered document STW 42/3/2 submitted by the Netherlands which provided detailed information on a draft model course on marine environmental awareness;

.2 the Sub-Committee had validated the model course, as amended by a

drafting group, and instructed the Secretariat to finalize and publish it as soon as possible; and

.3 the Sub-Committee had recalled that the validation of model courses meant

that it found no grounds to object to their contents. In doing so, the Sub-Committee did not approve the document and it could not therefore be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention.

Outcome of DSC 15 11.35 The Committee noted that the fifteenth session of the Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers had been held from 13 to 17 September 2010 and its report on that session had been circulated under the symbol DSC 15/18. 11.36 The Committee noted the outcome of the Sub-Committee's consideration of matters related to waste reception facilities for goods subject to MARPOL Annex III and, in particular, endorsed the view that amendments to MARPOL Annex III are not considered necessary, taking into account that when packaged cargoes are damaged, they no longer fall within the definition of packaged cargo and, therefore, could be treated as residues or wastes, which are covered under MARPOL Annex V.

Outcome of NAV 57 11.37 The Committee noted that the fifty-seventh session of the Sub-Committee on Navigation (NAV 57) was held from 6 to 10 June 2011 and its report on that session will be circulated under the symbol NAV 57/15. An urgent matter arising from this meeting concerned the Unified Interpretations on the application of SOLAS, MARPOL and Load Line requirements to conversions of single-hull tankers to double-hull tankers or bulk carriers/ore carriers, as reported in document MEPC 62/11/11 (Secretariat). NAV 57 had been requested to comment on a draft MSC-MEPC circular on this subject and, subsequently, part of the draft circular, as set out in document DE 54/23, annex 4 (paragraph 9 of appendix 1), had been reviewed, resulting in the following amended text:

"Regulation 22 Navigation bridge visibility For single-hull oil tanker conversion into double-hull oil tanker or bulk carrier, the level of visibility possessed by the ship prior to the conversion at the ballast loading condition should be maintained after the conversion. Where a conversion involves the modification of structural arrangements used to establish minimum bridge visibility, the provisions of SOLAS regulation V/22 should apply."

11.38 After consideration, the Committee approved the modification for inclusion in the MSC-MEPC circular on Unified interpretations on the application of SOLAS, MARPOL and Load Line requirements to conversions of single-hull tankers to double-hull tankers or bulk carriers, as noted earlier (see paragraph 11.3). 12 WORK OF OTHER BODIES Outcome of FAL 36 12.1 The Committee noted that the thirty-sixth session of the Facilitation Committee (FAL 36) was held from 6 to 10 September 2010 and its report had been circulated under the symbol FAL 36/17.

.1 concurred with the action taken by MSC 88 and approved the proposed amendments to the draft revised list of certificates and documents required to be carried on board ships; and

.2 decided to defer, due to time constraints, consideration of the proposal that

future revisions of the list of certificates and documents required to be carried on board ships should be initiated by the MSC on a regular basis.

12.4 In considering document MEPC 62/12/Add.1, the Committee approved the inclusion of additional entries concerning MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code in the revised list of certificates and documents required to be carried on board ships, as set out in the annex to that document.

15 PROMOTION OF IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF MARPOL AND RELATED INSTRUMENTS

15.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012. 16 TECHNICAL CO-OPERATION SUB-PROGRAMME FOR THE PROTECTION OF

THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 16.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012. 17 ROLE OF THE HUMAN ELEMENT 17.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012. 18 FORMAL SAFETY ASSSESSMENT 18.1 The Committee recalled that MEPC 56, in July 2007, had noted that the one matter that needed consideration within the context of the Formal Safety Assessment Guidelines relevant to its work was the draft Environmental Risk Evaluation Criteria. It was recognized that there was a need to carry out a more in-depth analysis of the proposed environmental risk evaluation criteria for the purpose of the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) before inclusion of such criteria in the IMO FSA Guidelines (MSC/Circ.1023-MEPC/Circ.392, as consolidated in MSC 83/INF.2). 18.2 The Committee also recalled that while progress had been made on this subject since MEPC 56 through work carried out by correspondence, MEPC 60, noting that further work was needed on the subject, had established a Working Group on Environmental Risk Evaluation Criteria within the framework of the FSA methodology. In approving the report of the Working Group, MEPC 60 had noted that progress had been made in determining a CATS criterion (Cost of Averting a Tonne of Oil Spilled) based on a non-linear volume dependent function, and urged Member Governments/organizations to verify and adjust, as necessary, the proposed regression formula and to submit the data for each cost component and the results of the analysis for consideration by the Committee. 18.3 The Committee further recalled that MEPC 61, when considering the submissions at that session, had noted that the contributions originated from the same four Member States and had agreed that data from other Administrations were needed if the Committee was to make well founded decisions. Member Governments/organizations were urged to provide information, particularly on the cost of oil spills, to ensure that any derived oil spill cost function is representative of oil spill data. MEPC 61 had also agreed to establish a working group at MEPC 62, with a view to concluding the work. MSC was invited to note the progress to date and the timelines to finalize this work. 18.4 The Committee noted that six documents were submitted under this agenda item: MEPC 62/18 and MEPC 62/18/1 (Greece); MEPC 62/18/2 (Japan); and MEPC 62/18/3, MEPC 62/18/4 and MEPC 62/INF.24 (Germany, Japan and the United States). On a proposal by the Chairman, the Committee agreed that the documents be introduced in the working group to be established, recognizing that the outcome of the group would be reported to plenary for its consideration.

Establishment of the Working Group 18.5 The Committee established the Working Group on Environmental Risk Evaluation Criteria under the chairmanship of Professor Harilaos N. Psaraftis (Greece) with the following Terms of Reference:

Using documents MEPC 62/18, MEPC 62/18/1, MEPC 62/18/2, MEPC 62/18/3, MEPC 62/18/4 and MEPC 62/INF.24 as a basis, and taking into account any other information and comments, the Working Group was instructed to: .1 finalize in Step 4 of the FSA an appropriate volume-dependent CATS

global threshold scale or function for ascertaining if a specific Risk Control Option (RCO) is cost-effective, including its integration within the FSA methodology;

.2 recommend a way of combining environmental and safety criteria for those

RCOs that affect both environmental and fatality risk; .3 conclude on an appropriate risk matrix or index for environmental criteria; .4 recommend an appropriate ALARP region and F-N diagram, including an

appropriate value for the slope of the F-N curve; and .5 submit a written report to plenary on Thursday, 14 July 2011.

18.6 In releasing the Working Group, the Committee reminded the Group that while much effort had been made over the last three years to progress the work on environmental risk evaluation criteria, conclusion of this work was earmarked for 2011, as established in the High-level Action Plan of the Organization, and, therefore, every effort should be made to adhere to this timeline, given that these criteria were slated for inclusion in the IMO FSA Guidelines. Report of the Working Group on Environmental Risk Evaluation Criteria 18.7 The Committee considered and approved the report of the Working Group (MEPC 62/WP.13) in general and, in particular:

.1 endorsed the consolidated oil spill database and requested the Secretariat to arrange to make it publicly available;

.2 endorsed the approach on an appropriate volume-dependent CATS global

threshold function for ascertaining if a specific Risk Control Option (RCO) is cost-effective, including the cost functions proposed and its integration within the FSA methodology;

.3 endorsed the proposal on how to combine environmental and safety criteria

for RCOs that reduce environmental and safety risk; .4 endorsed the proposal on how to proceed on the ALARP region and

.6 agreed that the work on the development of environmental risk evaluation criteria within the framework of the FSA Guidelines is completed and this item can be deleted from the agenda of MEPC 63 and the High-level Action Plan of the Organization.

18.8 Referring to paragraph 35 of the report of the Working Group, the delegations of Brazil and China reserved their position with regard to the procedures for drafting the annex to the report of the Working Group since, in their opinion, when the draft report was presented to the Group for its consideration, it was only to be subjected to minor editorial changes and the establishment of a sub-group/splinter group to develop such an annex was not in keeping with the methods of work of the Organization. Furthermore, it was their view that the preparation of a text for incorporation in the FSA Guidelines went beyond the terms of reference of the Group. The delegations of Brazil and China noted that they would be willing to lift their reservation should the Committee agree to establish a correspondence group to analyse the annex for incorporation in the FSA Guidelines. 18.9 The Chairman of the Working Group explained that the text produced for the annex was drafted by a splinter group open to all members of the Working Group, and that the subsequent text was circulated to the entire Working Group, and thereafter thoroughly discussed and reviewed by it. In doing so, all members of the Working Group had the opportunity to participate in the drafting and to discuss and review the text. 18.10 The delegation of Norway, in supporting the working procedures of the Group and the explanation given by the Chairman, emphasized that, in its view, there had not been a deviation from the procedures, nor from the Terms of Reference given to the Group. 18.11 Following an intervention by the delegation of Denmark, the Committee noted that the review of an FSA study on crude oil tankers was still pending (MEPC 58/17/2 and MEPC 58/INF.2), and, with the conclusion of the work on Environmental Risk Evaluation Criteria (EREC), the Committee agreed to invite MSC to forward the study to its FSA Experts Group for consideration. 19 NOISE FROM COMMERCIAL SHIPPING AND ITS ADVERSE IMPACTS ON

MARINE LIFE 19.1 The Committee, due to time constraints, agreed to postpone consideration of all documents submitted under this item until its next session in February/March 2012. 20 WORK PROGRAMME OF THE COMMITTEE AND SUBSIDIARY BODIES Revision of the Standard specification for shipboard incinerators (resolution MEPC.76(40)) 20.1 The Committee noted the proposal by Denmark (MEPC 62/20) to revise resolution MEPC.76(40), as amended by resolution MEPC.93(45), to take into consideration whether an upper limit of the incinerator capacity (presently 1,500 kW) is needed at all or whether to extend the scope of the resolution to apply to incinerators with capacities of up to 3,000-5,000 kW, for inclusion as a new planned output of the DE Sub-Committee for the 2012-2013 biennium. 20.2 In accordance with paragraph 2.20 of the Committees' Guidelines (MSC-MEPC.1/Circ.2), the Chairman made a preliminary assessment (MEPC 62/WP.7, annex 1) on the proposed new planned output by Denmark. The Chairman's assessment showed that the criteria for general acceptance provided in paragraph 2.10 of the Committees' Guidelines had been met.

ANNEX 1

STATEMENT BY THE DELEGATION OF BRAZIL ON THE PROVISIONAL AGENDA AND THE PROPOSED TIMETABLE

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good morning to you, good morning to all. Before approving the provisional agenda, Brazil would like to request that all documents related to the reduction of GHG emissions from ships that were submitted under agenda item 6.2 be considered under agenda item 5. Document MEPC 62/6/3, which presents an amendment proposal containing mandatory technical and operational measures under MARPOL Annex VI, constitutes a new draft proposal that needs to be subject to a first examination by the Committee under agenda item 5 before consideration under agenda item 6. The amendment proposal differs from what was prepared by the Working Group on GHG at MEPC 61. From what is contained in the report of MEPC 61(MEPC 61/24), and according to the practice of this Organization and to the rules for amendments to the MARPOL Convention and its Annexes, the proposal must be referred to consideration by Parties, before it can be considered for adoption by the Committee under agenda item 6. This first consideration should be undertaken under item 5 of the provisional agenda, which refers to the reduction of GHG emissions from ships. Brazil would like to note that more than 70 documents on GHG emissions from ships were submitted for consideration by the Committee, which is a clear indication that this issue is still premature for approval. It is, thus, essential that the amendment proposal and related documents be considered by a working group to be established under agenda item 5. This would also enable the Committee to address the technical, economic and technological uncertainties and the calculation issues related to the EEDI and SEEMP, before it considers approving the proposed amendments. Furthermore, Mr. Chairman, Brazil requests that this statement be reflected in the final report of this Committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objectives of the guidelines These guidelines provide stakeholders, particularly Ship Recycling Facilities, with recommendations for the development of a Ship Recycling Plan (SRP) in accordance with the requirements of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (hereafter referred to as "the Convention"). It should be noted that regulation 9 of the annex to the Convention requires the Ship Recycling Facility to develop a ship-specific SRP, taking these guidelines into account. These guidelines should be used primarily by Ship Recycling Facilities, taking into account information provided by the shipowner. Competent Authorities and Administrations may also find merit in these guidelines with respect to the approval process and implementation of the Convention. 1.2 Approach of the guidelines Regulation 9 of the Annex to the Convention requires Ship Recycling Facilities to prepare a ship-specific SRP. These guidelines are separated into two parts: general guidance on information that should be gathered and reviewed by the Ship Recycling Facility in order to develop the SRP (section 3: General) and guidance for the recommended content of a ship-specific SRP (section 4: Framework of SRP). 2 DEFINITIONS The terms used in these guidelines have the same meaning as those defined in the Convention and in the Guidelines for Safe and Environmentally Sound Ship Recycling ("Facility Guidelines"). The following additional definition applies to these guidelines only: "The ship" means the particular ship which a Ship Recycling Facility is going to recycle, and for which an SRP is required. 3 GENERAL The Convention requires that the SRP should be explicitly or tacitly approved by the Competent Authority and verified as properly reflecting the information contained in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) during the final survey before issuance of an International Ready for Recycling Certificate. Preparation of the SRP should therefore begin well before the ship arrives at the Ship Recycling Facility. As regards the languages of the SRP, in accordance with regulation 9.2 of the annex to the Convention, the shipowner may ask the Administration whether it is acceptable for the Ship Recycling Facility to use a language other than English, French or Spanish, and convey the decision of the Administration to the Ship Recycling Facility accordingly. 3.1 Review of ship-specific information For each ship that is to be recycled, the Ship Recycling Facility should, in accordance with regulation 8.4 of the Annex to the Convention, cooperate with the shipowner in order to prepare a SRP that incorporates all relevant information about the ship that may affect its safe and environmentally sound recycling.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 2, page 4

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

The IHM is essential to the Ship Recycling Facility for planning and executing the removal and management of Hazardous Materials. The Ship Recycling Facility should obtain the completed IHM, including Part II and Part III, taking into account possible variations resulting from the ship's subsequent operations. Examples of ship-specific information that is useful to the Ship Recycling Facility when developing a SRP include finished drawings and final specifications such as: general arrangement, capacity plan, shell expansion plan, fire control plan, trim and stability calculation, and light weight distribution or calculation table. Also the following may provide useful information: midship section, construction profile (including longitudinal sections, deck, inner bottom and deckhouse), longitudinal and transverse bulkhead principal transverse sections, fore and aft construction, superstructures, accommodation plan, hydrostatic curve or table, deck piping system, general arrangement of ventilators and air ducts, painting scheme, joiner works, engine room arrangement (if appropriate) and bilge piping system of pump room, pump room arrangement, engine room piping diagram, ballast piping and cargo piping diagram and manufacturers' finished drawings of major equipment. Such information could be useful in planning the ship recycling sequence in its entirety. 3.2 Comparison of ship-specific information with the Ship Recycling Facility Plan

(SRFP) and/or Document of Authorization to conduct Ship Recycling (DASR) For each ship to be recycled, the ship-specific information obtained from the shipowner should be evaluated in the context of the capabilities and limitations specified in the Ship Recycling Facility Plan (SRFP) and/or Document of Authorization to conduct Ship Recycling (DASR). The SRP will need to address any ship-specific considerations that are not covered in the SRFP or that will require special procedures. 4 FRAMEWORK OF SRP The responsibility for developing a comprehensive SRP rests with the Ship Recycling Facility, although development of the SRP is a cooperative effort between the Ship Recycling Facility and the shipowner. The Ship Recycling Facility is best placed to understand and describe the methods and procedures that it uses in its recycling operations and it has knowledge of the available facilities and capabilities for the safe and environmentally sound management of all Hazardous Materials and wastes generated during recycling, of the skills and capabilities of its workforce and the availability of local support services, and of the relevant national laws and regulations that apply to the facility and its activities, including the activities which it is approved to perform under its DASR. A sample cover page for the SRP is included in the appendix. The body of the SRP should include a more detailed narrative of the ship-specific recycling elements. The SRP should describe how the Ship Recycling Facility will recycle the specific ship in a safe and environmentally sound manner, covering the recycling process steps and their sequence over the entire process. Any processes or procedures that deviate from the SRFP and are specific to the ship should be described in detail in the SRP. Where more than one Ship Recycling Facility is used, SRPs should be prepared separately, in principle, by each of the Facilities involved, according to their respective duties and indicate the order in which the activities will occur. 4.1 Pre-arrival elements The SRP should include a description of any specific preparatory work that should be carried out. The SRP should clarify whether and to what extent any preparatory work – such as

Page 93: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24 Annex 2, page 5

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

pre-treatment, identification of potential hazards and removal of stores – will take place at a location other than the Ship Recycling Facility identified in the SRP. The extent to which such preparatory work will be covered in the SRP will depend upon the capability of the authorized Ship Recycling Facility and the scope of the agreement with the shipowner. In the case of a tanker, the ship should arrive at the Ship Recycling Facility with cargo tanks and pump room(s) in a condition that is ready for certification as Safe-for-entry, or Safe-for-hot work, or both. The Ship Recycling Facility should plan appropriately for the ship's arrival. The SRP should include the location where the ship will be placed during recycling operations and a concise plan for the arrival and safe placement of the specific ship to be recycled. 4.2 Arrival of ship The SRP should describe the procedures that the Ship Recycling Facility will follow to conduct a walk-through (on-board check) of the vessel in an effort to identify any potential environmental or safety issues. The Ship Recycling Facility should verify whether safe access and egress have been provided for and that the SRP is in place throughout the ship recycling process. It is recommended that the Ship Recycling Facility should mark the location of the known Hazardous Materials. Any specific items or locations on board whose hazardous characteristics are uncertain should be marked for additional sampling as necessary. 4.3 Management of Hazardous Materials The SRP should include information on how the type and amount of Hazardous Materials will be managed, as required by regulation 9.3 of the Convention and specify the facility's approach for managing each Hazardous Material. Special attention should be paid to the types and quantities of Hazardous Materials on the ship. If ship-specific conditions require deviation from normal practices for managing Hazardous Materials, the appropriate ship-specific measures should be described in detail in the SRP. In order to avoid confusion, it is recommended that the SRP should use the same nomenclature and identification scheme as those included in the IHM. The SRP should also contain additional information on the management of Hazardous Materials as required in Appendix 5 of the Convention (also known as the DASR). Specifically, the SRP should describe where the Hazardous Materials are to be processed or disposed of if the operation is not being conducted at the Ship Recycling Facility. The SRP should state that the removal of Hazardous Materials will be undertaken by responsible personnel who are trained and authorized to do so. 4.4 Safe-for-entry and Safe-for-hot-work procedures Regulation 9 of the Convention requires the SRP to include information concerning the establishment, maintenance and monitoring of Safe-for-entry and Safe-for-hot-work procedures. The Ship Recycling Facility is encouraged to review the Facility Guidelines, as they contain specific technical recommendations to address these important safety issues. While the SRFP will describe general procedures on how the Ship Recycling Facility will achieve safe atmospheric conditions during the ship recycling process, the SRP should describe in detail how Safe-for-entry and Safe-for-hot-work procedures will be implemented on the specific ship, taking account of such features as its structure, configuration, and previous cargo.

4.5 Dismantling sequence An important component of the dismantling sequence is the removal of Hazardous Materials to the maximum extent practicable prior to and during cutting activities. Depending on a number of factors, including the age of the ship and the quantity of Hazardous Materials present, it may be impossible to remove all Hazardous Materials prior to the start of cutting activities. The SRP should include a dismantling sequence that is ship-specific and takes into account the cutting operations and locations of Hazardous Materials. 4.6 Other necessary elements In addition to the elements described above, the SRP should include any ship specific processes and/or procedures that will be necessary to recycle the ship and that are not fully covered in the SRFP. For example, a Ship Recycling Facility may need to use additional workers or subcontractors, or they may need additional equipment to deal with unique aspects of the ship. Such ship-specific processes/procedures may take into account the technical guidance manual to be developed by the Organization. 4.7 Attaching a copy of DASR The Ship Recycling Facility should attach a copy of the DASR to the SRP. 5 VERIFICATION OF COMPETENT AUTHORITY APPROVAL Article 16.6 of the Convention stipulates that a State shall declare whether it requires tacit or explicit approval of the SRP before a ship may be recycled. The Ship Recycling Facility should be familiar with the procedures implemented by the Competent Authority for approval of the SRP. The Competent Authority's approval process will, at a minimum, include written acknowledgement of receipt of the SRP and may include further written documentation of approval or denial for the ship-specific recycling. The written acknowledgement and/or documentation of approval should be appended to the SRP immediately upon availability and made available to appropriate authorities and stakeholders as necessary.

ANNEX

2011 GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVENTORY OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

1 Introduction 1.1 Objectives of the Guidelines These Guidelines provide recommendations for developing the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter referred to as "the Inventory") to assist compliance with regulation 5 (Inventory of Hazardous Materials) of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as "the Convention"). 1.2 Application of the Guidelines These Guidelines have been developed to provide relevant stakeholders (e.g., shipbuilders, equipment suppliers, repairers, shipowners and ship management companies) with the essential requirements for practical and logical development of the Inventory. 1.3 Objectives of the Inventory The objectives of the Inventory are to provide ship-specific information on the actual Hazardous Materials present on board, in order to protect health and safety and to prevent environmental pollution at Ship Recycling Facilities. This information will be used by the Ship Recycling Facilities in order to decide how to manage the types and amounts of materials identified in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (regulation 9). 2 Definitions The terms used in these Guidelines have the same meaning as those defined in the Convention, with the following additional definitions which apply to these Guidelines only. "Homogeneous material" means a material of uniform composition throughout that cannot be mechanically disjointed into different materials, meaning that the materials cannot, in principle, be separated by mechanical actions such as unscrewing, cutting, crushing, grinding and abrasive processes. "Product" means machinery, equipment, materials and applied coatings on board a ship. "Supplier" means a company which provides products; which may be a manufacturer, trader or agency. "Supply chain" means the series of entities involved in the supply and purchase of materials and goods, from raw materials to final product. "Threshold level" is defined as the concentration value in homogeneous materials.

3 Requirements for the Inventory 3.1 Scope of the Inventory The Inventory consists of:

Part I: Materials contained in ship structure or equipment; Part II: Operationally generated wastes; and Part III: Stores.

3.2 Materials to be listed in the Inventory Appendix 1 of the Guidelines, "Items to be listed in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials", provides information on the Hazardous Materials that may be found on board a ship. Materials set out in appendix 1 should be listed in the Inventory. Each item in appendix 1 of these Guidelines is classified under "Table A", "Table B", "Table C" or "Table D" according to its properties:

.1 Table A comprises the materials listed in appendix 1 of the Convention; .2 Table B comprises the materials listed in appendix 2 of the Convention; .3 Table C (Potentially hazardous items) comprises items which are

potentially hazardous to the environment and human health at Ship Recycling Facilities; and

.4 Table D (Regular Consumable Goods potentially containing Hazardous

Materials) comprises goods which are not integral to a ship and are unlikely to be dismantled or treated at a Ship Recycling Facility.

Table A and Table B correspond to Part I of the Inventory. Table C corresponds to Parts II and III and Table D corresponds to Part III. 3.3 Materials not required to be listed in the Inventory Materials listed in Table B that are inherent in solid metals or metal alloys, provided they are used in general construction, such as hull, superstructure, pipes, or housings for equipment and machinery are not required to be listed in the Inventory. 3.4 Standard format of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials The Inventory should be developed on the basis of the standard format set out in appendix 2 of these Guidelines: "Standard format of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials". Examples of how to complete the Inventory are provided for guidance purposes only. 4 Requirements for development of the Inventory 4.1 Development of Part I of the Inventory for new ships 4.1.1 Part I of the Inventory for new ships should be developed at the design and construction stage.

4.1.2 Checking of materials listed in Table A During the development of the Inventory (Part I), the presence of materials listed in Table A of appendix 1 should be checked and confirmed; the quantity and location of Table A materials should be listed in Part I of the Inventory. If such materials are used in compliance with the Convention, they should be listed in Part I of the Inventory. Any spare parts containing materials listed in Table A are required to be listed in Part III of the Inventory. 4.1.3 Checking of materials listed in Table B If materials listed in Table B of appendix 1 are present in products above the threshold levels provided in Table B, the quantity and location of the products and the contents of the materials present in them should be listed in Part I of the Inventory. Any spare parts containing materials listed in Table B are required to be listed in Part III of the Inventory. 4.1.4 Process for checking of materials The checking of materials as provided in paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above should be based on the "Material Declaration" furnished by the suppliers in the shipbuilding supply chain (e.g., equipment suppliers, parts suppliers, material suppliers). 4.2 Development of Part I of the Inventory for existing ships In order to achieve comparable results for existing ships with respect to Part I of the Inventory, the following procedure should be followed. The procedure is based on the following steps:

.1 collection of necessary information; .2 assessment of collected information; .3 preparation of visual/sampling check plan; .4 onboard visual check and sampling check; and .5 preparation of Part I of the Inventory and related documentation.

The determination of Hazardous Materials present on board existing ships should, as far as practicable, be conducted as prescribed for new ships, including the procedures described in section 6 and 7 of these Guidelines. Alternatively the procedures described in subsection 4.2 may be applied for existing ships, but these procedures should not be used for any new installation resulting from the conversion or repair of existing ships after the initial preparation of the Inventory. The procedures described in subsection 4.2 should be carried out by the shipowner, who may draw upon expert assistance. Such an expert or expert party should not be the same as the person or organization authorized by the Administration to approve the Inventory. Please refer to appendix 4: "Flow diagram for developing Part I of the Inventory for existing ships"; and appendix 5: "Typical example of development process for Part I of the Inventory for existing ships".

4.2.1 Collection of necessary information (Step 1) The shipowner should identify, research, request, and procure all reasonably available documentation regarding the ship. Information that will be useful includes maintenance, conversion, and repair documents; certificates, manuals, ship's plans, drawings, and technical specifications; product information data sheets (such as Material Declarations); and hazardous material inventories or recycling information from sister ships. Potential sources of information could include previous shipowners, the ship builder, historical societies, classification society records, and ship recycling facilities with experience working with similar ships. 4.2.2 Assessment of collected information (Step 2) The information collected in Step 1 above should be assessed. The assessment should cover all materials listed in Table A of appendix 1; materials listed in Table B should be listed as far as practicable. The results of the assessment should be reflected in the visual/sampling check plan. 4.2.3 Preparation of visual/sampling check plan (Step 3) To specify the materials listed in appendix 1 of these Guidelines a visual/sampling check plan should be prepared taking into account the collated information and any appropriate expertise. The visual/sampling check plan based on the following three lists:

- List of equipment, system and/or area for visual check (any equipment, system and/or area specified regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix 1 by document analysis should be entered in the List of equipment, system and/or area for visual check);

- List of equipment, system and/or area for sampling check (any equipment,

system and/or area which cannot be specified regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix 1 by document or visual analysis should be entered in the List of equipment, system and/or area as requiring sampling check. A sampling check is the taking of samples to identify the presence or absence of Hazardous Material contained in the equipment, systems, and/or areas, by suitable and generally accepted methods such as laboratory analysis); and

- List of equipment, system and/or area classed as "potentially containing

Hazardous Material" (any equipment, system and/or area which cannot be specified regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix 1 by document analysis may be entered in the List of equipment, system and/or area classed as "potentially containing Hazardous Material" without the sampling check. The prerequisite for this classification is a comprehensible justification such as the impossibility of conducting sampling without compromising the safety of the ship and its operational efficiency).

Visual/sampling checkpoints should be all points where:

- the presence of materials to be considered for the Inventory Part I as listed in appendix 1 is likely;

- the documentation is not specific; or - materials of uncertain composition were used.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 3, page 6

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

4.2.4 Onboard visual/sampling check (Step 4) The onboard visual/sampling check should be carried out in accordance with the visual/sampling check plan. When a sampling check is carried out, samples should be taken and the sample points should be clearly marked on the ship plan and the sample results referenced. Materials of the same kind may be sampled in a representative manner. Such materials are to be checked to ensure that they are of the same kind. The sampling check should be carried out drawing upon expert assistance. Any uncertainty regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials should be clarified by a visual/sampling check. Checkpoints should be documented in the ship's plan and may be supported by photographs. If the equipment, system and/or area of the ship are not accessible for a visual check or sampling check, they should be classified as "potentially containing Hazardous Material". The prerequisite for such classification should be the same prerequisite as in section 4.2.3. Any equipment, system and/or area classed as "potentially containing Hazardous Material" may be investigated or subjected to a sampling check at the request of the shipowner during a later survey (e.g., during repair, refit or conversion). 4.2.5 Preparation of Part I of the Inventory and related documentation (Step 5) If any equipment, system and/or area is classed as either "containing Hazardous Material" or "potentially containing Hazardous Material", their approximate quantity and location should be listed in Part I of the Inventory. These two categories should be indicated separately in the remarks column of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials. 4.2.6 Testing methods Samples may be tested by a variety of methods. "Indicative" or "field tests" may be used when:

the likelihood of a hazard is high; the test is expected to indicate that the hazard exists; and the sample is being tested by "specific testing" to show that the hazard is

present. Indicative or field tests are quick, inexpensive and useful onboard the ship or on site, but they cannot be accurately reproduced or repeated, and cannot identify the hazard specifically, and therefore cannot be relied upon except as "indicators". In all other cases, and in order to avoid dispute, "specific testing" should be used. Specific tests are repeatable, reliable and can demonstrate definitively whether a hazard exists or not. They will also provide a known type of the hazard. The methods indicated are found qualitative and quantitative appropriate and only testing methods to the same effect can be used. Specific tests are to be carried out by a suitably accredited laboratory, working to international standards† or equivalent, which will provide a written report that can be relied upon by all parties. Specific test methods for appendix 1 materials are provided in appendix 9. † For example ISO 17025.

4.2.7 Diagram of the location of Hazardous Materials on board a ship Preparation of a diagram showing the location of the materials listed in Table A is recommended in order to help Ship Recycling Facilities gain a visual understanding of the Inventory. 4.3 Maintaining and updating Part I of the Inventory during operations 4.3.1 Part I of the Inventory should be appropriately maintained and updated, especially after any repair or conversion or sale of a ship. 4.3.2 Updating of Part I of the Inventory in the event of new installation If any machinery or equipment is added to, removed or replaced or the hull coating is renewed, Part I of the Inventory should be updated according to the requirements for new ships as stipulated in subsections 4.1.2 to 4.1.4. Updating is not required if identical parts or coatings are installed or applied. 4.3.3 Continuity of Part I of the Inventory Part I of the Inventory should belong to the ship and the continuity and conformity of the information it contains should be confirmed, especially if the flag, owner or operator of the ship changes. 4.4 Development of Part II of the Inventory (operationally generated waste) 4.4.1 Once the decision to recycle a ship has been taken, Part II of the Inventory should be developed before the final survey, taking into account that a ship destined to be recycled shall conduct operations in the period prior to entering the Ship Recycling Facility in a manner that minimizes the amount of cargo residues, fuel oil and wastes remaining on board (regulation 8.2). 4.4.2 Operationally generated wastes to be listed in the Inventory If the wastes listed in Part II of the Inventory provided in "Table C (Potentially hazardous items)" of appendix 1 are intended for delivery with the ship to a Ship Recycling Facility, the quantity of the operationally generated wastes should be estimated and their approximate quantities and locations should be listed in Part II of the Inventory. 4.5 Development of Part III of the Inventory (stores) 4.5.1 Once the decision to recycle has been taken, Part III of the Inventory should be developed before the final survey, taking into account the fact that a ship destined to be recycled shall minimize the wastes remaining on board (regulation 8.2). Each item listed in Part III should correspond to the ship's operations during its last voyage. 4.5.2 Stores to be listed in the Inventory If the stores to be listed in Part III of the Inventory provided in Table C of appendix 1 are to be delivered with the ship to a Ship Recycling Facility, the unit (e.g., capacity of cans and cylinders), quantity and location of the stores should be listed in Part III of the Inventory.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 3, page 8

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

4.5.3 Liquids and gases sealed in ship's machinery and equipment to be listed in the Inventory If any liquids and gases listed in Table C of appendix 1 are integral in machinery and equipment on board a ship, their approximate quantity and location should be listed in Part III of the Inventory. However, small amounts of lubricating oil, anti-seize compounds and grease which are applied to or injected into machinery and equipment to maintain normal performance do not fall within the scope of this provision. For subsequent completion of Part III of the Inventory during the recycling preparation processes, the quantity of liquids and gases listed in Table C of appendix 1 required for normal operation, including the related pipe system volumes, should be prepared and documented at the design and construction stage. This information belongs to the ship, and continuity of this information should be maintained if the flag, owner or operator of the ship changes. 4.5.4 Regular consumable goods to be listed in the Inventory Regular consumable goods, as provided in Table D of appendix 1should not be listed in Part I or Part II but should be listed in Part III of the Inventory if they are to be delivered with the ship to a Ship Recycling Facility. A general description including the name of item (e.g., TV set), manufacturer, quantity and location should be entered in Part III of the Inventory. The check on materials provided for in paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of the Guidelines does not apply to regular consumable goods. 4.6 Description of location of Hazardous Materials on board The locations of Hazardous Materials on board should be described and identified using the name of location (e.g., second floor of Engine-room, Bridge DK, APT, No.1 Cargo Tank, Frame number) given in the plans (e.g., General Arrangement, Fire and Safety Plan, Machinery Arrangement or Tank Arrangement). 4.7 Description of approximate quantity of Hazardous Materials In order to identify the approximate quantity of Hazardous Materials, the standard unit used for the of Hazardous Materials should be kg, unless other units (e.g., m3 for materials of liquid or gases, m2 for materials used in floors or walls) are considered more appropriate. An approximate quantity should be rounded up to at least two significant figures. 5 Requirements for ascertaining the conformity of the Inventory 5.1 Design and construction stage The conformity of Part I of the Inventory at the design and construction stage should be ascertained by reference to the collected "Supplier's Declaration of Conformity" described in section 7 and the related "Material Declarations" collected from suppliers. 5.2 Operational stage Shipowners should implement the following measures in order to ensure the conformity of Part I of the Inventory:

.1 designate a person as responsible for maintaining and updating the Inventory (the designated person may be employed ashore or on board);

Page 105: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

.2 the designated person, in order to implement subsection 4.3.2, should establish and supervise a system to ensure the necessary updating of the Inventory in the event of new installation;

.3 to maintain the Inventory including dates of changes or new deleted entries

and the signature of the designated person; and .4 provide related documents as required for the survey or sale of the ship.

6 Material Declaration 6.1 General Suppliers to the shipbuilding industry should identify and declare whether or not the materials listed in Table A or Table B are present above the threshold level specified in appendix 1 of these Guidelines. However, this provision does not apply to chemicals which do not constitute a part of the finished product. 6.2 Information required in the declaration At a minimum the following information is required in the Material Declaration:

.1 date of declaration; .2 Material Declaration identification number; .3 supplier's name; .4 product name (common product name or name used by manufacturer); .5 product number (for identification by manufacturer); .6 declaration of whether or not the materials listed in Table A and Table B of

appendix 1 of these Guidelines are present in the product above the threshold level stipulated in appendix 1 of these Guidelines; and

.7 mass of each constituent material listed in Table A and/or Table B of

appendix 1 of these Guidelines if present above threshold level. An example of a Material Declaration is shown in appendix 6. 7 Supplier's Declaration of Conformity 7.1 Purpose and scope The purpose of the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity is to provide assurance that the related Material Declaration conforms to section 6.2, and to identify the responsible entity. The Supplier's Declaration of Conformity remains valid as long as the products are present on board.

the need for regulatory control, "exemption criteria" were established in the IAEA Safety Standards (Safety Series No.115, International Basic Safety Standards for the Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources, Schedule I, p. 81-89; Vienna, 1996. IAEA is currently in the process of updating IAEA Safety Series No.115). For practical purposes, the IAEA defined values (e.g., "exemption levels") that could be considered as "thresholds" below which the substances could be automatically exempted from any control without further consideration. National Regulatory Authorities normally establish exemption levels for radioactive sources and other radioactive materials.

APPENDIX 3

EXAMPLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR PART I OF THE INVENTORY FOR NEW SHIPS

1 Objective of the typical example This example has been developed to give guidance and to facilitate understanding of the development process for Part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials for new ships. 2 Development flow for Part I of the Inventory Part I of the Inventory should be developed using the following 3 steps. However, the order of these steps is flexible and can be changed depending on the schedule of shipbuilding:

.1 collection of Hazardous Materials information;

.2 utilization of Hazardous Materials information; and

.3 preparation of the Inventory (by filling out standard format). 3 Collection of Hazardous Materials information 3.1 Data collection process for Hazardous Materials Materials Declaration (MD) and Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) for products from suppliers (tier 1 suppliers) should be requested and collected by the shipbuilding yard. Tier 1 suppliers may request from their suppliers (tier 2 suppliers) the relevant information if they cannot develop the MD based on the information available. Thus the collection of data on Hazardous Materials may involve the entire shipbuilding supply chain (Figure 1).

3.2 Declaration of Hazardous Materials Suppliers should declare whether or not the Hazardous Materials listed in Table A and Table B in the MD are present in concentrations above the threshold levels specified for each "homogeneous material" in a product. 3.2.1 Materials listed in Table A If one or more materials listed in Table A are found to be present in concentrations above the specified threshold level according to the MD, the products which contain these materials shall not be installed on a ship. However, if the materials are used in a product in accordance with an exemption specified by the Convention (e.g., new installations containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) before 1 January 2020), the product should be listed in the Inventory. 3.2.2 Materials listed in Table B If one or more materials listed in Table B are found to be present in concentrations above the specified threshold level according to the MD, the products should be listed in the Inventory. 3.3 Example of "Homogeneous Materials" Figure 2 shows an example of four homogeneous materials which constitute a cable. In this case, sheath, intervention, insulator and conductor are all individual homogeneous materials.

Figure 2 – Example of Homogeneous Materials (cable)

4 Utilization of Hazardous Materials information Products which contain Hazardous Materials in concentrations above the specified threshold levels should be clearly identified in the MD. The approximate quantity of the Hazardous Materials should be calculated if the mass data for Hazardous Materials are declared in the MD using a unit which cannot be directly utilized in the Inventory. 5 Preparation of Inventory (by filling out standard format) The information received for the Inventory, as contained in Table A and Table B of appendix 1of these Guidelines, ought to be structured and utilized according to the following categorization for Part I of the Inventory:

1.1 Paints and coating systems; 1.2 Equipment and machinery; and 1.3 Structure and hull.

Sheath(PVC)

Intervention(paper)

Insulator(rubber)

Conductor(copper)

5.1 "Name of equipment and machinery" column 5.1.1 Equipment and machinery The name of each equipment or machinery should be entered in this column. If more than one Hazardous Material is present in the equipment or machinery, the row relating to that equipment or machinery should be appropriately divided such that all of the Hazardous Materials contained in the piece of equipment or machinery are entered. If more than one item of equipment or machinery is situated in one location, both name and quantity of the equipment or machinery should be entered in the column. For identical common or mass-produced items, such as bolts, nuts and valves, there is no need to list each item individually. An example is shown in Table 1.

5.1.2 Pipes and cables The names of pipes and of systems, including electric cables, which are often situated in more than one compartment of a ship, should be described using the name of the system concerned. A reference to the compartments where these systems are located is not necessary as long as the system is clearly identified and properly named. 5.2 "Approximate quantity" column The standard unit for approximate quantity of solid Hazardous Materials should be kg. If the Hazardous Materials are liquids or gases, the standard unit should be either m3 or kg. An approximate quantity should be rounded up to at least two significant figures. If the Hazardous Material is less than 10 g, the description of the quantity should read "<0.01 kg".

5.3 "Location" column 5.3.1 Example of a location list It is recommended to prepare a location list which covers all compartments of a ship based on the ship's plans (e.g., General Arrangement, Engine-room Arrangement, Accommodation and Tank Plan) and on other documentation on board, including certificates or spare parts' lists. The description of the location should be based on a location such as a deck or room to enable easy identification. The name of the location should correspond to the ship's plans so as to ensure consistency between the Inventory and the ship's plans. Examples of names of locations are shown in Table 3.

If they are situated in a number of compartments, the most practical of the following two options should be used:

a) listing of all components in the column; or b) description of the location of the system using an expression such as those

shown under "primary classification" and "secondary classification" in Table 3. A typical description of a pipe system is shown in Table 4.

APPENDIX 5

EXAMPLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR PART I OF THE INVENTORY FOR EXISTING SHIPS

1 Introduction In order to develop Part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials for existing ships, documents of the individual ship as well as the knowledge and experience of specialist personnel (experts) is required. An example of the development process for Part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials for existing ships is useful to understand the basic steps as laid out in the Guidelines and to ensure a unified application. However, attention should be paid to variations in different types of ships1). Compilation of Part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Material for existing ships involves the following 5 steps which are described in paragraph 4.2 and appendix 4 of these Guidelines.

Step 1: Collection of necessary information; Step 2: Assessment of collected information; Step 3: Preparation of visual/sampling check plan; Step 4: Onboard visual/sampling check; and Step 5: Preparation of Part I of the Inventory and related documentation.

___________ 1) The example of a 28,000 gross tonnage bulk carrier constructed in 1985 is used in this appendix. 2 Step 1: Collection of necessary information 2.1 Sighting of available documents A practical first step is to collect detailed documents for the ship. The shipowner should try to collate documents normally retained onboard the ship or by the shipping company as well as relevant documents that the shipyard, manufacturers, or classification society may have. The following documents should be used when available:

Ship's specification General Arrangement Machinery Arrangement Spare Parts and Tools List Piping Arrangement Accommodation Plan Fire Control Plan Fire Protection Plan Insulation Plan (Hull and Machinery) International Anti-Fouling System Certificate Related manuals and drawings Information from other inventories and/or sister or similar ships, machinery, equipment, materials and coatings Results of previous visual/sampling checks and other analysis

If the ship has undergone conversions or major repair work, it is necessary to identify as far as possible the modifications from the initial design and specification of the ship.

2.2 Indicative list It is impossible to check all equipment, systems, and/or areas on board the ship to determine the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials. The total number of parts on board may exceed several thousand. In order to take a practical approach, an "Indicative list" should be prepared that identifies the equipment, system, and/or area on board that is presumed to contain Hazardous Materials. Field interviews with the shipyard and suppliers may be necessary to prepare such lists. A typical example of an "Indicative list" is shown below: 2.2.1 Materials to be checked and documented Hazardous Materials, as identified in appendix 1 of these Guidelines, should be listed in Part I of the Inventory for existing ships. Appendix 1 of the Guidelines contains all the materials concerned. Table A shows those which are required to be listed and Table B shows those which should be listed as far as practical. 2.2.2 Materials listed in Table A Table A lists the following four materials:

Asbestos Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Ozone depleting substances Anti-fouling systems containing organotin compounds as a biocide

2.2.2.1 Asbestos Field interviews were conducted with over 200 Japanese shipyards and suppliers regarding the use of asbestos in production. "Indicative lists" for asbestos developed on the basis of this research are shown below: Structure and/or equipment Component Propeller shafting Packing with low pressure hydraulic piping flange

Packing with casing Clutch Brake lining Synthetic stern tubes

Diesel engine Packing with piping flange Lagging material for fuel pipe Lagging material for exhaust pipe Lagging material turbocharger

2.2.2.2 Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) Worldwide restriction of PCBs began on 17 May 2004 as a result of the implementation of the Stockholm Convention, which aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants. In Japan, domestic control began in 1973, with the prohibition of all activities relating to the production, use and import of PCBs. Japanese suppliers can provide accurate information concerning their products. The "Indicative list" of PCBs has been developed as shown below:

Equipment Component of equipment Transformer Insulating oil Condenser Insulating oil Fuel heater Heating medium Electric cable Covering, insulating tape Lubricating oil Heat oil Thermometers, sensors, indicators Rubber/felt gaskets Rubber hose Plastic foam insulation Thermal insulating materials Voltage regulators Switches/reclosers/bushings Electromagnets Adhesives/tapes Surface contamination of machinery Oil-based paint Caulking Rubber isolation mounts Pipe hangers

2.2.2.3 Ozone depleting substances The "Indicative list" for Ozone depleting substances is shown below. Ozone depleting substances have been controlled according to the Montreal Protocol and MARPOL Convention. Although almost all substances have been banned since 1996, HCFC can still be used until 2020.

2.2.2.4 Organotin compounds Organotin compounds include Tributyl tins (TBT), Triphenyl tins (TPT) and Tributyl tin oxide (TBTO). Organotin compounds have been used as anti-fouling paint on ships' bottoms and the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention) stipulates that all ships shall not apply or re-apply organotin compounds after 1 January 2003, and that, after 1 January 2008, all ships shall either not bear such compounds on their hulls or shall bear a coating that forms a barrier preventing such compounds from leaching into the sea. The above-mentioned dates may have been extended by permission of the Administration bearing in mind that the AFS Convention entered into force on 17 September 2008. 2.2.3 Materials listed in Table B For existing ships it is not obligatory for materials listed in Table B to be listed in Part I of the Inventory. However, if they can be identified in a practical way, they should be listed in the Inventory, because the information will be used to support ship recycling processes. The Indicative list of materials listed in Table B is shown below:

Materials Component of equipment Cadmium and cadmium compounds Nickel-cadmium battery, plating film, bearing Hexavalent chromium compounds Plating film Mercury and mercury compounds Fluorescent light, mercury lamp, mercury cell,

liquid-level switch, gyro compass, thermometer, measuring tool, manganese cell, pressure sensors, light fittings, electrical switches, fire detectors

Lead and lead compounds Lead-acid storage battery, corrosion-resistant primer, solder (almost all electric appliances contain solder), paints, preservative coatings, cable insulation, lead ballast, generators

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) Non-flammable plastics Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)

Non-flammable plastics

Polychlorinated naphthalenes Paint, lubricating oil Radioactive substances Fluorescent paint, ionic type smoke detector, level

gauge Certain shortchain chlorinated paraffins Non-flammable plastics 3 Step 2: Assessment of collected information Preparation of a checklist is an efficient method for developing the Inventory for existing ships in order to clarify the results of each step. Based on collected information including the "Indicative list" mentioned in Step 1, all equipment, systems, and/or areas onboard assumed to contain Hazardous Materials listed in Tables A and B should be included in the checklist. Each listed equipment, system, and/or area on board should be analysed and assessed for its Hazardous Materials content. The existence and volume of Hazardous Materials may be judged and calculated from the Spare parts and tools list and the Maker's drawings. The existence of asbestos contained in floors, ceilings and walls may be identified from Fire Protection Plans, while the existence of TBT in coatings can be identified from the International Anti-Fouling System Certificate, Coating scheme and the History of Paint.

When a component or coating is determined to contain Hazardous Materials, a "Y" should be entered in the column for "Result of document analysis" in the checklist, to denote "Contained". Likewise, when an item is determined not to contain Hazardous Materials, the entry "N" should be made in the column to denote "Not contained". When a determination cannot be made as to the Hazardous Materials content, the column should be completed with the entry "Unknown".

4 Step 3: Preparation of visual/sampling check plan Each item classified as "Contained" or "Not contained" in Step 2 should be subjected to a visual check on board, and the entry "V" should be made in the "Check procedure" column to denote "Visual check". For each item categorized as "unknown", a decision should be made as to whether to apply a sampling check. However, any item categorized as "unknown" may be classed as "potentially containing Hazardous Material" provided comprehensive justification is given, or if it can be assumed that there will be little or no effect on disassembly as a unit and later ship recycling and disposal operations. For example, in the following checklist, in order to carry out a sampling check for "Packing with aux. boiler" the shipowner needs to disassemble the auxiliary boiler in a repair yard. The costs of this check are significantly higher than the later disposal costs at a Ship Recycling Facility. In this case, therefore, the classification as "potentially containing Hazardous Material" is justifiable.

Before any visual/sampling check on board is conducted, a "visual/sampling check plan" should be prepared. An example of such a plan is shown below. To prevent any incidents during the visual/sampling check, a schedule should be established to eliminate interference with other ongoing work on board. To prevent potential exposure to Hazardous Materials during the visual/sampling check, safety precautions should be in place on board. For example, sampling of potential asbestos containing materials could release fibres into the atmosphere. Therefore, appropriate personnel safety and containment procedures should be implemented prior to sampling. Items listed in the visual/sampling check should be arranged in sequence so that the onboard check is conducted in a structured manner (e.g., from a lower level to an upper level and from a fore part to an aft part).

Example of visual/sampling check plan

5 Step 4: Onboard visual/sampling check The visual/sampling check should be conducted according to the plan. Check points should be marked in the ship's plan or recorded with photographs. A person taking samples should be protected by the appropriate safety equipment relevant to the suspected type of hazardous materials encountered. Appropriate safety precautions should also be in place for passengers, crewmembers and other persons on board, to minimize the potential exposure to hazardous materials. Safety precautions could include the posting of signs or other verbal or written notification for personnel to avoid such areas during sampling. The personnel taking samples should ensure compliance with relevant national regulations. The results of visual/sampling checks should be recorded in the checklist. Any equipment, systems and/or areas of the ship that cannot be accessed for checks should be classified as "potentially containing Hazardous Material". In this case, the entry in the "Result of check" column should be "PCHM". 6 Step 5: Preparation of Part I of the Inventory and related documentation 6.1 Development of Part I of the Inventory The results of the check and the estimated quantity of Hazardous Materials should be recorded on the checklist. Part I of the Inventory should be developed with reference to the checklist. 6.2 Development of location diagram of Hazardous Materials With respect to Part I of the Inventory, the development of a location diagram of Hazardous Materials is recommended in order to help the Ship Recycling Facility gain a visual understanding of the Inventory.

SPECIFIC TEST METHODS 1 Asbestos Types to test for: as per resolution MEPC.179(59); Actinolite CAS 77536-66-4 Amosite (Grunerite) CAS 12172-73-5 Anthophyllite CAS 77536-67-5 Chrysotile CAS 12001-29-5 Crocidolite CAS 12001-28-4 Asbestos Tremolite CAS 77536-68-6. Specific testing techniques: Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), electron microscope techniques and/or X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) as applicable. Specific reporting information: The presence/no presence of asbestos, indicate the concentration range, and state the type when necessary.

Notes:

.1 The suggested three kinds of testing techniques are most commonly used methods when analysing asbestos and each of them has its limitation. Laboratories should choose the most suitable methods to determine, and in most cases, two or more techniques should be utilized together.

.2 The quantification of asbestos is difficult at this stage, although the XRD

technique is applicable. Only a few laboratories conduct the quantification rather than the qualification, especially when a precise number is required. Considering the demand from the operators and ship recycling parties, the precise concentration is not strictly required. Thereby, the concentration range is recommended to report, and the recommended range division according to standard VDI 3866 is as follows:

Asbestos not detected Traces of asbestos detected Asbestos content approx. 1% to 15% by mass Asbestos content approx. 15% to 40% by mass Asbestos content greater than 40% by mass

Results that specified more precisely must be provided with a reasoned statement on the uncertainty.

.3 As to the asbestos types, to distinguish all six different types is time

consuming and in some cases not feasible by current techniques; while on the practical side, the treatment of different types of asbestos is the same. Therefore, it is suggested to report the type when necessary.

2 Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) Note: there are 209 different congeners (forms) of PCB of it is impracticable to test for all. Various organizations have developed lists of PCBs to test for as indicators. In this instance two alternative approaches are recommended. Method 1 identifies the seven congeners used by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). Method 2 identifies 19 congeners and 7 types of aroclor (PCB mixtures commonly found in solid shipboard materials containing PCBs). Laboratories should be familiar with the requirements and consequences for each of these lists.

Types to test for: Method 1: ICES7 congeners (28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, 180). Method 2: 19 congeners and 7 types of aroclor, using the US EPA 8082a test. Specific testing technique: GC-MS (congener specific) or GC-ECD or GC-ELCD for applicable mixtures such as aroclors. Note: standard samples must be used for each type. Sample Preparation: It is important to properly prepare PCB samples prior to testing. For solid materials (cables, rubber, paint, etc.), it is especially critical to select the proper extraction procedure in order to release PCBs since they are chemically bound within the product. Specific reporting information: PCB congener, ppm per congener in sample, and for Method 2, ppm per aroclor in sample should also be reported. Notes:

1 Certain field or indicator tests are suitable for detecting PCBs in liquids or surfaces. However, there are currently no such tests that can accurately identify PCBs in solid shipboard materials. It is also noted that many of these tests rely on the identification of free chlorine ions and are thus highly susceptible to chlorine contamination and false readings in a marine environment where all surfaces are highly contaminated with chlorine ions from the sea water and atmosphere.

2 Several congeners are tested for as "indicator" congeners. They are used

because their presence often indicates the likelihood of other congeners in greater quantities (many PCBs are mixes, many mixes use a limited number of PCBs in small quantities, therefore the presence of these small quantities indicates the potential for a mix containing far higher quantities of other PCBs).

3 Many reports refer to "total PCB", which is often a scaled figure to

represent likely total PCBs based on the sample and the common ratios of PCB mixes. Where this is done the exact scaling technique must be stated, and is for information only and does not form part of the specific technique.

3 Ozone Depleting Substances Types to test for: as per appendix 8 of these guidelines all the listed CFCs, Halons, HCFCs and other listed substance as required by Montreal Protocol. Specific testing technique: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), coupled Electron Capture Detectors (GC-ECD) and Electrolytic Conductivity Detectors (GC-ELCD). Specific reporting information: Type and concentration of ODS. 4 Anti-fouling systems containing organotin compounds as a biocide Types to test for: Anti-fouling compounds and systems regulated under Annex I to the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 (AFS Convention), including: Tributyl tins (TBT), Triphenyl tins (TPT) and Tributyl tin oxide (TBTO).

Specific testing technique: As per resolution MEPC.104(49) (Guidelines for Brief Sampling of Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships), adopted 18 July 2003, using ICPOES, ICP, AAS, XRF, GC-MS as applicable. Specific reporting information: Type and concentration of organotin compound. Note: For "field" or "indicative" testing it may be acceptable to simply identify presence of tin, due to the expected good documentation on anti fouling systems.

ANNEX 4

INTERVENTIONS BY THE DELEGATION OF NORWAY ON FUEL OIL QUALITY Introduction of document MEPC 62/4/4 The Committee may recall that at its last session, Norway and INTERTANKO submitted a document MEPC 61/4/7 suggesting an urgent need for a stricter monitoring and enforcement of certain provisions of regulations 14 and 18 of MARPOL Annex VI. In brief, it called for a stricter control on bunkers delivered to ships. The Committee forwarded the document to BLG 15 for further consideration. In addition, Norway and INTERTANKO submitted at BLG 15, an additional document (BLG 15/11/4) with more concrete suggestions how we believe stricter monitoring can be achieved. As a result of extensive discussions, BLG 15 required that more information and data be supplied to enable appropriate consideration (paragraph 11.32 of document BLG 15/19). In document MEPC 62/4/4, Norway and INTERTANKO submitted data and the consequences on ships of problematic bunker supply for the recent years. This data was collected from two bunker testing laboratories and probably represents the status for roughly 50% of all bunker deliveries that are tested by shipowners worldwide. As an overview from one of the laboratories, and based upon the analysis of more than 100,000 bunker samples or bunkering events, the receiving vessels have reported that on 1,468 occasions they have had machinery problems as a result of using the fuels as supplied. When extrapolated to the total, this would represent a figure of approximately 1.4% of all bunkering worldwide but many experts and many ship operators say these figures are only the tip of the iceberg as many incidents remain unreported or not further investigated. Annexes 1 and 2 to this document supply examples of a selection of incidents related to poor quality bunkers that exposed ships and crew to unsafe situations. I wish to invite the Committee to note the significant number of cases of chemical contaminants in bunkers delivered to ships and the significant number of damages caused to ships' installations by bunkers which are definitely off the specifications in ISO 8217:2005. The data presented provides information on the type of fuel, be it regular HFO or low sulphur content HFO or even MDO/MGO. The data also provides information on the flags of ships involved and the ports from where these contaminated and poor quality bunkers have been delivered. Mr. Chairman, this document presents real facts as reported by ships where safety was put in jeopardy by the bunkers delivered to them. We would hope that the flags and the port authorities mentioned in these reports would not ignore these facts and would have an interest to safeguard the safety of ships under their flag and the safety of the ships calling at their ports and along their countries' coastlines. Mr. Chairman, these incidents and the risks to which ships are exposed due to poor quality bunkers delivered to them have prompted Norway and INTERTANKO to suggest actions aimed at an improved enforcement of the current MARPOL Annex VI regulations, particularly 18.1, 18.9.4 and 18.9.6. We will therefore invite the Committee to consider this additional data when discussing the report from BLG 15 (BLG 15/19) regarding the need of proper enforcement of the current MARPOL Annex VI requirements on fuel oil quality and the need for further improvement of the IMO regulatory regime on fuel oil quality, and take appropriate action.

Introduction of document MEPC 62/4/11 I have been sailing as an engineer and worked as technical superintendent for several years, and can tell you from my experience that fuel is vital for the safe operation of a ship. I believe that other people with experience as engine staff can say the same. This experience and the number of stories we, the engine staff, can tell on fuels and operation of engines is one of the reasons why I firmly can say: It is time for the IMO to act on the issue of fuel oil quality. MEPC 57 agreed to request ISO to make recommendations regarding fuel oil characteristics and parameters addressing air quality, ship safety, engine performance and crew health, taking into account the listing in annex 1 to document MEPC 59/4/3 (ISO). Appendix V of MARPOL Annex VI requires the Bunker Delivery Note to contain only two appropriate parameters, namely the density of the bunker and its sulphur content as well as a general declaration by the supplier that the fuel is in conformity with the applicable paragraphs of regulations 14 and 18 of MARPOL Annex VI. SOLAS regulation II-2/4.2.1.1 requires that the fuel used on board shall have a flashpoint of not less than 60°C. This parameter is not included in the BDN requirements in Appendix V of MARPOL Annex VI As a follow-up of the response from ISO in document MEPC 59/4/3 as well as the report from BLG 15, (BLG 15/19), Norway believe that the Committee should initiate a process to address key parameters in an IMO context. We have in our document to the 59th session of the Committee proposed which additional fuel oil parameters should be addressed by the IMO because of their relevance to seafarers' health, safety of the ship and air emissions that have an impact on the safety of the ship and the health of its crew. In light of the incidents caused by low fuel oil quality it is now time for the Committee to initiate a process aiming at appropriate action on this important issue. Introduction of document MEPC 62/4/12 At BLG 10, Norway addressed, in paragraphs 61 to 64 of document BLG 10/14/2, the need for unified guidelines for sampling of fuel oil from fuel oil tanks during Port State Control. This issue Sir, is still remaining and in order to facilitate uniform enforcement during port state control, we propose that resolution MEPC.182(59), the 2009 Guidelines for the sampling of fuel oil for determination of compliance with the revised MARPOL Annex VI, is amended to include guidelines for representative sampling of the fuel oil in use from fuel oil tanks as set forth in our document BLG 10/14/2 and now reiterated in document MEPC 62/4/12.

ANNEX 5

DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO THE NOX TECHNICAL CODE 2008 1 Existing paragraph 2.2.4 is replaced as follows:

"2.2.4 Engines not pre-certified on a test bed

.1 There are engines which, due to their size, construction and delivery schedule, cannot be pre-certified on a test bed. In such cases, the engine manufacturer, shipowner or shipbuilder shall make application to the Administration requesting an on board test (see 2.1.2.2). The applicant must demonstrate to the Administration that the on board test fully meets all of the requirements of a test-bed procedure as specified in chapter 5 of this Code. In no case shall an allowance be granted for possible deviations of measurements if an initial survey is carried out on board a ship without any valid pre-certification test. For engines undergoing an on board certification test, in order to be issued with an EIAPP Certificate, the same procedures apply as if the engine had been pre-certified on a test bed, subject to the limitations given in paragraph 2.2.4.2.

.2 This pre-certification survey procedure may be accepted for an

Individual Engine or for an Engine Group represented by the Parent Engine only, but it shall not be accepted for an Engine Family certification."

2 Paragraph 2.2.5.1 is amended as follows:

".1 Where a NOx reducing device is to be included within the EIAPP certification, it must be recognized as a component of the engine, and its presence shall be recorded in the engine's Technical File. The engine shall be tested with the NOx-reducing device fitted unless, due to technical and practical reasons, the combined testing is not appropriate and the procedures specified in paragraph 2.2.4.1 cannot be applied, subject to approval by the Administration. In the latter case the applicable test procedure shall be performed and the combined engine/NOx-reducing device shall be approved and pre-certified by the Administration taking into account guidelines developed by the Organization*. However, this pre-certification is subject to the limitations given in paragraph 2.2.4.2."

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The use of NOx-reducing devices is envisaged in the NOx Technical Code 2008 (NTC 2008) as given in section 2.2.5 and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is one of such devices. 1.2 NTC 2008 contains two ways for pre-certification of engine systems fitted with NOx-reducing devices:

.1 engine fitted with SCR: Approval in accordance with paragraph 2.2.5.1 of the NTC 2008. Test according to chapter 5 of the NTC 2008; and

.2 the simplified measurement method in accordance with section 6.3 of the

NTC 2008 as regulated in paragraph 2.2.5.2 (Primary failure case) of the NTC 2008.

1.3 According to paragraph 2.2.5.1 of the NTC 2008 the engine system fitted with SCR should be tested on a test bed (Scheme A). Where that is not appropriate, given reasons as outlined under paragraph 3.1.1 of these guidelines; the provisions of Scheme B as set out in these guidelines should be applied. 1.4 Administrations are invited to take these guidelines into account when certifying engines fitted with SCR. 2 GENERAL 2.1 Purpose 2.1.1 The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance in addition to the requirements of the NTC 2008 for design, testing, surveys and certification of marine diesel engines fitted with an SCR system to ensure its compliance with the requirements of regulation 13 of MARPOL Annex VI. 2.2 Application 2.2.1 These guidelines apply to marine diesel engines fitted with SCR for compliance with regulation 13 of MARPOL Annex VI. 2.3 Definitions 2.3.1 Unless provided otherwise, the terms in these guidelines have the same meaning as the terms defined in regulation 2 of MARPOL Annex VI and in section 1.3 of the NTC 2008. 2.3.2 "Engine system fitted with SCR" means a system consisting of a marine diesel engine, an SCR chamber and a reductant injection system. When a control device on NOx-reducing performance is provided, it is also regarded as a part of the system. 2.3.3 "Catalyst block" means a block of certain dimension through which exhaust gas passes and which contains catalyst composition on its inside surface to reduce NOx from exhaust gas. 2.3.4 "SCR chamber" means an integrated unit, which contains the catalyst block(s), and into which flows exhaust gas and reductant.

2.3.5 "Reductant injection system" means a system, which consists of the pump(s) to supply reductant to the nozzle(s), the nozzle(s) spraying reductant into the exhaust gas stream and control device(s) of the spray. 2.3.6 "AV (area velocity) value" means a value of the exhaust gas flow rate passing through the catalyst blocks (m3/h) per total active surface area of the catalyst blocks in the SCR chamber (m2). Therefore, unit of AV value is (m/h). The exhaust gas flow volume is the volume defined at 0°C and 101.3 kPa. 2.3.7 "SV (space velocity) value" means a value of the exhaust gas flow rate passing through the catalyst block(s) (m3/h) per total volume of the catalyst block(s) in the SCR chamber (m3). Therefore, unit of SV value is (1/h). The exhaust gas flow volume is the volume defined at 0°C and 101.3 kPa. 2.3.8 "Total volume of the catalyst block" means the volume (m3) based on outer dimensions of the catalyst block. 2.3.9 "LV (linear velocity) value" means a value of the exhaust gas flow rate passing through the catalyst blocks (m3/h) per catalyst block's section (m2) in a normal direction of exhaust gas flow. Therefore, unit of LV value is (m/h). The exhaust gas flow volume is the volume defined at 0°C and 101.3 kPa. 2.3.10 "Block section" means the cross-sectional area (m2) of the catalyst block based on the outer dimensions. 2.3.11 "NOx reduction rate " means a value deriving from the following formula.

3.2 Technical File and on board NOx verification procedures 3.2.1 In addition to the information supplied in paragraph 3.1.3 of these guidelines and items in section 2.4 of the NTC 2008, engine systems fitted with SCR should include the following information in its Technical File:

.1 reductant: component/type and concentration; .2 reductant injection system including critical dimensions and supply volume; .3 design features of SCR specific components in the exhaust duct from the

engine exhaust manifold to the SCR chamber; .4 catalyst block specification and arrangement in the SCR chamber; .5 inlet parameters including allowable exhaust gas temperature (maximum

and minimum) at the inlet of the SCR chamber; .6 cross-unit parameters: allowable pressure loss ( p) between inlet and

outlet of SCR chamber and in the exhaust duct caused by SCR components;

.7 aspects related to the fuel oil quality resulting in continued compliance of

the engine with the applicable NOx emission limit; .8 factors related to the deterioration rate of SCR performance, e.g., exchange

condition for SCR blocks and recommended exchange time of SCR blocks; .9 controlling arrangements and settings of the SCR, e.g., model, specification

of control device; .10 measures to minimize reductant slip; .11 parameter check method as the verification procedure: with regard to the

application of the parameter check method, requirements given in paragraph 2.3.6 of the NTC 2008 and guidance given in appendix VII, paragraph 2 of the NTC 2008 should be taken into account in assessing the adequacy of a proposed procedure with analysers meeting or exceeding the requirements of appendix III of the NTC 2008; and

.12 any other parameter(s) specified by the manufacturer.

3.3 Measures to minimize reductant slip 3.3.1 When SCR uses urea solution, ammonia solution or ammonia gas as reductant, measures to prevent reductant slip should be provided to avoid the supply of an excessive amount of reductant in the system. The reductant injection system should be designed to prevent emissions of any harmful substance from the system. 3.4 Pre-certification procedure 3.4.1 Test and pre-certification of an engine system fitted with SCR should be conducted either by Scheme A (as given in section 5 of these guidelines), or by Scheme B (as given in sections 6 and 7 of these guidelines), as appropriate.

3.5 EIAPP certificate 3.5.1 An Engine International Air Pollution Prevention (EIAPP) Certificate (see appendix I of the NTC 2008) should be issued by the Administration after approval of the Technical File. 3.5.2 When an applicant chooses the Scheme B for pre-certification, the IAPP initial survey should not be completed until the on board initial confirmation test provides compliant results. The applicant remains the responsible entity until final acceptance of the system. 4 FAMILY AND GROUP CONCEPTS FOR ENGINE SYSTEMS FITTED WITH SCR 4.1 Requirements in chapter 4 of the NTC 2008 apply equally to engine systems fitted with SCR. 5 TEST PROCEDURES FOR SCHEME A 5.1 General 5.1.1 A test for a combined system of an engine fitted with an SCR in Scheme A is to ensure compliance with the applicable NOx emission limits of MARPOL Annex VI, as required. The test bed measurement procedures of chapter 5 of the NTC 2008 should apply. 5.2 Calculation of gaseous emissions 5.2.1 The calculation method in section 5.12 of the NTC 2008 is also applied to engine systems fitted with SCR. No allowance is made for the reductant solution injected into the exhaust gas stream in respect of its effect on exhaust gas mass flow rate calculation (appendix VI) or dry/wet correction factor (equation (11), paragraph 5.12.3.2.2 of the NTC 2008). The NOx correction factor for humidity and temperature (equations (16) or (17), paragraphs 5.12.4.5 and 5.12.4.6, respectively, of the NTC 2008) should not be applied. 5.2.2 For an engine system fitted with SCR, the following parameters should be measured and recorded in the engine test report in accordance with section 5.10 of the NTC 2008:

.1 injection rate of reductant at each load point (kg/h); .2 exhaust gas temperature at the inlet and outlet of the SCR chamber (°C); .3 pressure loss (kPa): it is necessary to measure the pressure at inlet and at

outlet of the SCR chamber and to calculate pressure loss p. If the manufacturer sets an allowable limit of p, it should be confirmed; and

.4 other parameter(s) as specified by the Administration.

6 TEST PROCEDURES FOR SCHEME B 6.1 General 6.1.1 A test for an engine system fitted with SCR in Scheme B is to ensure that the system complies with the applicable NOx emission limits in MARPOL Annex VI, as required. The test procedures in Scheme B are as follows:

.1 an engine is tested to obtain the NOx emission value (g/kWh) in accordance with paragraph 6.2.1 of these guidelines;

Page 157: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24 Annex 6, page 7

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

.2 the SCR NOx reduction rate may be calculated by modelling tools, taking into account geometrical reference conditions, chemical NOx conversion models as well as other parameters to be considered;

.3 an SCR chamber, not necessarily to full scale, is to be tested in accordance

with section 6.3 of these guidelines in order to generate data for the calculation model as that used in paragraph 6.1.1.2 of these guidelines;

.4 the NOx emission from the engine system fitted with SCR, which is

calculated in accordance with section 6.4 of these guidelines using the NOx emission value from the engine and the NOx reduction rate of SCR chamber. At this point the Technical File will be completed and this NOx emission value will be entered into the supplement of the EIAPP certificate; and

.5 the NOx emission performance of the engine combined with the SCR is

verified by a confirmation test in accordance with the procedure in paragraph 7.5 of these guidelines.

6.2 Verification test procedures for an engine 6.2.1 The purpose of the test of an engine is to establish the emission values for use in section 6.4 of these guidelines. These measurements should be in accordance with chapter 5 of the NTC 2008. 6.2.2 Paragraph 5.9.8.1 of the NTC 2008 requires engine conditions to be measured at each mode point, for an engine system. This equally applies in the case of an engine fitted with SCR. Additionally, exhaust gas temperature at the intended inlet of the SCR chamber should be determined and recorded in the test report as required by section 5.10 of the NTC 2008. 6.3 Test procedures for SCR chambers 6.3.1 General 6.3.1.1 The SCR chamber for validation testing may be either a full scale SCR chamber or a scaled version. A SCR chamber should demonstrate the reduction in NOx concentrations (ppm) expected in exhaust gas measured in section 6.2 of these guidelines. Therefore, NOx reduction rate of the SCR chamber should be determined for each individual mode point. Where undertaken on a scaled version of the SCR chamber the scaling process should be validated to the satisfaction of the Administration. 6.3.2 Test conditions at each mode point 6.3.2.1 Exhaust gas, catalyst, reductant and an injection system should satisfy the following conditions at each mode point:

.1 Exhaust gas flow Exhaust gas flow rate for the test should be scaled accordingly to account for the dimension of the catalyst model.

.2 Exhaust gas component

Exhaust gas for the test should either be diesel engine exhaust gas or simulated gas.

Where diesel exhaust gas is used it should correspond, in terms of concentrations, to the exhaust gas in section 6.2 of these guidelines, in terms of NOx, O2, CO2, H2O, and SO2 (±5% of the required concentration for each emission species). Where simulated gas is used it should correspond, in terms of concentrations, to the exhaust gas in section 6.2 of these guidelines, in terms of NO, NO2, O2, CO2, H2O, and SO2 (±5% of the required concentration for each emission species) balance N2.

.3 Exhaust gas temperature

The temperature of exhaust gas used for the test should correspond to the temperatures obtained from testing in section 6.2 of these guidelines, ensuring that the SCR chamber is activated at every load point, other than as provided for by 3.1.4 of the NTC 2008, and that no ammonia bisulphate formation, or reductant destruction, takes place.

.4 Catalyst blocks and AV,SV value

The catalyst blocks used in the test should be representative of the catalyst blocks to be used in the SCR chamber in service. AV,SV or LV value should, in the case of full scale tests, be within a range of ±20% of the required value as obtained in testing from section 6.2 of these guidelines. In the case of scaled tests it should correspond to the above.

.5 Reductant

The reductant concentration should be representative of the reductant concentration in the exhaust gas during actual operation.

6.3.3 Stability for measurement 6.3.3.1 All measurements should be recorded after they have stabilized. 6.3.4 List of data to be derived from the model 6.3.4.1 Operating data which is to be given in the Technical File should be derived from the modelling process or otherwise justified. 6.3.4.2 Exhaust gas analysers should be in accordance with appendix III and appendix IV of the NTC 2008 or otherwise to the satisfaction of the Administration. 6.3.5 Test report for SCR chamber 6.3.5.1 Data recorded under paragraph 6.3.1.1 of these guidelines should be recorded in the test report as required by section 5.10 of the NTC 2008. 6.4 Calculation of the specific emission 6.4.1 The NOx emission value of the engine system fitted with SCR should be calculated as follows:

The NOx reduction rate should be calculated. Both values should either be dry or wet. The value obtained for NOx reduction rate should be compared to the initial confirmation test required value at each mode point as given in the Technical File. Reduction efficiency values obtained at each of the test points should not be less than the corresponding values as given in the Technical File by more than 5%. 7.6 The NOx analyser should meet the requirements of chapter 5 of the NTC 2008. 7.7 When an engine system fitted with SCR is in a group defined in chapter 4 of these guidelines, the confirmation test should be conducted only for the parent engine system of the group.

ANNEX

2011 GUIDELINES FOR RECEPTION FACILITIES UNDER MARPOL ANNEX VI 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The main objectives of these Guidelines are to:

.1 assist Governments in developing and enacting domestic laws which give force to and implement provisions set forth in regulation 17, Reception Facilities, of MARPOL Annex VI;

.2 assist port and terminal operators and ship repair ports, and ship recycling

facilities in assessing the need for and providing adequate reception facilities for Ozone Depletion Substances (ODS) and equipment containing ODS; and

.3 assist port and terminal operators in assessing the need for, and providing

adequate reception facilities for exhaust gas cleaning residues. 1.2 Adequate MARPOL Annex VI reception facilities shall meet the needs of ships calling at a port or terminal without causing undue delay. 1.3 MARPOL Annex VI, regulation 17 specifies two types of wastes that Parties must ensure the provision of reception facilities for ships calling at their ports:

.1 Ozone Depleting Substances are those defined in MARPOL Annex VI, regulation 2.16; and

.2 Exhaust gas cleaning residues are ship-generated residues that may range

from liquid to solid. 2 DEFINITIONS With reference to regulation 17 of MARPOL Annex VI: 2.1 Remotely located port or terminal means a port or terminal as informed to the Organization under regulation 17.2 of MARPOL Annex VI. 2.2 Manage and process means actions related to the collection, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of ODS and/or exhaust gas cleaning residues such that they are rendered in a safe and environmentally benign condition in accordance with best available practices. 2.3 Appropriate action means those actions taken by informed Parties to communicate to ships under their control that the advised ports cannot handle certain ODS and/or exhaust gas cleaning residues and those actions ships will need to take necessary to manage or process those substances in an alternative manner. Such alternatives could include arranging for collection before or after visiting the affected port, and in the latter case, ensuring adequate on board storage exists for those substances. 2.4 EGCS residues are a product of the water treatment process. The residue can be formed and removed from the water with different treatment techniques. Such residues contain sulphates, ash/soot, metals and hydrocarbons removed from the water.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 7, page 3

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

2.5 ODS and equipment containing ODS are as defined in regulation 2.16 and equipment as referred to in regulation 12.4. 3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MARPOL ANNEX VI RECEPTION FACILITIES 3.1 Treatment and disposal of ODS and EGCS residues Taking into consideration its own local and national environmental laws and regulations as well as applicable international regulations and treaties, a Party should adopt strategies for collection, storage, transport, treatment and disposal of ODS and EGCS residues. Strategies for managing MARPOL Annex VI wastes should be safe and environmentally benign and based on industry best practices and best available technologies, and taking into account the local infrastructure. Parties are highly encouraged to make regular updates to the availability of Annex VI reception facilities in the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) at: http://gisis.imo.org/Public/. 3.2 Composition of EGCS residues Residues may contain sulphates, ash/soot, metals and hydrocarbons removed from the wash water. Specifically it may contain sulphite salts (CaSOx) and may also include other metal sulphites (NaSOx and KSOx) and metal oxides and including Vanadium (V), Nickel (Ni), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), Iron (Fe), and Silicon (Si). 3.3 Training/certification of personnel Taking into consideration its own local and national laws and regulations Parties should ensure that personnel who process ODS have been properly trained in all personal protective measures to ensure safe handling of such materials and prevent the release of ODS to the atmosphere. Administrations should develop a certification system whereby letters or certificates are issued to qualified shore side personnel attesting to proper training for handling ODS and equipment containing ODS and operating disposal equipment. Such equipment should comply with rigorous standards for operation and be certified and/or approved. 3.4 Sufficient capacity for the throughput of trade and the likely volumes to be handled Parties should undertake to evaluate the types and capacities of ships using their ports and terminals to determine the quantities of ODS and EGCS residues likely to be generated. Parties should ensure that ports and terminals have the capacity to collect and store, if necessary, ODS and EGCS residues from any and all ships that use its ports terminals. If capacity from several ports or terminals, including remotely located ports or terminals, is to be pooled then a Party should ensure that the capacity of such a pooled resource is sufficient for all facilities using it. 3.5 Provision of documentation for custody transfer from ship to reception facility The Organization published MEPC.1/Circ.671, A Guide to Good Practice for Port Reception Facility Providers and Users. This user friendly guidance includes Appendix 2, MEPC.1/Circ.644, Advance Notification Form (ANF); and MEPC.1/Circ.645 Waste Delivery Receipt (WDR). These standard forms may be used by ship masters and port reception facility operators to document the transfer of wastes by type and quantity from ships to shore side reception facilities. When providing advanced notification to a port or terminal that Annex VI reception facilities will be required, the ANF may be used. Where reception facility operators are required to provide to the ship a receipt for ODS and/or EGCS residues, the WDR may be used.

4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE WHEN MARPOL ANNEX VI RECEPTION FACILITIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE

4.1 Where reception facilities are not provided Parties must notify the Organization in the event that a port or terminal cannot provide ODS or EGCS residue reception facilities. In addition Parties must notify the Organization where such facilities are, alternatively, provided. Parties are highly encouraged to make regular updates to the availability of Annex VI reception facilities in the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) at: http://gisis.imo.org/Public/. Parties that inform the Organization of ports that cannot accept ODS or EGCS residues are encouraged to provide an explanation as to the specific reasons that necessitate such notification. 4.2 Use of regional/bi-lateral agreements The concept of regional arrangements is encouraged as a possible alternative for ensuring adequacy of reception facilities. Parties could enter into a regional or bi-lateral arrangement with other Parties in a region that would provide reception facilities to ships travelling in the region. It has been recognized by the Organization that waste management planning on a regional basis and the establishment of regional arrangements can provide an alternative solution for ensuring that ships do not have an incentive to discharge waste into the environment, including the atmosphere, and that ports and terminals within a region can meet the requirements of regulation 17 of MARPOL Annex VI. 4.3 Alternative facilities (required to be reported in accordance with regulation 17.2) A Party shall report to the Organization when any alternative arrangement is made by a port or terminal to provide ODS or EGCS residue reception facilities. Additionally, a Party shall report to the Organization where such adequate reception facilities are provided. 4.4 Criteria for those alternative measures for reception facilities Criteria for those alternative measures for reception facilities should take into consideration the capacities required to meet the needs of ships calling in their region and without causing undue delay. 4.5 Alternative reception facilities Alternative reception facilities should have an environmentally acceptable method for processing/handling MARPOL Annex VI wastes as outlined in paragraph 5.1. 5 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SHIPS USING PORTS WHERE RECEPTION

FACILITIES ARE NOT AVAILABLE 5.1 Voyage planning and on board storage Voyage planning should be part of any waste management planning strategy. Masters of ships should ensure that there is adequate on board capacity for storage of all ODS and EGCS residues that may be generated during the course of voyages which include visits to ports or terminals where reception facilities are not available.

ANNEX 8

STATEMENTS BY THE DELEGATIONS OF BRAZIL, INDIA, PERU AND POLAND ON MATTERS OF PRINCIPLE OR POLICY CONCERNING

REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS Statement by the delegation of Brazil Brazil supports the establishment of a working group to discuss energy efficiency measures for ships. This is an important and sensitive issue that should be very carefully dealt with by this Committee. Brazil would like to reiterate that there are several outstanding technical, economic, and technological uncertainties and technical issues still pending related to document MEPC 62/6/3. Many of those uncertainties and technical issues are raised in documents submitted under agenda item 5. Moreover, document MEPC 62/6/3 proposes the mandatory application of EEDI and SEEMP, and should thus be treated together with all other documents related to EEDI and SEEMP. It is the position of Brazil that EEDI and SEEMP should be treated in a package, by a single working group, with terms of reference to include the discussion of both documents under item 5 and documents under the provisional item 6.2. Brazil believes it is premature to consider the proposed amendments on energy efficiency in a drafting group. Brazil is of the position that this amendment proposal and related documents should be referred to a working group before it can be considered by a drafting group. In order to maximize our precious time during this week, Brazil would like to reiterate our proposal that a separate group is established to discuss air pollution, while another working group should be established to consider all issues related to GHG emissions reductions from ships and energy efficiency measures. The terms of reference for such a working group on energy efficiency measures for ships should include all documents submitted under agenda item 5, as well as document MEPC 62/6/3 and related documents that were provisionally included under item 6.2. Statement by the delegation of India We appreciate the importance given by the International Maritime Organization and the Secretary General to the issue of GHG which we see as a serious threat faced by the earth and humankind. At the same time, we also note that international shipping activity account for less than 3% of the overall GHG emissions. To circulate the proposed amendments to MARPOL VI despite there being no consensus or approval by MEPC, defeats the very foundation of international relations and cooperation that binds the multilateral institutional practice and the culture of collectivism, as cornerstones of peace and progress. One of the key objectives of the IMO Committees is to ensure maximum possible participation of all Member States and organizations with observer status in its work and its subsidiary bodies. Further, as per Article 16(2) (d), an adoption of the amendments by a majority of two thirds of the Parties to the Convention present and voting, excludes those who are not yet Parties to the Convention, though not necessarily averse to ratifying it, is rather improper, particularly leading to eliminating some Member States who have actively participated in relevant debates in previous sessions of MEPC. As we see only 65 States have ratified the MARPOL Annex VI, dealing with the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 8, page 2

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

In order to ratify the Convention, each Party is required to ensure that they comply with the requirements of the Convention and as such, some take more than the others. Concerns have been raised by the Parties in their submissions with respect to the EEDI formula. One of the documents clearly states that shipbuilders have proven their competitive edge in producing the most advanced and fuel efficient ships world-wide, and they are still concerned about the lack of maturity of the EEDI concept regarding complex type issues. Other document has raised the issue of specialized ships that are extremely efficient in their particular trades, could ultimately lead to an increase in emissions. Further, EEDI concept has too many limitations and flaws which while trying to achieve reduction on CO2 emission can actually lead to having nil or even negative impact which has been already been researched and projected. It is our firm opinion that such a serious and important issue is being dealt with in a very superficial manner without taking into any account the fact that over the last few decades ship designers have been toiling to have most efficient engines developed, and instead of further utilizing such experts advise and finding proper solutions a flawed proposal with a lot of pitfalls on technical front as well as without a proper study of the implications of this on reliability and safety of navigation is being brought to the table. We are very sure that IMO does not want to see Vessels with badly degraded manoeuvrability and poor heavy weather performance or higher number of Vessels to fulfil trade needs just to fulfil the requirements of EEDI. We are yet to ascertain the implication of adopting EEDI, regardless of vessels type and size, on their sea going characteristics. We feel IMO is losing sight of its actual objective of ensuring safe and secure shipping and in this instance unnecessarily treading onto an area of technicality which is best dealt with by experts in that field and by proposing EEDI exposing international shipping to a proposal which has the potential for extremely damaging consequences. Mr. Chairman, by taking this opportunity, I would like to reiterate the India's position on this issue:

.1 Technical and operational Measures: we support the initiative for energy efficiency measures as long as it is voluntary at this stage, and all parameters are worked out.

.2 We do not support Market Based Measures, as the WTO compatibility of

the MBM proposals needs to be examined in all their aspects before any further discussion on this issue.

India would reiterate that the specific proposal to include legislative measures as a part of MARPOL Convention in Annex VI is not the correct legal procedure. Details will be made available while introducing India's submission, document MEPC 62/6/9. Further, we would like to emphasize that whatever measure is adopted by the Committee and by the organization should adhere to the principle of the UNFCCC and of the Kyoto Protocol. India will not accept any legally binding commitment at this stage. During the just concluded Bonn Climate Change Talks, no consensus on international shipping and aviation bunker fuel could be reached. Mr. Chairman, as you may be aware; six options have been proposed during the Bonn talks, for the bunker fuels. This clearly shows that there is no consensus among the Parties. It will be prudent to await the outcome of COP 17 and allow MEPC 63 to discuss the entire issue.

MEPC 62/24 Annex 8, page 3

I:\MEPC\62\24.doc

In case, we reach no consensus on the Mandatory application of the technical measures by Friday, and the route of voting is to be adopted, Mr. Chairman, this will set a precedent, and the working of IMO which so far, has been through the consensus, may bring in unnecessary division between the Annex I and Non Annex I Parties. Statement by the delegation of Peru Peru is a country highly vulnerable to the harmful effects of climate change, and so the Peruvian Government is fully engaged in the multilateral efforts to achieve a binding, enterprising and effective agreement which corresponds to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. Consistent with this position, Peru believes that global mitigation efforts should be undertaken mainly by the developed countries, while the developing countries adapt their societies and economies to climate change. While Peru welcomes the incorporation of future new technical and operational measures to reduce CO2 levels within the IMO regulatory framework, it considers that the procedure put forward by a group of countries to incorporate new mandatory measures through amendment of MARPOL Annex VI constitutes a hasty proposal which does not help to advance the collective efforts to reduce greenhouse gases in the maritime sector. It has widened the division in the Organization and ignores other features of the negotiation of a global and fair agreement that incorporates technology transfer and the creation of capacity. Peru considers that the proposed legal procedure is not sound, leaves aside fundamental aspects of the negotiation of a global agreement, such as recognition of differing development levels and capacities, and, lastly, seeks to make EEDI approval subject to decision by a group of countries – those that accede to Annex VI. Let us recall that not all Member States agree that Annex VI is the appropriate tool, given that all of us who are party to the MARPOL Convention want to be part of the decision-making process. Consequently, the current proposal has accentuated divisions at IMO and does not appear to enjoy the necessary support, which will make it more difficult for new technical and operational measures to be implemented by developing countries. Statement by the delegation of Poland At the outset of discussion on this agenda item let us express and reiterate the commitment of Poland to further work, in cooperation with other Parties here at the IMO, towards a meaningful progress on technical, operational and Market-Based Measures for new and existing ships to reduce GHG emissions from international maritime transport. The external pressure and expectations of the international community on the IMO are clearly visible, and are obviously understandable. Much work has been already done, but IMO is expected now to produce a regulatory frame for the reduction of emission from shipping. It is apparent that the market based measures need some further discussion before being incorporated into IMO's regulatory framework; on the other hand - the agreement on the technical and operational ways of emission reduction, namely: the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) and SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan), is within the reach of arm. In view of this delegation it would be most appropriate to focus the Committee's efforts on this issue and to finalize the work on EEDI, so that the respective amendments be adopted at this session. It will be a good message to the international community that IMO is really progressing, and delivering, its contribution to the world's efforts towards GHG reduction and climate change mitigation. Mr. Chairman, this statement only presents the general view of this delegation and we may have some specific comments to certain documents on this agenda item, once they are presented.

ANNEX 11

STATEMENT BY THE OBSERVER OF CESA DURING THE DEBATE ON GHG ISSUES

Statement by the observer of CESA on document MEPC 62/5/10 (China et al.) With this intervention the European shipbuilders and ship repairers would like to comment technological aspects of MEPC 62/5/10, in particular the proposal of China, Saudi Arabia and South Africa regarding technology transfer contained in paragraphs 9, 15 and 16. Although CESA would like express the willingness of the shipbuilding industry to contribute to the principles of technical co-operation, design transparency and technology transfer in order to contribute to the shared search for solutions to the major challenges, including climate change, we have to voice grave concern regarding the draft regulation [x]. The wording proposed in the second and third sentence will not promote technical assistance and capacity building, nor will it facilitate the development of energy efficiency enhancing technology. Due to the provision to send all new ship designs and EEDI reducing technology into the public domain combined with the complete absence of any provisions ensuring the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) this regulation, if adopted, would in fact terminate all industry investments into research and innovation necessary to develop CO2 reduction options beyond slow steaming and other operational measures. In modern shipping both environment protection and competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry depend on the continuous development of the state of the art in naval architecture and advanced emission reduction technology. This win-win situation for regulators as well as for producers of high-tech ships and marine equipment should be maintained through a high level of IPR protection. If sensitive design data have to be disclosed they will fall victim to product piracy inhibiting any return of investment. Unrestricted design transparency without protective measures for the knowledge assets would jeopardise the incentive and financial means to innovate. This is not capacity building, but destruction of industrial know-how. Are IMO flag states willing to transfer the burden of technological development to state owned research institutes alone and to exclusively finance innovation from public sources? Therefore any IMO activities on technology transfer, in particular the work of an Ad Hoc Capacity-building Needs Analysis Group as proposed in paragraph 16, should be firmly based on internationally agreed IPR principles and accompanied by concrete, appropriate and effective protective measures in line with the strategic goals of the World Intellectual Property Organization and in intensive collaboration all stakeholders including WIPO as the responsible UN special agency. Such a working group could also analyse the maritime meaning of the term "developing countries" and "capacity building" in light of the fact that China has increased its ship production by 1500% since 2000 recently becoming the shipbuilding nation number 1.

"Regulation [x] – Promotion of Technical Assistance and Capacity Building: In order to promote the reduction of GHG emissions from international shipping, transparency of technology shall be increased in the implementation of technical measures of the EEDI. All new ship designs and technology which reduce the attained EEDI value of a ship shall be open to the public. Developed countries shall transfer their technology and provide financial support to developing countries for their capacity building so as to enhance their ability to satisfy these new requirements."

4.2 Amount of garbage The amount of garbage on board should be estimated in cubic metres, if possible separately according to category. The Garbage Record Book contains many references to estimated amount of garbage. It is recognized that the accuracy of estimating amounts of garbage is left to interpretation. Volume estimates will differ before and after processing. Some processing procedures may not allow for a usable estimate of volume, e.g., the continuous processing of food waste. Such factors should be taken into consideration when making and interpreting entries made in a record.

MEPC CIRCULAR*

ON THE DATE OF TAKING EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENTS TO REGULATIONS 13 AND 14 OF MARPOL ANNEX VI ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION MEPC.202(62)

1 The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its sixtieth session (March 2010), adopted the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, by resolution MEPC.190(60), to designate the North American area as an emission control area for nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter. MEPC 61 agreed that these amendments shall enter into force on 1 August 2011. 2 The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its sixty-second session (July 2011), adopted the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, by resolution MEPC.202(62), to designate the United States Caribbean Sea area as an emission control area for nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter. MEPC 62 agreed that these amendments shall enter into force on 1 January 2013, upon their acceptance in accordance with article 16 of the Convention. 3 Regulation 14.7 of MARPOL Annex VI specifies that "During the first twelve months immediately following entry into force of an amendment designating a specific emission control area under paragraph 3 of this regulation, ships operating in that emission control area are exempt from the requirements in paragraph 4 and 6 of this regulation and from the requirements of paragraph 5 of this regulation insofar as they relate to paragraph 4 of this regulation". 4 In accordance with regulation 14.7, the requirement for the North American area as an emission control area under regulation 14 shall take effect on 1 August 2012, and for the United States Caribbean Sea area shall take effect on 1 January 2014. 5 Noting that the effective dates for such areas have not been specified in the adopted text of regulation 14.3, MEPC 62 requested the issuance of a circular announcing these dates in order to avoid any ambiguity. 6 Recognizing that the said amendments to regulation 14.3 of MARPOL Annex VI will enter into force in accordance with the amendment procedure as prescribed in article 16(2)(d) of the MARPOL Convention, MEPC 62 urged Member Governments to take early action before the amendments come into force. 7 Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of their Administrations, relevant shipping organizations, recognized organizations, shipping companies and other stakeholders concerned.

ANNEX 17

STATEMENTS BY THE DELEGATIONS OF BRAZIL, INDIA, AUSTRALIA AND CHILE ON THE CIRCULATION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO MARPOL ANNEX VI

Statement by the delegation of Brazil Through the submission of document MEPC 62/6/15 by Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, India, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa and Venezuela, the co-sponsors comment on document MEPC 62/6/3 submitted by the Secretariat, which sets out the text of the proposed draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, as submitted by nine Parties to said Annex. Paragraph 3 of that document states that MEPC 61 noted the intention of the delegation of Norway to request that the Secretary-General circulated the proposed draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI as prepared by the working group. However, the proposed draft amendments, presented by the Secretariat as an Annex to the afore-mentioned document and circulated at the request of nine Parties to MARPOL Annex VI under cover of Circular letter No.3128, are in fact not the draft amendments as prepared by the Working Group at MEPC 61 (annex 1 to document MEPC 61/WP.10), but new draft amendments as prepared by the said Parties, and for the first time submitted to IMO Member States, and Parties to the MARPOL Convention which are not Members of IMO, on pink paper. In this respect, the long-established procedure of the Organization is to circulate proposed amendments printed on pink paper, as an indication that such amendments have previously been approved for adoption by the Committee. Since the amendments proposed by the said Parties, and circulated according to Article 16(2)(a), have neither been approved, nor have they been considered as yet by the Organization, there are no logical grounds, nor any indication of such in Article 16(2)(a), why they should have been circulated on pink paper. Furthermore, Article 16(2)(b) of the Convention states that "any amendment proposed and circulated as above shall be submitted to an appropriate body by the Organization for consideration". However, document MEPC 62/6/3 by the Secretariat submits the draft amendments together with a draft MEPC resolution for their adoption. Should this procedure be correct, surely Article 16(2)(b) should read: "any amendment proposed and circulated as above shall be submitted to an appropriate body by the Organization for consideration and adoption". There is no doubt that all the amendments to the MARPOL Convention, approved and adopted by the Organization, have followed the procedures specified in Article 16 of the Convention. The co-sponsors thus do not comprehend why the Organization, at this particular instance, decided to apply the provisions of Articles 16(2)(b) and 16(2)(d) at the same session of the Committee. It is our firm understanding that Article 16(2)(d) should not be applied at this stage consistent with the customary procedure of the Organization. Therefore, the co-sponsors cannot endorse the action requested of the Committee in document MEPC 62/6/3. It is also against this background, and in view of the fact that the Committee is expected at this session to continue its work on the development of technical, operational and Market-Based Measures for the reduction of GHG emissions from ships (MEPC 62/1/1, annex 1, paragraphs 5.1 to 5.3), that the co-sponsors deem it appropriate to refer the proposed draft amendments for consideration under agenda item 5, where a Working Group is expected to be established.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 17, page 2

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

Statement by the delegation of India The document MEPC 62/6/9 by India discusses Circular letter No.3128 dated 24 November 2010, circulated by the Secretary-General in accordance with article 16(2)(a) of the MARPOL Convention. This document also discusses the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, Article 31, and proposes that IMO should not deliberate on any mandatory application of measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships. It may not be quite compatible to rely on the argument of "no more favourable treatment" to detract from the specific commitments of Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol to address the challenge of climate change. The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European Community for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The major distinction between the Protocol and the Convention is that while the Convention encouraged industrialized countries to stabilize GHG emissions, the Protocol commits them to do so. The Kyoto Protocol should be read in furtherance to and in line with UNFCCC from which it derives, particularly, in observing the preamble of the Kyoto Protocol and UNFCCC's fundamental object and purpose, which clearly enshrines the doctrine of CBDR. Therefore it is evident, that the provisions in Article 31, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, requiring that a treaty should be (i) interpreted in good faith and (ii) in the light of its objective and purpose, and that (iii) for the purpose of interpretation both the annex and the preamble of the treaty should be taken into consideration. This has not been adhered by those Governments requesting the circulation for making amendments in MARPOL Annex VI. The argument used by a number of delegations in the debates that IMO's "non-discriminatory approach" and the principle of "no more favourable treatment" can be made applicable in this particular case, contradicts the fundamentals of UNFCCC. As said earlier, the Convention and the Protocol form an inseparable body of principles, rules and regulations that should be read and interpreted in unison. Therefore, when interpreting provisions of the Kyoto Protocol, the IMO should have taken into consideration its preamble, which recalls UNFCCC, and in particular the pursuit of the Convention's ultimate objective (Article 2) and guiding principles (Article 3). Sadly, this does not appear to have been done. As the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties obviously calls for appreciating the broadest possible perspective to be taken into account in cases where interpretation of an international treaty is necessary for resolving any matter under the same treaty, India is constrained to oppose the proposal of making amendments to MARPOL Annex VI related to GHG, as it cannot be construed as "amendments". India does not share the understanding that the provisions of Article 16(2) (a) of MARPOL has been met, thus enabling the IMO to circulate the proposed amendments. On the contrary, India believes that the Organization has not formally considered the proposed "amendments", any more than, taking cognizance of the views expressed by a select few Countries. In order to enable formal consideration by the Organization, it is imperative to take appropriate note of the outcome of MEPC 61, which established that there was no consensus among the delegations on the mandatory application of the GHG issues.

India's reasoning is based on IMO's customary practice that only proposed amendments that have been approved by a Committee may be circulated for consideration with a view to adoption at a succeeding session of the Committee considering the proposed amendments. Second statement by the delegation of Brazil As regards the circulation of the proposed amendments, Brazil would like to make clear that we do not question the right of a Party to MARPOL Annex VI to submit any proposal of amendment to the Convention, for consideration of an appropriate body of the Organization. This right is clearly set out in its Articles 16(2)(a) and 16(2)(b). However, we do question the intended course of action as regards the approval and adoption of the proposed amendments to MARPOL Convention in one single session of the Committee, which in our view is not only unjustified but also unprecedented in this Organization. As far as we are aware, and we stand to be corrected, there has just been one comparable case in the past, namely the amendments proposed by 15 EU countries to regulations 13G and 27 of MARPOL Annex I. Again, there is no question as to the fact that the proposal strictly followed the procedures set out in Article 16, and yet, at that instance, the proposed amendments were submitted to MEPC 49, and approved at that session, but adopted only at MEPC 50. Having said that, we also note that a significant number of documents have been submitted presenting new proposals or concerns pertaining to the draft regulations on energy efficiency for ships, although in principle only simple drafting issues should be addressed under this agenda item. In particular, we would like to highlight the well founded concerns expressed by Vanuatu in document MEPC 62/6/23, and those of China in document MEPC 62/6/16, amongst several others. Therefore, given the considerable amount of work still pending as regards uncertainties and information gaps on the use of technical and operational measures to reduce GHG emission from ships, it is clear that the issue is still a long way from being finalized, thus the intended adoption of the proposed amendments at this session is neither recommended nor feasible. Statement by the delegation of Australia I would like to start by indicating this delegation's agreement with your summing up of this issue prior to our break. I would next like to thank the Director of Legal Affairs, the Secretary-General and our colleagues from Norway and Japan. They have brought those of us new to this house up to speed, and given us sound grounds for concluding that the proposed amendments have been brought to this meeting consistent with procedure, and that the amendments themselves fall within the scope of the provisions of MARPOL. From this strong basis we can then turn to the substance of the proposed amendments. They are the product of the co-sponsors extensive consultations. They are not the preferred formulation of the co-sponsors but do capture a common ground amongst many countries. We are encouraged by the statements from our colleagues, most recently South Africa, that they want to engage in a discussion of the proposals. Let us turn to the issues they have raised.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 17, page 4

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

We have heard that we must respect the principle of CBDR. That is a guiding principle of another international body. While we respect that body, we must remember that we are an independent sovereign body. We have our own principles – most importantly the principle to operate on the basis of universal rules applying without discrimination to all ships. This principle was shaped to reflect the nature of our work and must be respected. Aside from the fact that CBDR is not a principle of this house, it is also not compatible with the outcome we are trying to achieve. Differentiating between which flag States would apply the proposed measures would undermine the very environmental goal we are pursuing through the proposed amendments. In terms of the detail of the proposed amendments, countries' interventions seem to coalesce around two main areas – outstanding technical issues and uncertainties; and the need for more time in order to implement the proposed measures. Regarding the outstanding technical issues and uncertainties, we recognise they exist. We are confident that those issues that need to be resolved before the proposed amendments can be adopted can be resolved at this meeting. The other issues should still be addressed and can be the subject of a forward work programme. Perfection is always attractive but we must make sure that perfection is not the enemy of the good. Regarding the need for more time, we are interested in hearing more about the substance of what needs to be done during this time. We have heard from the shipping industry that they are ready to implement the proposed amendments. Consequently, we are keen to understand why further time is needed by certain countries to implement the amendments. Mr. Chair, we believe our proposed amendments are strong and reflect the views of many countries. Nevertheless, we are ready to heed the call of our Secretary-General and consider further revisions to the proposal in the interests of retaining a united house and preserving its spirit. In closing, we would like to recall that another delegation said we should consider the repercussions of the proposed amendments. Indeed, this is an important point. What are the repercussions? This delegation hopes that the repercussions will be two-fold:

.1 Action by the international shipping industry to contribute to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases. Such collective effort is critical to avoiding the dangerous climate change that threatens us all, in particular the most vulnerable amongst us from small island developing states and least developed countries.

.2 Delivery of our regulatory mandate relating to the environment and maintenance of international shipping as the most environmentally sustainable mode of transport.

Third statement by the delegation of Brazil Brazil would like to thank Dr. Balkin for the view expressed. In this respect we would like to make some comments. This delegation reiterates that, as far as the MEPC Committee is concerned, the only comparable case in the past was the mentioned amendments proposed by 15 EU countries to regulations 13G and 27 of MARPOL Annex I. Dr. Balkin expressed the view that "this is only one example" – but we beg to differ – this is the only example, as there is no other

regarding MEPC. And again, even in this particular and only precedent, approval and adoption did not occur at the same session of this Committee. Dr. Balkin also referred to past procedure of approval and adoption of amendments to the MARPOL Convention as "just a practice". Nevertheless, we trust that all amendments to the Convention have so far strictly followed the procedures set out in Article 16. As for the information provided by the delegation of Norway, we are of the view that, apart from the fact that it is not related to the MEPC, the amendments were also either consequential, reflecting decisions already approved and adopted previously; emergential, as in the case of an accident with a ship where the reasons were identified and amendments quickly made to the Convention in order to prevent similar cases in the future; or editorial. There is usually general agreement to these amendments. As for the present amendments to Annex VI:

.1 they are neither consequential, nor emergential or editorial;

.2 there has been no previous agreement to them, either by the MEPC or any subsidiary body;

.3 there are still evident technical uncertainties and information gaps relating to the use of technical and operational measures to include GHG emissions from ships; and

.4 there is no consensus. In brief, Mr. Chairman, this Committee has never before approved and adopted amendments to the MARPOL Convention at the same session. Therefore, we question the unprecedented and dangerous nature of the procedure being followed at this time, particularly on an important issue which does not have the consensus of the Parties at all. Last but not least, this is a discussion that all Parties to the Convention and not only those to Annex VI should take part in, as we are discussing procedures, not the amendments themselves, at this stage. Statement by the delegation of Chile Our delegation is grateful for the work of those countries that have developed proposals and discussion points with respect to future amendments to the MARPOL Convention, and also for the explanations provided by Dr. Balkin. As co-sponsors of document MEPC 62/6/15 we would like to bring the following general considerations before the plenary concerning the content of document MEPC 62/6/3 submitted by the Secretariat: Chile understands the urgent need to maximize energy efficiency in the international maritime industry. Its awareness of the problem is such that the Chilean fleet has voluntarily implemented strict measures, not only to reduce gas emissions but also out of the need to reach our commercial partners' more remote markets and ports by employing competitive standards and in a sustainable manner. We firmly believe it is advisable to continue the progress made towards implementing a package of measures that can enhance energy efficiency as a contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships.

Our country believes that the amendments submitted in document MEPC 62/6/3, although clearly aimed at optimizing ships' energy efficiency, require more time and more thorough consideration in order to understand their real significance for our fleets in the future and the economic impact they will have, especially for the developing countries. Likewise, our delegation considers that the regulations in the Energy Efficiency Design Index for ships are not sufficiently mature to be incorporated as an amendment to MARPOL Annex VI, the more so as, for this session, a number of comments and concerns have been put forward which need to be clarified before those regulations can be adopted. In this regard, we wish to make the following specific comments regarding the development of technical and operational measures affecting global maritime transport: The Chilean view is that the industry's efforts should be focused on continuing to develop, jointly and consensually, these amendments together with their technical and operational guidelines and recommendations, so that in the near future we will be able to understand the package of proposed amendments more clearly and accurately before IMO finally adopts them. We believe it important to consider incorporating in the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI a commitment by the developed countries to provide technical cooperation on these aspects, as well as capacity building that will enable all Member States to proceed in a more fair and impartial manner. Our country needs to clarify what the future impact and/or benefits for the industry will be once these measures are applied. In this regard the amendments contained in the above-mentioned Secretariat document do not yet provide sufficient certainty to permit a clear opinion to be expressed, and the operational measures have not yet been settled, as demonstrated by regulation 22 of the draft amendments. In short, the draft amendments and their related documents must be fully endorsed by the Committee before they can be adopted. From the operational viewpoint, we believe that whatever future emission reduction measures are adopted, there should be no speed limits imposed on ships and no attempt to incentivize speed reductions, as such a measure would have a particularly negative effect on those countries that are in an unfavourable geographical position in relation to the major world markets. We wish to make clear that we are not intrinsically opposed to the amendment of MARPOL Annex VI, but we would certainly wish to see resolved those aspects that remain unclear in the current package of amendments, before they are approved. Accordingly, we wish to state our determination to move forward on this issue, and we request the Committee to seek consensus among the Members of this Organization, so that together we can go on to achieve measures that are right for the industry, for the countries that are less developed economically, and for the environment as a whole.

ANNEX 18

STATEMENT BY THE DELEGATION OF SWEDEN ON THE RO-RO SEGMENT AND THE PROPOSAL FOR A RESOLUTION ON THE FUTURE WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION

PERTAINING TO MARPOL ANNEX VI Sweden would like to thank Japan and the Marshall Islands for their paper and the work they have done to prepare a set of draft resolutions that could be adopted together with possible adoption of the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI. We support these drafts to serve as the basis for such resolutions when we reach that point. However, we do have a comment and a proposal to add some text to annex four of that document – a proposal for a resolution on the future work of the organization pertaining to MARPOL Annex VI. Since the very start of the work of developing EEDI, Sweden has worked actively to find a solution to include the ro-ro segment. The problem of applying the methodology that sets EEDI reference lines to this segment has been recognized – and that problem is the very reason the proposed regulation does not include any reduction rates for ro-ro ships. I want to be clear that Sweden wants the ro-ro segment to be included in the framework and we wholeheartedly support a firm commitment to include these ships. However, as it has been acknowledged that the methodology in the regulation makes it difficult to define a required EEDI for ro-ro ships, we have to allow the consideration of alternative methodologies when firm requirements are to be included for these ships. With this background, Sweden strongly supports the adoption of a resolution on the future work of the organization pertaining to MARPOL Annex VI, as proposed in MEPC 62/6/7 annex 4 that includes firm commitments to develop, with a view to adopt, a set of requirements for ships defined in regulations 2.32 to 2.36. However, in order to allow alternative, more effective methodologies to be considered, we propose to include some words in operative paragraph 1 of the proposed resolution. After the text "including the establishment of appropriate EEDI reference lines and EEDI reduction factors" we propose to include "or equivalent (energy efficiency) instruments". This amendment would not affect the commitment or mandatory reductions for these ships – it would only recognize the difficulty of applying the methodology that is currently in the regulation. Again, the fact that the application of the methodology to certain ship types is difficult and has unjust consequences is the very reason they have been omitted at this stage.

ANNEX 20

STATEMENTS BY THE DELEGATIONS OF BRAZIL, CHINA, INDIA, SAUDI ARABIA AND THE BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA AND THE OBSERVERS OF

THE PACIFIC ENVIRONMENT AND CLEAN SHIPPING COALITION AFTER THE ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO MARPOL ANNEX VI

Statement by the delegation of Brazil As raised by this delegation, the procedure of approval and adoption at the same session in unprecedented in this Committee. This may be due to the fact that relevant issues discussed by MEPC need to be thoroughly analysed and matured, and not considered in a hasty manner. The adoption of the amendments to Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention completely disregards the pending technical, technological and economic uncertainties, particularly as regards the potential impacts on developing countries. The provisions and principles of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol have not been properly addressed, and we consider that we cannot possibly adopt measures on climate change, which do not comply with those provisions and principles. We have been presented with no assurances as to technology transfer, as the negotiations implied a package deal so as to ensure balance, which clearly did not happen. We have heard several mentions to "compromise" and "good faith", and yet have constantly been presented with inflexibility. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, Brazil is regrettably forced to reserve its position as regards the adoption of said amendments at this session and request that this statement be included in the final report of the Committee. Statement by the delegation of China The Chinese delegation appreciates the effort of IMO in addressing the issue of climate change from the international shipping. But we have to express our regret for the failure of not reflecting the common but differentiated responsibility principle in a full and objective manner in the MARPOL Annex VI amendments concerning energy efficiency requirements. Mr. Chairman, the Chinese delegation would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our position as follows:

.1 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the fundamental basis and main channel for international cooperation in addressing the issue of climate change, and the Principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibility it established becomes the basic principle for international community to commonly address climate change, therefore, should be strictly abided by. This is not only the consistent position of China, but also the one upheld by many developing countries.

.2 The effort by the international shipping community in addressing the issue

of climate change is an integral part of the international cooperation, which should not only take into account the uniqueness and common practice of the international shipping, but also comply with the common but differentiated responsibility principle.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 20, page 2

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.3 The following serious concerns were still exist during the discussion and adoption of the MARPOL Annex VI amendments, therefore, the Chinese delegation would like to make a reservation and oppose the adoption of the amendments.

Firstly, the EEDI formula is not yet mature. Though following many years of discussions, a considerable number of technical issues have not been properly resolved in the EEDI regulations. As demonstrated in many submissions to this session of the MEPC, agreements have not been reached on important technical issues including the baseline, ship types, reduction factors and verification etc., therefore further studies are needed. If these issues could not be properly addressed, the implementation of the EEDI regulations will have adverse impact on the international shipping. Secondly, the amendments do not reflect the common but differentiated responsibility principle, and violate the common understanding and core principle of the international community in addressing the issue of climate change. This will impact and impede IMO to make further contribution to the GHG issue in the future. This will also constitute a bad precedence for the international community, adversely impacting the correct direction for international cooperation within the UNFCCC. Lastly, there are largely divergent views regarding whether or not the amendments should be included in MARPOL Annexes, and adopted at this session of the MEPC. Moreover, the specific articles in the amendments are also under disputes. Despite of this fact, the amendments were adopted in the absence of consensus, which has resulted in the division among the IMO Member States. In the light of the above, the Chinese delegation opposes the adoption of this amendment and in no position to acknowledge and accept the amendment. In conclusion, this delegation believes that IMO will continue the discussion of the GHG issue in the successive session of the MEPC, we hope that IMO and Member States spare no effort to look for solutions to reflect the common but differentiated responsibility principle, in particular on matters relating to the technology transfer, capacity building and financial support to the developing countries by the developed countries. In its future discussions on market-based measures, China hopes that IMO will duly consider the common but differentiated responsibility principle, so that this principle would be fully reflected in its market-based measures. Statement by the delegation of India The Indian delegation shares the sentiments expressed by the delegation of China, especially regarding the requirement of applicability of CBDR principle. In particular, India would like to regret the adoption of amendment to MARPOL Annex VI through a vote, even though India is not yet a Party to the Convention. The urgency of adopting the amendments at this session is not understood, especially when several developing countries have voiced their reservations on several aspects of the amendments including the EEDI formula which is not mature for adoption, and also for getting the mandates from the respective Government. It may also be worthwhile to draw the attention of the Committee to the Doha Round of negotiations at the WTO which have not yet concluded since last 10 years, where efforts are continuing for consensus building. The procedure adopted by the MEPC will set a wrong precedence not only for the IMO but also in other multilateral organizations.

Statement by the delegation of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia would like to associate itself with the statement of China and would like to highlight the reason for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's rejection of the amendment included in document MEPC 62/WP.11/Add.1/Rev.1 dated 15 July 2011, which can be summarized as follows:

.1 there are issues with the maturity of the EEDI; .2 the inconsistency of the amendment with the main purpose of

MARPOL 73/78 Convention. The convention was for the prevention of pollution into the marine environment. Greenhouse gases are not classified by the UN as pollutants;

.3 lack of a mechanism to ensure measurable, reportable and verifiable

technology transfer to developing county parties; and .4 the absence of reference to the principle of CBDR.

Finally, it unfortunate that the IMO has chosen not to follow the example of ICAO to adopt matters dealing with climate change by consensus and using the principles of the UNFCCC, especially the principle of CBDR. Statement by the delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Our delegation thanks all countries and you in particular for the time and effort dedicated to tackling the complexities relating to the adoption of amendments to MARPOL Annex VI. However, in view of the result reached, which has clearly been characterized by a lack of consensus, we express our reservations concerning the decision adopted, being still of the opinion that there are insufficient references or elements in the approved texts that are conducive to the principles continuously maintained and defended by our country, namely the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and recognition of the Kyoto proposals in keeping with the spirit of progress already been achieved in the context of negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Through this statement, we are echoing the views expressed by the delegations of Brazil, China, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, India and Cuba, among others, and we request that our reservation is recorded in the report of the meeting. Statement by the observer of the Pacific Environment This is Pacific Environment's first intervention, so we would like to thank the IMO, MEPC and its distinguished delegates for welcoming our participation as well as congratulate you Mr. Chairman on your re-election. Currently, Arctic Indigenous peoples are on the front lines of climate change. Indigenous peoples are faced with problems such as receding sea ice which will bring increased shipping into our traditional waters. Greenhouse gases and air emissions will only continue to compound the already devastating impacts of climate change. For example, due to the reduction in sea ice Indigenous hunters are being forced to go further and further off shore to gain access to traditional foods, increasing the risks tremendously. Two months ago in New York more than 1400 Indigenous people gathered at the 10th session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples Issues where there was much discussion on the implementation of the Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 20, page 4

The final report from the meeting was released last week and included in the final recommendations was a call on the IMO to implement the UN DRIP and to begin including Indigenous participation in these important proceedings which will have a great impact on Indigenous Peoples globally. We cannot deny the dangers of climate change on Indigenous Peoples and their human rights. Climate change threatens traditional food systems and ability to practice spiritual ceremonies, forces removals from traditional home lands and territories, and creates disproportionate health impacts on Indigenous Peoples. I myself am from a traditional Indigenous village located in the Arctic. In our traditional language there is not a way to separate the word environment from the word peoples – it is one in the same. Indigenous cultures are inextricably linked with the oceans and the environment. Distinguished delegates, I call upon us to remember in our future deliberations over the next year, that we ourselves are not the owners of the oceans but instead we are the guardians of it, hopefully keeping it safe not only for ourselves but for future generations to come. Statement by the observer of the Clean Shipping Coalition The EEDI is about setting energy efficiency standards for a leading global industry which will reduce long-term costs and environmental impacts. When setting fuel efficiency standards in other transport modes, industry has invariably resisted vehemently. To its great credit, the shipping industry is largely onboard with the EEDI. Ironically, the difficulty here has not been with industry, nor has any lack of technology been a problem, nor has it been about differences in levels of development between developed and developing countries - ships built in developing countries are some of the most advanced and innovative. Rather the difficulty has been about the political positions of some in other UN forums, and the misconception of others that consensus on its own is a worthy objective. These concerns, regrettably, have seriously undermined the effectiveness of the world's first globally binding climate change initiative. During the almost 7 year phase-in period of EEDI, shipping GHG emissions, by the Organization's own estimates, will have almost doubled to 6% of global emissions. Environmental NGOs supported this process from the beginning in the belief that the potential for improvements in ship efficiency is significant particularly as many measures can be taken at zero or low cost to industry. Those possibilities risk being set aside with this decision. If there is a rush to have all new ships take advantage of the waiver by flagging them with obliging registries, this will have enormous implications for the administration of all sorts of IMO rules and conventions, endangering both the environment and seafarer safety. The CSC therefore calls on all enlightened ship-owners to put the question of delay aside and implement immediately the EEDI as good business sense and sound environmental practice. We call on the European Union to embrace the EEDI as an effective instrument to complement other measures it is now considering. We call on shippers, the logistics industry and harbours to use the EEDI when taking decisions on chartering and when setting port dues. Mr. Chairman, as difficult as today's decision seems to have been, it is only IMOs' first step to address shipping's climate change impact. A package of additional market-based and operational measures such as emissions trading, a levy, speed limits and mandatory cuts is urgently needed to properly address the rapidly growing emissions from shipping. This work on existing ships is almost in its 15th year and needs to be accelerated urgently.

ANNEX 2

ECOLOGICAL, SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND SCIENTIFIC ATTRIBUTES OF THE STRAIT OF BONIFACIO PSSA*

1 Ecological criteria 1.1 The ecological significance of the Strait of Bonifacio region was internationally recognized when it was granted the status of specially protected area of Mediterranean importance (SPAMI) at the sixteenth session of the Conference of Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution, which took place from 3 to 5 November 2009 in Marrakesh. 1.2 The ecological significance of the French part of the Strait of Bonifacio is recognized by a number of official listings involving a total of 104,000 ha of mainly marine environment:

- Listing as a nature reserve by a decree of 23 September 1999 (80,000 ha); - Listing as a Natura 2000 site, these being a network of European Union areas

which, owing to their great environmental value, need the protection of States:

- a special protection area under directive No. 79/409/EEC (Birds), "Lavezzi Islands, Strait of Bonifacio", covering 98, 941 ha, designated by inter-ministerial decree of 30 October 2008;

- three sites of Community importance under directive 92/43/EEC (Habitat)

concerning the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora:

Strait of Bonifacio, Monk Islands (94, 612 ha); Cerbical Islands and coastal strip (3,698 ha); Pertusato/Bonifacio plateau and Lavezzi Islands (6,071 ha).

1.3 The ecological significance of the Italian part of the Strait of Bonifacio is recognized by several listings, as follows:

Listings of Natura 2000 sites, as follows:

Six special protection areas under directive No. 79/409/EEC (Birds):

Isola Asinara (9,669 ha) Isola Piana – Golfo dell'Asinara (399 ha) Stagno di Pilo, Casaraccio e Saline di Stintino (1,290 ha) Arcipelago La Maddalena (20,955 ha) Isole del Nord-Est tra Capo Ceraso e Stagno di San Teodoro (18,174 ha) Capo Figari, Cala Sabina, Punta Canigione e Isola Figarolo (4,053 ha)

Twelve sites of Community significance under directive No. 92/43/EEC (Habitat), in connection with the conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora:

Coste e Isolette a Nord Ovest della Sardegna (3, 731 ha) Isola Asinara (9,669 ha) Isola Piana (510 ha) Stagno di Pilo e di Casaraccio (1,879 ha) Stagno e ginepreto di Platamona (1,618 ha) Foci del Coghinas (2, 267 ha) Isola Rossa – Costa Paradiso (5,409 ha) Monte Russu (1,971 ha) Capo Testa (1,217 ha) Arcipelago La Maddalena (20,955 ha) Isola Tavolara, Molara e Molarotto (3,764 ha) Capo Figari e Isola Figarolo (851 ha).

1.4 The European Commission approved the above-mentioned list of sites of Community importance by its decision of 22 December 2009 in relation to the Mediterranean biogeographical region enforceable under Directive No. 92/43/EEC. 1.5 The following information is taken from the declaration forms of the Natura 2000 sites mentioned above and from the biological evaluation of the Strait of Bonifacio nature reserve for the 2007-2011 management plan. 1.6 This sector is also covered by the Pelagos Agreement for the Creation of a Mediterranean Sanctuary for Marine Mammals, signed in Rome on 25 November 1999 by France, Italy and the Principality of Monaco. The aim of the agreement is to maintain a level of conservation beneficial to marine mammal populations, and to that end monitor the cetacean populations, strengthen the application of the existing external legislation for certain types of fishing and to reduce pollution, regulate the numbers of tourists who come to observe cetaceans, and improve the information provided for the public. The bottlenose dolphin is a regular visitor to the edges of this area. 1.7 The exceptional ecological wealth of the area comprises a wide range of marine environments, including:

- inclines and rocky shallows harbouring varied fauna and flora; - well preserved Posidonia beds; - near Figari, a rare estuary system in which areas emerge at low tide on the

island.

1.8 Species and habitats whose rarity or significance are recognized at national, Community or international level find the environmental conditions ideal here. Uniqueness or rarity 1.9 The Strait of Bonifacio area contains 37 per cent of species of Mediterranean importance (SPAMI Annex II and III, Barcelona Convention). The flora includes some 15 endemic species (Corsican or Corsican-Sardinian or Corsican/Sardinian/ Balearic), with one endemic to the island of Lavezzu. 1.10 The area contains between 40 and 50 per cent of the sites for Silene velutina, a small endemic flower whose distribution is limited to the extreme south of Corsica and the north of Sardinia. Another protected plant belonging to the first rank in terms of floral heritage is Limonium lambinonii, which is endemic to Lavezzu island. 1.11 The leatherback turtle has not been seen here since the 1960s, but the loggerhead turtle has been spotted more regularly in the Strait of Bonifacio in the past decade. In October 2001 its nests were even discovered on the beaches of Palombaggia, south of the Cerbicale archipelago. 1.12 While the alga Goniolothon byssoides is difficult not to notice, sightings are very rare. It appears to be vulnerable, given the small number of sites where it can be found. Also, its pads detach very easily, making it highly vulnerable to trampling by fishermen and swimmers (Boudouresque et al., 1990). Verlaque (1991) noted its presence around the Lavezzi Islands. Critical habitat 1.13 This area offers great potential for the conservation of a large number of nationally important habitats and species. Certain species (the European shag, the giant limpet Patella ferruginea) are present in numbers which provide the nucleus of genetically stable populations that may be considered source populations capable of providing the starting point for colonization (natural or artificial) of potential habitats, to differing degrees, depending on the manner in which the larvae and individual representatives of those species are distributed. This area of the Strait of Bonifacio is thus of vital importance for declining populations or small sub-populations of species. For example, conservation of the national gene pool of threatened meta-populations of species such as the giant limpet could allow it to be reintroduced into areas of the Mediterranean where it is now extinct. 1.14 The care of this area is also very important to marine avifauna. This is a major site for the European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis aristotelis) and for sizeable numbers of Cory's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea). The Strait of Bonifacio is also a main point for the passage, roosting and feeding of the Yelkouan shearwater. The whole area is a feeding ground for these species. 1.15 The European shag population does not exceed 10,000 pairs across the whole of its small area of distribution in the Mediterranean. The Strait of Bonifacio has high priority in the conservation of this species. In 2001, the nesting population of the Strait of Bonifacio represented more than 50 per cent of the French population and 7 per cent of the world population. The main problems for this species are disturbance to nesting sites, accidental capture during small-scale fishing and the disappearance of habitats owing to the expansion of tourism.

1.16 The nesting population of Cory's shearwater accounts for 40 per cent of the national nesting total. With 345 pairs, the Lavezzu island colony is the most numerous in France. This species is on the decline owing to the introduction of allocthonous species (dogs, cats and rats), the removal of eggs from certain colonies and the development of tourism, which disturbs colonies and destroys habitat. 1.17 With around 200 nesting pairs within the perimeter of the area, the population of the highly unobtrusive storm petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus) represents around one third of the French Mediterranean population and between 15 and 18 per cent of the French population including Atlantic birds. Europe's smallest marine bird (15 cm) is in steep decline in the Mediterranean, mainly owing to the introduction of predators such as the black rat (Rattus rattus). The colonies are now highly localized and concentrated, making them very vulnerable. Dependency 1.18 The main ecosystems of the Strait of Bonifacio area, whether deep-sea or coastal, are closely interconnected: pelagic open-water systems, gulfs, intertidal zone, supralittoral environments, islets and lagoons. 1.19 Being an open system, the marine environment does not experience fragmentation of habitats to the same degree as the land environment. In the Strait of Bonifacio the long-protected areas of the Lavezzi, the fish confinement areas and the decreed biotopes of the Monk and Bruzzi islands shelter balanced populations which embrace all age-groups and assure the reproduction of larvae (fish, crustaceans, ...) and their diffusion to more recently established nature reserves. Plankton production and the gathering of animal larvae condition the introduction of both marine and littoral trophic chains. By virtue of its geographical position and the existence of violent currents which facilitate larva distribution, the Strait of Bonifacio could play a not inconsiderable role in coastal fishing management in the north-western Mediterranean. 1.20 While the plankton-eating organisms are an indispensable resource for large pelagic species, seriolae and tuna, not to mention cetaceans (particularly bottlenose dolphins), they are also attractive to the marine birds present (European shag, Cory's shearwater, seagulls). Representativeness 1.21 Beds of Posidonia oceanica, high-priority protected habitats, are widely represented. A Posidonia bed is a very valuable ecosystem from the biodiversity point of view, and is also very important to fishing, coastal protection and the enrichment of certain other coastal ecosystems. It is an excellent indicator of the overall quality of the natural environment. In many parts of the Mediterranean, it has been seriously affected by human activities, and some beds are in serious decline. Beds of Posidonia oceanica are characteristic of the infralittoral stage in the Mediterranean. Those in the Strait of Bonifacio area cover more than 5,000 ha and are in excellent condition. They play a leading role in the area's productivity and provide sites for breeding, spawning and raising young. 1.22 The alga Lithophyllum lichenoides found in belts in the intertidal zone is included in annex I of the "Habitat" directive. This species is well represented along the battered granite and limestone coasts of the Strait of Bonifacio. The oldest and largest belts are found along the cliffs at Bonifacio and in the Lavezzi Islands.

1.23 Like other algae typical of sheltered sites in the infralittoral stage, certain types of Cystoseira have become rare because its habitat is suffering from pollution or eutrophication or has been destroyed by coastal management. Overgrazing by sea urchins, whose predators have been partially eliminated by man, also has to be taken into account. The Cystoseira are very well represented in the strait and certain species such as C. Funkii are seen on rare occasions at near-surface depths (Ballesteros & Pineda, 2003). Diversity 1.24 The number of species recorded to date in the Strait of Bonifacio is 1,745. Among the 977 species of fauna are 18 mammals, 165 birds, seven reptiles, two amphibians, 187 fish, 11 protochordates, 13 echinoderms, 262 insects, 11 arachnids, six bryozoans, 103 crustaceans, 143 molluscs, seven annelids, 23 cnidarians and 19 spongarians. 1.25 Considering the faunistic taxons as a whole, it should be noted that:

- Twenty-three animal species are of Community significance. Care of this area is particularly important for two amphibians (Discoglossus sardus and Hylaarborea sarda), the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), chiroptera, marine molluscs, the fish Aphanius fasciatus, the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta, the gecko Phyllodactylus europaeus, the lizards Podarcis tiliguerta and Lacertabedriagae and the snake Coluber viridiflavus. Among the animal species of Community significance whose capture in natural surroundings and cultivation can be managed, only the red coral Corallium rubrum, can be and is being cultivated;

- Seventy-seven taxons are listed in the "Birds" directive (all annexes combined).

Among these birds are 16 species nesting in the area (including 10 from annex I), 24 regular migrants, 30 occasional migrants and five accidental migrants;

- The taxons strictly protected under the Berne Convention (annex II) amount

to 139, with 70 other species being considered as protected species whose exploitation must be regulated (annex III);

- Three migratory species are in danger of extinction, namely the Audouin's gull

Larus audouinii and the loggerhead and leatherback turtles Caretta caretta and Demochelys coriacea, which require strict protection under annex I of the Bonn Convention. Sixty-seven other species (reptiles, mammals and birds) are considered to be in a poor state of conservation under that convention. All these species are also listed under the Berne Convention;

- Thirty-seven rare species are listed in the three annexes of the Convention on

International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Washington Convention), for example the peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus, the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta, the bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncates, and Hermann's Tortoise (Testudo hermanii);

- Thirty-three species are identified as endangered or threatened under the

Barcelona Protocol concerning specially protected areas of Mediterranean importance (SPAMI) (annex II) and 14 as requiring control over their exploitation. These species are also listed in the annexes to the Berne Convention. Among the exploited species, we note two large fish: the swordfish Xiphias gladius and the red tuna Thunnus thynnus;

- There are 148 wildlife taxons protected at national level, of which the great majority comprises birds (121 species). Nineteen of these nest in the Strait of Bonifacio area. Thirteen mammals present are protected at national level: seven cetaceans, four bats, the hedgehog Ericeanus europeus italicus and the weasel Mustella nivalis corsicana. Also protected are four land reptiles, two amphibians, two marine turtles and one fish, namely the Mediterranean shad (Alosa fallax nilotica). Among the marine species the needle-spined sea urchin Centrostephanus longispinus, the Mediterranean slipper lobster Scyllarides latus, the pen shell Pinna nobilis and the limpet Patella ferruginea are protected;

- In the context of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red

List, the leatherback turtle Demochelys coriacea, observed only a few times in the past 50 years, is classified as critically endangered and four species, the fin whale Balaenoptera physalus, the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta, the dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus and the common seabream Pagrus pagrus, as endangered. Nine species are considered vulnerable, i.e. as facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. These include the gecko Phyllodactus europaeus, the long-fingered bat Myotis capaccini and certain threatened cartilaginous fish: the great white shark Carcharodon carcharias, the basking shark Cetorhinus maximus, the manta ray Mobula mobular, the liver-oil shark Galeorhinus galeus, and the angel shark Squatina squatina. Lastly, the status of 161 species is considered to be of concern (10 mammals, 143 birds, one amphibian, two reptiles and four fish);

- Seventy species feature in the red lists of the French Natural History Museum in

Paris. The endangered species number 13 including the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta and the Mediterranean slipper lobster Scyllarides latus. The following are considered to be vulnerable in France: the pen shell Pinna nobilis, the limpet Patella ferruginea, the brown meagre Sciaena umbra and the nursehound Scyliorhinus stellaris.

1.26 Among the floral taxons:

- Eight are included in annex I of the Berne Convention, including Silene velutina and Posidonia oceanica;

- Five algae are also included in SPAMI Annex III;

- Fifteen plant species are protected at national level, including 12 terrestrial species. The marine species include Posidonia oceanica and another marine phanerogam, namely the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa, which is also well represented in the Strait of Bonifacio;

- Four species are considered to be vulnerable by the IUCN: Helicodiceros

muscivorus, Drimia fugax, Nananthea perpusilla and Silene velutina. They all enjoy protected status.

1.27 The diversity and complementarity found among the various littoral ecological compartments can be considered a major asset for this area. There are around fifty elementary habitats, with ecosystems ranging from coastal scrub to salt grass and from lagoons to the depths of the circalittoral zone.

1.28 The coastal, littoral and salty habitats, such as the mobile and fixed dunes of the Mediterranean shores where Crucianella maritima is found, and halophilous scrub, conceal all the floral taxons of major heritage importance. 1.29 At sea, the major "reefs" type of habitat brings together rocky habitats of the mediolitteral zone as well as all the fauna and flora of the intertidal zone. Biocoenoses of photophilous algae and coral are also integrated into this major type of habitat. All the types of gorgonia, cystoseira and the large bryozoans are also important elements of the area's rich heritage and require special protection against the impact of underwater activities and of global changes relating to rise in sea temperature. Productivity 1.30 The large expanse of sea and strong currents, as well as the richness of the fish stocks, widely recognized by Mediterranean ichthyologists, give this protected marine area a major role in the dispersion of larvae throughout the western Mediterranean. That role is essential for the threatened species in a good state of preservation in the Strait of Bonifacio, such as the dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus, but also for other species of importance in the heritage and fishing contexts. Spawning or breeding grounds 1.31 The waters of the lagoon habitats (Pisciu Cane, Testarella and Ventilègne), rich in nutritive salts carried from the drainage basins across which they pass, stimulate the growth of lagoon phytoplankton. These lagoons nourish and shelter many marine species. The dense plant growth, adapted to the complementary influences of sea and land, is home to many aquatic and avian species. These biotopes provide ideal shelter for nesting and reproduction and are an important source of food. Yellow-legged gulls, grey herons, little egrets and even young ospreys are regularly observed there. The mosaic of vegetation and the presence of smooth stretches of standing water make it possible for certain wintering or migrating anatidae to come here on an irregular basis (mallard ducks, pintails, Northern shovellers, common teals and garganeys ...), as well as migrating shorebirds (common snipes, jack snipes, sandpipers, black-tailed godwits, little stints). Mallards, moorhens and water rails occasionally nest on Testarella lake. As mentioned above, the Posidonia beds play a major role in the area's productivity and provide areas for breeding, spawning and the raising of young. Fragility 1.32 Many habitats are important, in terms of heritage, by virtue of their representativity in the Mediterranean context and the direct and indirect threats they face. 1.33 For 15,000 years man has been exerting his influence as an integral part of the ecological system of the Strait of Bonifacio. Man-induced factors (sample-captures, alteration or destruction of habitat, disturbances, introduction of species...), whether old or more recent, direct or indirect, are exerting an increasing impact as methods of navigation and sampling techniques evolve. Those factors are responsible for the disappearance of the monk seal (Monachus monachus) and the reduced populations of the limpet Patella ferruginea, a process which has been affecting that mollusc since prehistoric times, and the grouper Epinephelus marginatus for 30 years. 1.34 It is also quite clear that climate change, especially the increases in air and sea temperatures, as well as fishing activities across the Mediterranean, is exerting an ever increasing influence on the overall functioning of the Strait of Bonifacio.

1.35 Increase in seawater temperature triggers significant changes in the ways that pelagic communities (tropicalization of plankton production) or benthic communities function in the north-west Mediterranean. It benefits tropical species, such as the yellowmouth barracuda Sphyraena viridensis, to the detriment of certain Mediterranean species that cannot support the rise in temperature. In this regard, the spectacular rise in mortality rates since 1998 among gorgonias is cause for concern. 1.36 Man-induced activities also generate cascade effects. Such occurrences may be confined to the territory of a protected marine area or affect its periphery. Thus, the destabilization of Posidonia oceanica owing to increased numbers of unregulated anchorages or sediment erosion is leading to a reduction in the populations of species associated with this habitat, in particular the pen shell Pinna nobilis. Failure to manage household waste and the existence of open-air public landfill sites for over 30 years have brought about an increase in the population of yellow-legged gulls (Larus cachinnans) and a serious deterioration in the micro-insular systems of southern Corsica (destabilization of vegetation by the action of nitro-phosphates on floristic corteges, and inter-species competition between the very rare Audouin's gull (Larus audouinii) and the yellow-legged gull, to the latter's advantage). 1.37 Waste from purification plants undergoing repair is also likely to affect the existing habitats. Large-scale recreational use of the location also produces effluent and larger waste products, particularly plastic bags, which become mixed in with schools of jellyfish and are then consumed by loggerhead turtles and bottlenose dolphins, causing obstruction of their digestive systems. 1.38 The habitat known as "silty sands in sheltered areas (Mediterranean) biocoenosis" in the large creeks and shallow bays of Lavezzi, Cavallu, Ventilegne, Santa Manza, Porto Novo and Rondinara remain under the influence of the nutrients and pollutants which arrive from the drainage basins, bringing the risk of hypoxia or anoxia owing to the low water renewal rate. This habitat can also prove to be a good indicator of anthropization level in the drainage basins themselves. 1.39 The habitats of submerged or semi-submerged sea caves are extremely sensitive to the impact of man. The Sdragonato cave and undersea caves used in diving are areas of particular sensitivity. 1.40 In France, the belts of Lithophyllum lichenoides have receded in polluted areas. The situation of the algal limestone belts, like that of L. Lichenoides at the mediolittoral level, and their porous structure, makes these formations highly vulnerable to surface pollution by effluents, oily film on the water and other agents. The loss of even a little salinity in the water prevents them from forming. There could also be a threat from phosphate ions and detergents (LABOREL, unpublished, in Boudouresque et al., 1990). A belt appears to take an exceptionally long time to build up (several centuries) and it is imperative to protect the existing ones (Boudouresque et al., 1990). 2 Scientific and educational criteria 2.1 Baseline for monitoring studies 2.1.1 In considering the importance of preserving the habitats and meta-populations mentioned above, their vulnerability must be assessed with caution. Long-term observation of reliable scientific indicators will help distinguish between natural cycles and genuine man-induced disturbances.

2.1.2 This area can also play a role in the transfer of ecological engineering in relation to sustainable resource management. The length of time that protection measures have been in place in southern Corsica, differences in regulations and hence in the pressures from fishing activities inside this protected area in Corsica and in Sardinia, the conservation of reference areas (areas of strict protection) and finally the long-standing acquisition of reliable scientific data are factors which can be used in establishing sustainable development models for Mediterranean coastal areas.

ANNEX 3

VULNERABILITY TO DAMAGE BY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ACTIVITIES* 1 Natural factors 1.1 Hydrographical 1.1.1 The hydrographical conditions in the Strait of Bonifacio are strongly influenced by the region's landscape and climate. In particular, there are frequent very strong currents (3-4 knots) largely determined by the winds. These strong currents have already, on two occasions, caused the South Lavezzi signalling buoy to shift. They derive from cyclonic and anti-cyclonic conditions and are responsible for surface changes among the Tyrrhenian and Algero-Provencal water masses. Movements originating in the Atlantic and Tyrrhenian systems, being less subject to the vagaries of the weather where water masses of permanent density are concerned, also affect the bathymetric layer between 50 and 100 m. This situation explains (Romano, 2004), at least for surface waters, the existence of strong currents, especially as the strait between Corsica and Sardinia is characterized by a rise in depths. 1.1.2 The tides are semidiurnal with diurnal inequality, with a tidal range of less than 0.5 m. 1.2 Meteorological 1.2.1 Having a sub-humid Mediterranean climate, with temperate winters, the Strait of Bonifacio region is also particularly windy. Data recorded by the Pertusato semaphore station on the Bonifacio plateau show that the wind blows on 328 days per year (171 days of wind >16 m/s or 57.6 km/h). There is high frequency of winds of a speed faster than 8 m/s, almost exclusively from two directions: west (280°) and east (80°). 1.2.2 Given the hydrographical, topographical and meteorological conditions (shoals, strong winds and currents), the major risk to the Strait of Bonifacio area relates to accidental pollution from all forms of navigation in the Strait itself (several merchant ships have sunk in the past 30 years), and also on its periphery. The risk of collision with a bottlenose dolphin is also a threat identified by the Pelagos sanctuary for Mediterranean marine mammals. 2 Vessel Traffic characteristics 2.1 In 2009, Bonifacio Trafic (the Franco-Italian service) received 2,984 mandatory ship reports. Among them were 180 abnormalities (breaches of IMO Assembly resolution A.766(18)) of which 108 were for transport of dangerous goods, amounting to 147,013 tonnes (141,867 tonnes in 2008). The offences included 55 cases of sending a mandatory report after entering the system, 19 relating to ships found to be following a route that was not recommended (down by 33% on 2008) and 108 relating to ships carrying dangerous goods (+9%).

2.2 In 2009 a total of 157 ships carrying dangerous goods passed through the Strait of Bonifacio:

- 70 container ships; - 61 ro-ro ships; - 13 bulk carriers; - five chemical carriers; - three oil tankers; - three gas tankers; - two ferries.

2.3 The 2,984 vessels which navigated in the Strait of Bonifacio in 2009 were distributed as follows:

European Union Italy 831; France 371; Malta 251; Netherlands 152; Portugal 78; United Kingdom 67; Cyprus 50. Non-EU Turkey 100; Antigua 183; Bahamas 165; Panama 143.

2.4 The status that the Strait of Bonifacio enjoys as an international strait and the provisions of IMO resolution A.766(18) contribute to making it, although it is apart from the major shipping routes (3,000 ships per year) and its dangerousness is well known, an area in which the coastal authorities are confined to the role of spectator, waiting for a maritime accident to happen.

ANNEX 4

ASSOCIATED PROTECTIVE MEASURE FOR THE STRAIT OF BONIFACIO PSSA Description of the Area The Strait of Bonifacio separates the Italian island of Sardinia from the French island of Corsica; they are only 11 km apart. The Strait takes its name from Bonifacio, the southernmost town of Corsica. It enables passage from the Sea of Sardinia in the west to the Tyrrhenian Sea in the east. Its width varies from eight to ten nautical miles and its maximum depth is 100 m. At the eastern end lies the Italian archipelago of La Maddalena, and Cavallo island and the Lavezzi Islands, belonging to France. This is a sensitive area for navigation. In the northern part of the Strait, ships have to avoid the reefs of Perduto and the Lavezzi Islands, while in the south lie the Sardinian islands of Razzoli and Persa. Navigation is possible along a narrow three-mile wide stretch and ships are asked to take a recommended route wide just over one mile. Recommendation on navigation through the Strait of Bonifacio* 1 Use of ships' routeing Vessels navigating in the Strait shall exercise full diligence and regard for the requirements of the existing recommended two-way route in the Strait of Bonifacio. Due to the narrowness of the Strait, masters of vessels shall ensure that an appropriate monitoring of the ship's route is done on board in order to avoid groundings and collisions. 2 Ship reporting and navigation information Ships of 300 GT and over entering the Strait shall participate in the mandatory ship reporting system (BONIFREP) established by the competent authorities as described in IMO's publication on Ships' Routeing (Section G I/8). 3 Pilotage Masters of vessels passing through the Strait are recommended to avail themselves of the services of a qualified pilot. 3.1 Categories of ships concerned Ships for which the IMO Assembly recommends in its resolution A.766(18) of 17 November 1993 to Governments to prohibit or at least strongly discourage the transit in the Strait of Bonifacio: laden oil tankers and ships carrying dangerous chemicals or substances in bulk, as listed in the annex to resolution MEPC.49(31) adopted on 4 July 1991.

3.2 Description of the applicable procedure for requesting a pilot Vessels wishing to order a Bonifacio Strait pilot should, as much as possible, send by e-mail or by fax the following information to the service named "Bonifacio Strait pilotage":

- ship's name and call sign; - type of vessel and gross tonnage; - draught; - destination port/name and address of the local agent; - boarding position and ETA.

24 hours prior to arrival, vessels should inform or confirm their ETA to the head office of the Bonifacio Strait pilotage service. Once on Bonifacio Strait road, vessels should confirm their ETA 2 hours prior to arrival calling "Bonifacio Traffic" on VHF 10. 3.3 Description of the pilotage service The pilotage area covers the Strait and its approaches. Usually the vessels entering the Strait board their pilots out of the "BONIFREP" zone. The boarding positions are the following (WGS 84):

Eastern boarding position: 41° 24 .80 N 009° 30 .00 E; Western boarding position: 41° 17 .28 N 008° 58 .50 E.

4.1 Relevant rules and regulations in force in the area The Strait of Bonifacio falls into the category of "Straits used for international navigation" regulated by the "United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea" (UNCLOS) better known as the Montego Bay Convention (10 December 1982). The maritime traffic is represented mainly by merchant ships that cross the Strait along east-west direction (several dozens of ships per day). Considering the traffic that occurs in the direction north-south, it concerns mainly passenger ships (approximately ten daily connections) is very intense and growing during the summer, especially between Bonifacio (Corsica) and Santa Teresa di Gallura (Sardinia). In addition, there are about 5,000 pleasure craft crossing this area during the summer season. Regulation applied to navigation on the Strait of Bonifacio is based on resolution A.766(18) adopted in 1993 by IMO. This text urges ships carrying hazardous materials to avoid along this seaway. It has been complemented by circulars of IMO SN/Circ.198 and 201 (26 May 1998) concerning "routeing measures other than traffic separation schemes" and "mandatory ship reporting systems" applicable to the Bouches of Bonifacio from 1 December 1998 at 00:00 a.m. France and Italy have implemented these provisions through the establishment of the rule "Bonifacio Trafic", that represents a more restrictive device; inasmuch as the French and Italian ships carrying hazardous materials are banned entirely from transit of the "Bouches of Bonifacio".

Page 258: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 22, page 17

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

For this reason, in 1993, both Italy, with the Decree of 26 February 1993 of the Italian Ministry of Merchant Marine, and France, by ordinance of 15 February of the Prefecture of Toulon, have banned the transit of tankers flying Italian or French flag that carrying hydrocarbons and other hazardous and noxious substances, as defined by international conventions in force in both countries1. On the basis of these decrees, the prohibition of navigation in the Strait does not apply to merchant ships flying flags of third countries and to Italian and French ships empty or those that carry different cargoes, which, even if properly ballasted, however represent an environmental risk factor in case of accident for the presence of fuel in their tanks. This ban has led to a reduction of marine traffic, but at the same time, it leaves the possible passage of ships flying other flags and often these ships are in unsafe conditions (especially the lack of double hull or similar technologies) and poor maintenance. Moreover, the arrêté n° 84/98 of 3 November 1998 of the Prefecture Maritime of Toulon2 (amended by the arrêté 56/2003 of the Prefecture Maritime of Toulon) disciplines the navigation in the Strait of Bonifacio to prevent accidental episodes of marine pollution. It institutes areas of caution at the extreme of bearings recommended double sense of movement, and the creation of the system of monitoring of ships from a radius of 20 miles from the Strait of Bonifacio. In parallel, the Decree of Italian Ministry of Transport and Navigation on the organization of traffic in the Bonifacio's Strait establishes the same procedures contained in the Decree n° 84/98. Furthermore, a technical agreement between Italy and France to implement the reporting system of the ships in the Bouches of Bonifacio (Bonifacio Trafic) was signed in Rome on 3 June 1999. Moreover, in order to restrict dangerous maritime traffic through Bonifacio Strait, it was drawn up in Italy the "Accordo volontario per l'attuazione di una serie di interventi finalizzati al conseguimento di più elevati standard di sicurezza ambientale in materia di trasporti marittimi di sostanze pericolose" (Voluntary agreement to carrying out a series of interventions aimed at the achievement of higher security environmental standards concerning the maritime transport of dangerous substances), signed by the Italian Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea, by the Italian Ministry of Transportation and Navigation, by Confindustria, by Assoporti, by some environmental organizations and by unions (Rome, 1 June 2001).

Inter alia, the sixth article of the agreement foresaw the commitment by companies to use from 1 July 2001 ships carrying dangerous substances listed in Annexes I and II of MARPOL 73/78 solely based on contracts that explicitly exclude the transit in the Strait of Bonifacio, against a number of other compensations by government, including the engagement in an international venue for the encouragement of a PSSA in the Strait of Bonifacio.

1 Particularly, the Decree n°1/93 (signed in Toulon on 15 February 1993) of the Prefecture maritime de la

Mediterranée, applicable only to French ships, prohibits in the Bouches of Bonifacio the circulation of tankers that carrying hydrocarbon and ships carrying hazardous or toxic materials. The annex of the Decree lists the hydrocarbons and the substances in question, in reference to the MARPOL Convention. At the same time, the Decree of the Italian merchant marine of 26 February 1993 prohibits the movement of Italian tanker carrying hydrocarbon and ships carrying hazardous or toxic materials.

2 Arrêté Prefectoral n. 84/94 del 3 novembre 1998 della Prefettura Marittima di Tolone – "Réglementant la navigation dans le Strait of Bonifacio en vue de prévenir les pollution marines accidentelles".

Particularly, the sixth article of the Voluntary Agreement provides that:

"6.1 – Confindustria and the interested industrial sectors undertake to promote immediately the insertion in the charter party for the use of ships carrying dangerous substances listed in Annexes I and II of MARPOL 73/78 of clauses that expressly exclude the transit in the Strait of Bonifacio. 6.2 – From 1 July 2001, Confindustria and the interested industrial sectors, also on behalf of firms and associated companies, undertake to use ships carrying dangerous substances listed in Annexes I and II of MARPOL 73/78 solely based on contracts that explicitly exclude the transit in the Strait of Bonifacio 6.3 – The government engages to act in all EU and international venues to achieve the elimination of dangerous substances traffic in the Strait of Bonifacio, starting by defining by IMO the Strait of Bonifacio as Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA). Moreover, the government engages to promote every type of voluntary adherence of the EU member and candidate states to the above-mentioned elimination of dangerous substances traffic in the Strait of Bonifacio."

In the end, by the Decree of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport of 29 July 2008 "definition of the control of maritime traffic area in the Bouches of Bonifacio and activation of the relevant control centre at the Harbour Office of La Maddalena", was activated the centre VTS (Vessel Traffic Services) of the Bouches of Bonifacio, whose international name is "Bonifacio Trafic" and whose headquarters is located at the area Guardia Vecchia, under the authority of the Harbour Office – Coast Guard of La Maddalena. Existing routeing measures and mandatory systems are set out in the chartlet, below.

ANNEX 23

STATEMENT BY THE DELEGATION OF SINGAPORE ON PROCEDURES IN ASSESSING PSSA APPLICATIONS

This delegation would like to express appreciation to France and Italy for their constructive efforts in addressing our concerns. We further commend the efforts of the Technical Group in examining the PSSA applications to ensure that all relevant criteria were satisfied. We note that some procedures in assessing the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA application did not follow the sequence as set out in the Revised Guidelines for the Identification and Designation of PSSAs. There is a logic to the sequence provided in the revised guidelines for proper consideration of PSSA applications. This sequence should be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the integrity of the process and to give proper effect to the guidelines. This delegation would like to emphasize the principle that all PSSA applications must follow the guidelines and procedures that have been adopted by the IMO. We would also like to state for the record that the procedures in assessing the Strait of Bonifacio PSSA application should not be regarded as a precedent for future PSSA applications.

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General 1.1.1 In 2003, the Marine Environment Protection Committee adopted the Revised guidelines and specifications for pollution prevention equipment for machinery space bilges of ships (resolution MEPC.107(49)). The main purpose of this revision of the specifications of oil filtering equipment was to improve their capability of treating emulsified oil. 1.1.2 The present Guidelines have been developed to provide further assistance for upgrading systems installed on board ships prior to 1 January 2005, and of which oil filtering equipment was approved under resolution MEPC.60(33). 1.1.3 It has been recognized that the best measure to prevent pollution resulting from oily bilge water is installation of Integrated Bilge Water Treatment System (IBTS) in accordance with MEPC.1/Circ.642 as may be amended. IBTS prevents generation of oily bilge water. Although it may not be easy or practicable to fit complete IBTS on existing ships, pre-cleaning of oily bilge water, e.g., provision of a primary tank between bilge wells and bilge tank, should be seriously considered in order to remove impurities in bilge through surfacing or sedimentation, which is an effective way of preventing clogging of bilge separators. 1.2 Scope These guidelines apply to add-on post-treatment equipment for resolution MEPC.60(33)-compliant oil filtering equipment in order to improve their capabilities of treating emulsified oil so that emulsion-breaking performance of oily bilge separators to be achieved by installation of add-on equipment could be equivalent to that of resolution MEPC.107(49)-compliant equipment. 1.3 Up–grading options Equipment for upgrading existing oil filtering equipment are the following two types:

.1 equipment which could upgrade specific make of oil filtering equipment. Such equipment should be tested in accordance with Part 1 of the test specifications contained in the annex hereto, connected to a resolution MEPC.60(33) oil filtering equipment and type approved for use in conjunction with that specific make of oil filtering equipment tested, subject to: 1) environmental testing contained in Part 3 of the annex to resolution MEPC.107(49) and 2) the limiting conditions of the certification of the upgraded equipment.

.2 equipment which could upgrade any make of resolution

MEPC.60(33)-compliant oil filtering equipment. Such equipment should be tested in accordance with Part 2 of the test specifications contained in the annex hereto and type approved for use in conjunction with any make of oil filtering equipment, subject to: 1) environmental testing contained in Part 3 of the annex to resolution MEPC.107(49) and 2) the limiting conditions of the certification of the upgraded equipment.

2 DEFINITIONS Unless otherwise specified, definitions of the terms used in the Revised guidelines and specifications for pollution prevention equipment for machinery space bilges of ships (resolution MEPC.107(49)) apply to these Guidelines.

3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3.1 The add-on equipment should be strongly constructed and suitable for shipboard use, bearing in mind its intended location on the ship. 3.2 It should, if intended to be fitted in locations where flammable atmospheres may be present, comply with the relevant safety regulations for such spaces. Any electrical equipment which forms part of the add-on equipment should be based in a non-hazardous area, or should be certified by the Administration as safe for use in a hazardous area. Any moving parts which are fitted in hazardous areas should be arranged so as to avoid the formation of static electricity. 3.3 The add-on equipment should be so designed that it functions automatically in conjunction with the existing equipment. 3.4 The add-on equipment should require the minimum of attention to bring it into operation. In the case of equipment used for engine room bilges, there should be no need for any adjustment to valves and other equipment to bring the add-on equipment into operation. The equipment should be capable of operating for at least 24 hours of normal duty without attention. 3.5 It should be understood that the complete type approval with the test fluid C should be performed without interruption to attend, clean or maintain the bilge water separator. This test would be regarded as a simulation of the 24 hours of unattended operation not requiring any crew attention. 3.6 It should be understood that the 15 ppm bilge separator should operate continuously and automatically without any interruptions. It should be assured that back flushing if performed during the certification test does not cause:

.1 dilution of the test fluid C, or .2 dilution of the test sample sent to the laboratory for analysis.

3.7 If input flow of test fluid C is interrupted during the performance of the test it should be assured that the total quantities of test fluid C processed automatically are not less than the nominal flow of the tested equipment multiplied by the specified test duration of 150 minutes (2.5 hours). While all the time, the tested equipment operates continuously and automatically without human intervention. 3.8 The continuous and automatic operation should apply to the performance tests with the test fluid C according to the test result diagrams in the appendix to appendix 1 of resolution MEPC.107(49) as it relates to test fluid C. However, if due to the separation process any interruption in feeding the test fluid with nominal flow rate, e.g., for back flushing, is deemed necessary, the time for these interruptions should be added to the required time of the test step which was interrupted during the performance test. While all the time, the tested equipment operates continuously and automatically without human intervention. 3.9 All working parts of the add-on equipment which are liable to wear or to damage should be easily accessible for maintenance.

4 SPECIFICATION FOR TYPE APPROVAL TESTING OF ADD-ON EQUIPMENT 4.1 Testing requirements 4.1.1 The production model of add-on equipment, for which the approval will apply, should be identical to the equipment, type-tested in accordance with the performance and test specifications contained in part 1 or 2 of the annex to these Guidelines. The equipment should also be type-tested in accordance with the specifications for environmental testing contained in part 3 of the annex to resolution MEPC.107(49). 4.1.2 Where a range of add-on equipment of the same design, but of different capacities, requires certification in accordance with these specifications, the Administration may accept tests in two capacities within the range, in lieu of tests on every size, providing that the two tests actually performed are from the lowest quarter and highest quarter of the range. 4.2 Approval and certification procedures Add-on equipment which in every respect fulfils the provisions of these Guidelines may be approved by the Administration for fitting on board ships. The approval should take the form of a certificate of type approval specifying the main particulars of the apparatus and any limiting conditions on its usage necessary to ensure its proper performance. Such certificate should be issued in the format shown in part 3 of the annex. 5 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 5.1 Before installation of add-on equipment, it is important to ascertain that the existing oil filtering equipment is well maintained and in good working condition and that the rated capacity match that of add-on equipment. 5.2 The add-on equipment should be installed between the existing oil filtering equipment and the sampling point provided for inspection purposes on board ship. 5.3 The add-on equipment should be fitted with a permanently attached plate giving any operational or installation limits considered necessary by the manufacturer or by the Administration. 5.4 A vessel fitted with an add-on equipment should, at all times, have on board a copy of the operating and maintenance manuals. 5.5 For inspection purposes on board ship, a sampling point should be provided in a vertical section of the water effluent piping as close as is practicable to the 15 ppm bilge separator and add-on equipment outlet. Re-circulating facilities should be provided, after and adjacent to the overboard outlet of the stopping device to enable the 15 ppm bilge separator system, including the 15 ppm bilge alarm and the automatic stopping device where fitted, to be tested with the overboard discharge closed. 5.6 Where fitted, the bilge alarm should be approved according to resolution MEPC.107(49).

ADD-ON EQUIPMENT TO BE FITTED TO SPECIFIC OIL FILTERING EQUIPMENT APPROVED UNDER RESOLUTION MEPC.60(33)

1 General 1.1 These test and performance specifications for type approval relate to add-on equipment for oil filtering equipment type approved in accordance with resolution MEPC.60(33) (hereinafter referred to as "oil filtering equipment"). In addition, the electrical and electronic systems of the add-on equipment should be tested in accordance with the specifications for environmental testing contained in part 3 of resolution MEPC.107(49). 1.2 The test of add-on equipment should be carried out in combination with oil filtering equipment to which add-on equipment being tested is intended to be added on. 2 Test specifications 2.1 These specifications relate to add-on equipment for oil filtering equipment. A set of oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment should be capable of producing an effluent for discharge to the sea containing not more than 15 ppm of oil, when 3,000 ppm oil in water emulsions are fed. 2.2 The test rig must be so constructed as to include not only oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment, but also the pumps, valves, pipes and fittings as shown in figure 1:

.1 for the testing of oil filtering equipment having no integral pump, the centrifugal pump "A" (figure 1) is used to feed oil filtering equipment with valves 2 and 4 open, and valve 3 closed. The rate of flow from the centrifugal pump "A" is matched to the design throughput of oil filtering equipment by adjustment of the centrifugal pump's discharge valve;

.2 a centrifugal pump "B" should be fitted to re-circulate the test fluid "C" in the

tank to ensure that the test fluid "C" is maintained in a stable condition throughout the testing;

.3 to ensure a good mix of the test fluid and the water, a conditioning pipe as

specified in paragraph 2.4 should be fitted immediately before oil filtering equipment;

.4 other valves, flow meters and sample points should be fitted to the test rig

as shown in figure 1; and .5 the pipe work should be designed for a maximum liquid velocity

of 3 metres/second.

Figure 1 – Test rig 2.3 Tests should be performed using test fluid "C" as defined in resolution MEPC.107(49). 2.4 If oil filtering equipment includes an integrated feed pump, oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment should be tested with that pump supplying the required quantity of test fluid and water to oil filtering equipment at its rated capacity. If oil filtering equipment is to be fed by the ship's pumps, then the unit will be tested by supplying the required quantity of test fluid and water mixture to the inlet of a centrifugal pump operating at not less than 1,000 rpm (see dotted line in figure 1). This pump should have a delivery capacity of not less than 1.1 times the rated capacity of oil filtering equipment at the delivery pressure required for the test. If a centrifugal pump is used, the excess pump capacity should be controlled by a throttle valve on the discharge side of the pump. In all cases, to ensure uniform conditions, the piping arrangements immediately prior to oil filtering equipment should be such that the influent to oil filtering equipment should have a Reynolds number of not less than 10,000 as calculated in fresh water, a liquid velocity of not less than 1 metre per second and the length of the supply pipe from the point of test fluid injection to oil filtering equipment should have a length not less than 20 times its diameter. A mixture inlet sampling point and a thermometer pocket should be provided near oil filtering equipment inlet and an outlet sampling point and observation window should be provided on the discharge pipe.

2.5 In order to approach isokinetic sampling – i.e. the sample enters the sampling pipe at stream velocity – the sampling arrangement should be as shown in figure 2 and, if a cock is fitted, free flow should be effected for at least one minute before any sample is taken. The sampling points should be in pipes running vertically. 2.6 In the case of oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment depending essentially on gravity, the feed to the system of the test water and test fluid mixture should be maintained at a temperature not greater than 40ºC, and heating and cooling coils should be provided where necessary. The water shall have a density of not more than 1.015 at 20ºC. In other forms of separation where the dependence of separation efficiency on temperature is not established, tests should be carried out over a range of influent temperatures representing the normal shipboard operating range of 10ºC to 40ºC or should be taken at a temperature in this range where the separation efficiency is known to be worst. 2.7 In those cases where, for oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment, it is necessary to heat water up to a given temperature and to supply heat to maintain that temperature, the tests should be carried out at the given temperature.

2.8 The tests with test fluid "C" should be carried out as follows:

.1 prior to the test with test fluid "C", oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment should be filled up with water (density of not more than 1.015 at 20ºC);

.2 oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment should be fed with a mixture

composed of 6% test fluid "C" and 94% water to have emulsified oil content of 3,000 ppm in the test water until steady conditions have been established. Steady conditions are assumed to be the conditions established after pumping through oil filtering equipment and add-on equipment a quantity of test fluid "C"/water mixture not less than twice the volume of oil filtering and add-on equipment; and

.3 the test should then proceed for 2.5 h. Samples should be taken at the

effluent outlet at 50 minutes and 100 minutes after conditioning. At the end of this test, an air cock should be opened on the suction side of the pump and, if necessary, the test fluid "C" and water valves should be slowly closed together, and a sample taken at the effluent discharge as the flow ceases (this point can be checked from the observation window).

2.9 Sampling should be carried out as shown in figure 2 so that the sample taken will suitably represent the fluid issuing from the effluent outlet of add-on equipment. 2.10 Samples should be taken in accordance with ISO 9377–2:2000. The sample is to be extracted on the same day of collection, and be sealed and labelled in the presence of a representative of the national authority and arrangements should be made for analysis as soon as possible and in any case within seven days, provided the samples are being kept between 2ºC and 6ºC at laboratories approved by the Administration. 2.11 The oil content of the samples should be determined in accordance with part 4 of the annex to resolution MEPC.107(49). 2.12 When accurate and reliable oil content meters are fitted at inlet and outlet of add-on equipment, one sample at inlet and outlet taken during each test will be considered sufficient if they verify, to within ±10%, the meter readings noted at the same instant.

ANNEX

PROCEDURE FOR APPROVING OTHER METHODS OF BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH

REGULATION B-3.7 OF THE BWM CONVENTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Regulation B-3.7 of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (the BWM Convention) permits the use of Other Methods of ballast water management to achieve at least the same level of protection to the environment, human health, property or resources as described in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5, and approved in principle by the MEPC. 1.2 Those developing Other Methods should also take into account: safety considerations relating to the ship and the crew; environmental acceptability (i.e. not causing greater environmental impacts than they solve); practicality (i.e. compatibility with ship design and operations); cost-effectiveness and economics; and biological effectiveness. 1.3 The Procedure for approving Other Methods of ballast water management in accordance with regulation B-3.7 of the BWM Convention (hereafter referred to as "the Procedure"), aims at providing criteria for the evaluation and approval of Other Methods of ballast water management (hereafter referred to as "Other Methods"). 1.4 This Procedure has been developed to ensure that these Other Methods provide at least the same level of protection to the environment, human health, property or resources as those methods permitted under regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5. 1.5 Other Methods of ballast water management are to be approved in principle by the Committee prior to approval of an Other Method by the Administration. 1.6 Systems based on an Other Method where Active Substances and Preparations are added to the ballast water, or are generated on board ships by the system, should also be subject to the approval by the Committee in accordance with the Procedure for approval of ballast water management systems that make use of Active Substances (G9). 1.7 All shipboard systems based on an Other Method will also have to gain Type Approval or Prototype Approval, as appropriate, under the Guidelines for approval of ballast water management systems (G8), or Guidelines for approval of prototype ballast water treatment technologies (G10). 1.8 Where an Other Method cannot be type approved due to the nature of the method, the Administration should recommend to the Committee an appropriate method of recognition or certification. 1.9 The environmental impacts of any chemical by-products and/or physical effects formed by an Other Method will also have to be evaluated by the Administration during the approval process, with respect to safety to the environment. 1.10 The Procedure identifies the information to be provided, identifies the responsible parties for providing such information and outlines the approval processes required by the Committee.

1.11 The use of Other Methods of ballast water management should be consistent with the objectives of the Convention – "to prevent, minimize and ultimately eliminate the risks to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through the control and management of ships' ballast water and sediments, as well as to avoid unwanted side effects from that control, and to encourage developments in related knowledge and technology". Depending on the new technology used in the Other Method, verifications for approval could be different from those specified in paragraph 1.7 but keep the same level of protection. 1.12 Other Methods using organisms are not within the scope of this Procedure. 2 PURPOSE 2.1 The Procedure aims to ensure that any Other Methods approved provide an equivalent level of protection to the standards contained in the BWM Convention. The Procedure will be kept under review and updated by the Committee in light of the experience gained during its application and as the state of knowledge and technology may require. 2.2 The purpose of the Procedure is to:

.1 provide a uniform interpretation and application of the requirements for the approval of Other Methods permitted under regulation B-3.7;

.2 ensure that Other Methods approved by an Administration are capable of at

least achieving equivalence to the level of protection provided by the standards of the BWM Convention with respect to the prevention of the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens as required by regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5;

.3 assist in determining the information necessary for the approval in principle

of Other Methods under regulation B-3.7 of the BWM Convention and identify the roles and responsibilities in providing such information;

.4 assist Administrations in conducting the approval of an Other Method; .5 provide guidance to manufacturers, shipowners and other interested parties

involved in determining the suitability of an Other Method to meet the requirements of the BWM Convention; and

.6 provide the approval process used by the Committee.

3 DEFINITIONS 3.1 For the purposes of this Procedure, the definitions in the Convention apply and:

.1 Method means a process developed and designed to reduce the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms through ships' ballast water to meet the requirements specified under regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 of the BWM Convention.

.2 Other Method means an alternative to a Method defined in

paragraph 3.1.1 above, which provides a level of protection equivalent to the requirements specified in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 of the BWM Convention.

4 APPLICABILITY 4.1 The Procedure applies to all Administrations, Parties to the BWM Convention and other IMO Member States, seeking approval in principle for an Other Method under regulation B-3.7 or assessing or granting approval for such Other Methods. This Procedure is also for the use of the Committee when considering approval in principle. 4.2 Equipment manufacturers wanting to seek approval for an Other Method should also consult this Procedure. 4.3 Ballast water management methods subject to regulation A-4.1 of the BWM Convention are not subject to this procedure or to regulation B-3.7. 5 APPLICATION TO THE COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE OF AN

OTHER METHOD 5.1 The information provided to support the application for approval in principle should be complete, of sufficient quality and in accordance with this Procedure. 5.2 The applicant for approval in principle of an Other Method should provide independently validated and/or operational proof that the Other Method being submitted:

.1 provides a level of protection at least equivalent to that provided by the requirements specified in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 of the BWM Convention; and

.2 is capable of providing a consistent level of protection at all times in all

environments/locations. Equivalence and benchmark criteria for an application for approval in principle of an Other Method 5.3 Applications for Other Methods should contain a fully developed independently validated approach for assessing the level of protection provided by that Other Method against the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens and its equivalence to the requirements in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 of the BWM Convention and the additional requirements outlined in this Procedure, as appropriate. A possible starting point for such an approach could be a comparison of the level of protection ensured by ballast water management in compliance with regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 and the level of protection ensured by the Other Method if used on comparable ships. 5.4 Other Methods should demonstrate by risk assessment, independently validated physical and biological modelling, operational testing of this modelling and full-scale operational testing, where applicable, that the Other Method is capable of meeting at all times a level of protection that is at least equivalent to the level of protection with respect to the prevention of the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens via discharge of ballast water compared to existing requirements. The risk assessment should be at least to the same level of rigour as stipulated in Guidelines (G7). 5.5 Applications for Other Methods should specify the benchmark against which the performance of any systems based on that particular Other Method can be measured. The benchmark would:

.1 enable a transparent comparison by the Committee of the level of protection provided by the Other Method with that provided by the requirements in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5 of the BWM Convention;

.2 be measurable and able to be evaluated for approval (similar to the

requirements of the Convention, i.e. D-1 being a process evaluation, while D-2 is a measurable performance standard);

.3 be verifiable by port and flag States through sampling, records or other

processes (to be properly defined, listed and technically explained/clarified, in the pertinent application, in terms of proposed verifications for flag State or port State control inspections to be carried out on board);

.4 need to be contained in the application, agreed by the Committee and then

be used for consideration of approval through compliance testing by Port State Control;

.5 provide an assurance that systems based on an Other Method are providing

the same level of protection for the environment as the Other Method that has received the approval in principle from the Committee; and

.6 be based on a recognized international standard, where appropriate, so

long as they can be proved as equivalent to the existing requirements. 5.6 An Other Method may provide the same level of protection for the environment, human health, property or resources where:

.1 the ballasting and de-ballasting process does not transfer harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens; or

.2 the ballast water discharge contains no harmful aquatic organisms and

pathogens. Sampling protocol criteria for an application for approval in principle of an Other Method 5.7 The application for an Other Method should contain a ballast water sampling and analysis protocol that should be consistent with the Guidelines for ballast water sampling (G2). Ship and personnel safety criteria for an application for approval in principle of an Other Method 5.8 The application should include a Formal Safety Assessment or a Safety Case to ensure that the Other Method or system based on an Other Method is safe for installation on board ship and any risks to the ship's crew resulting from the system are identified and adequately addressed. This Formal Safety Assessment or Safety Case should be consistent with part 3 of the annex to the Guidelines for approval of ballast water management systems (G8) and approved by the Administration. 6 SUBMISSION PROCESS 6.1 The applicant should evaluate the Other Method against the benchmark according to a protocol that is approved by an Administration. 6.2 The applicant should then prepare an application for the Other Method and submit it to the Member State concerned.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 25, page 6

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

6.3 The Administration should review the application to ensure it is satisfactory (i.e. contains all of the information that is required and the information provided is of a sufficient standard to enable a decision to be made by the Committee). If the application is satisfactory, the Member State should submit a proposal for approval in principle to the Committee taking into account the deadlines prior to the MEPC at which approval in principle is to be sought. 6.4 When in session, the Committee should decide if the proposal is acceptable for consideration by the Committee and set the time frame for the evaluation of the proposal as follows:

.1 the Committee may commission an independent review of the risk assessment method, data and assumptions in order to ensure that a scientifically rigorous analysis has been conducted. The review should be undertaken by independent experts with ecological, aquatic biology, ship design and operation, and risk assessment expertise; and

.2 the reviewers' report should be in written form and circulated to the Parties,

Members of the Organization, the United Nations and its Specialized Agencies, intergovernmental organizations having agreements with the Organization and non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Organization, prior to its consideration by the Committee.

6.5 All proprietary data should be treated as confidential by the Committee, the competent authorities involved, and the independent reviewers, if any. However, all information related to safety and environmental protection, including physical/chemical properties and data on environmental fate and toxicity, should be treated as non-confidential. 6.6 The Committee should evaluate the application for approval in principle of an Other Method in accordance with this Procedure. 7 ASSESSMENT OF EQUIVALENCE 7.1 The Committee should review the benchmarks detailed in the application and, as appropriate, take them into account when assessing equivalence to the level of protection for the environment, human health, property or resources as provided for in regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5. 7.2 Other Methods designed to provide at least an equivalent level of protection with respect to the prevention of the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens via discharge of ballast water should demonstrate by risk assessment, independently validated physical and biological modelling, operational testing of this modelling and full-scale operational testing, where applicable, that the Other Method is capable of meeting a level of protection at all times that is, at least equivalent to, or better than, the applicable requirements contained in the BWM Convention. 7.3 Risk assessment is the logical process for assigning the likelihood and consequences of specific events, such as entry, establishment or spread of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens in situations where a direct comparison of application benchmarks with the D-1 and D-2 standards is not possible. 7.4 In undertaking risk assessment to consider and evaluate the equivalence of an Other Method with the existing standards, the risk assessment principles outlined in the Guidelines for risk assessment under regulation A-4 of the BWM Convention (G7) should be carefully applied. The lack of full scientific certainty should be carefully considered in the decision-making process.

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

Equivalence with the D-1 standard 7.5 Other Methods designed to provide equivalence to the D-1 standard can be used only until the ship type, under the BWM Convention, is required to comply with the D-2 standard (unless the system proves it can also provide equivalence to the D-2 standard):

.1 these methods should demonstrate through risk assessment, independently validated physical and biological modelling, operational testing of this modelling and full-scale operational testing of systems based on Other Methods, where applicable, that the Other Method is capable of meeting at all times a level of protection that is, at least equivalent to, or better than, regulation D-1 of the BWM Convention;

.2 if there is a question about the environmental impact of an Other Method

during its development, such approval should be split in the same way as it is in Procedure (G9). That is, Other Methods should be approved by the Administration and Committee based on independently validated data prior to being tested at sea; and

.3 the relevant water quality parameters (e.g., suspended solids, salinity,

oxygen concentration, particulate organic matter) should be reasonably the same in the incoming as well as in the outflowing water.

Equivalence with the D-2 standard 7.6 Other Methods designed to provide equivalence to the D-2 standard should demonstrate through risk assessment, independently validated physical and biological modelling, operational testing of this modelling and full-scale operational testing of systems based on Other Methods, where applicable, that the Other Method is capable of meeting at all times a level of protection that is at least equivalent to, or better than, regulation D-2 of the BWM Convention, as follows:

.1 where appropriate, benchmarks should be based on recognized international standards as long as they can be proven to provide an equivalent level of protection to the D-2 standard;

.2 the description of the main characteristics of the ballast water as well as the

absence/presence of harmful aquatic organisms is to be supported by independent verification; and

.3 onboard test results, equipment specification and quality assurance should

be available. 8 APPROVAL 8.1 The approval takes place in two steps:

.1 an approval in principle of the Other Method following review and evaluation by the Committee (regulation B-3.7); and

.2 an approval of the Other Method in a manner analogous to Guidelines (G8)

and (G10), by the Administration.

Assessment for approval in principle 8.2 The application for approval in principle should be assessed by the Committee to ascertain whether:

.1 the application for approval in principle is complete, of sufficient quality, and in accordance with this Procedure;

.2 the Other Method does not cause any unacceptable adverse effects to

environment, human health, property or resources;

.3 the Other Method does not contravene other regulations in the BWM Convention, or any other convention or code applicable to the ship type;

.4 the Other Method ensures at least the same level of protection to the

environment, human health, property or resources as those methods permitted under regulations B-3.1 to B-3.5; and

.5 the Procedure for approval set out by the Administration is appropriate.

8.3 The application should not be granted approval in principle when there is absence of information or significant uncertainty. 8.4 The Committee should decide whether to approve in principle the proposal, introduce any modifications thereto, if appropriate, taking into account the reviewers' report. 8.5 The Administration that submitted the application to the Committee should inform in writing the applicant about the decision made with regard to the Other Method. Approval by the Administration 8.6 An Other Method, having received approval in principle from the Committee, is to be approved by an Administration. 8.7 A shipboard system may need to be assessed for Type Approval. 8.8 The Administration should evaluate an Other Method for safety to the environment, human health, property, or resources. 9 NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL 9.1 The Committee will record the approval in principle of Other Methods and circulate the list once a year including the following information:

- the document reference of the approval in principle of the Other Method by the Committee;

- name and brief description of the Other Method; - name of ballast water management system that makes use of the Other Method

if appropriate; - date of approval;

assessing compliance to this benchmark; - copies of or access routes to test reports, test methods, etc.

(as resolution MEPC.175(58)); and - any other specifications, if necessary.

9.2 Administrations, when approving an Other Method should report to the Committee in a manner consistent with resolution MEPC.175(58) "Information reporting on Type Approved ballast water management systems". 10 MODIFICATION 10.1 The holder of an Other Method approval should report any modifications to the Administration. 10.2 Any modifications to an approved Other Method should be re-evaluated in accordance with this Procedure. 11 WITHDRAWAL OF APPROVAL 11.1 The Committee may withdraw any approval in principle in the following circumstances:

.1 if the Other Method or system based on an Other Method no longer conforms to requirements due to amendments of the BWM Convention;

.2 if any data or test records differ materially from data relied upon at the time

of approval and are deemed not to satisfy the approval criteria;

.3 if a request for withdrawal of approval is made by the Administration on behalf of the holder of an Other Method approval; and

.4 if unreasonable harm to environment, human health, property or resources

is determined to have been caused by an approved Other Method. 11.2 The decision to withdraw an approval in principle should specify all necessary further details, including the date upon which the withdrawal takes effect. 12 USE ON SHIPS 12.1 Ships using an Other Method under regulation B-3.7 of the BWM Convention, to meet their obligations under this Convention, can only do so once the Other Method has been approved in principle by the Committee and has been approved by an Administration.

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 In the adoption of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention), Member States of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) made a clear commitment to minimizing the transfer of invasive aquatic species by shipping. Studies have shown that biofouling can also be a significant vector for the transfer of invasive aquatic species. Biofouling on ships entering the waters of States may result in the establishment of invasive aquatic species which may pose threats to human, animal and plant life, economic and cultural activities and the aquatic environment. 1.2 While the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 (AFS Convention) addresses anti-fouling systems on ships, its focus is on the prevention of adverse impacts from the use of anti-fouling systems and the biocides they may contain, rather than preventing the transfer of invasive aquatic species. 1.3 The potential for invasive aquatic species transferred through biofouling to cause harm has been recognized by the IMO, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), several UNEP Regional Seas Conventions (e.g., Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea Against Pollution), the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), and the Secretariat of the Pacific Region Environmental Program (SPREP). 1.4 All ships have some degree of biofouling, even those which may have been recently cleaned or had a new application of an anti-fouling coating system. Studies have shown that the biofouling process begins within the first few hours of a ship's immersion in water. The biofouling that may be found on a ship is influenced by a range of factors, such as follows:

.1 design and construction, particularly the number, location and design of niche areas;

.2 specific operating profile, including factors such as operating speeds, ratio

of time underway compared with time alongside, moored or at anchor, and where the ship is located when not in use (e.g., open anchorage or estuarine port);

.3 places visited and trading routes; and .4 maintenance history, including: the type, age and condition of any

anti-fouling coating system, installation and operation of anti-fouling systems and dry-docking/slipping and hull cleaning practices.

1.5 Implementing practices to control and manage biofouling can greatly assist in reducing the risk of the transfer of invasive aquatic species. Such management practices can also improve a ship's hydrodynamic performance and can be effective tools in enhancing energy efficiency and reducing air emissions from ships. This concept has been identified by the IMO in the "Guidance for the development of a ship energy efficiency management plan (SEEMP)" (MEPC.1/Circ.683). 1.6 These Guidelines for the control and management of ships' biofouling to minimize the transfer of invasive aquatic species (hereafter "the Guidelines") are intended to provide a globally consistent approach to the management of biofouling. As scientific and technological advances are made, the Guidelines will be refined to enable the risk to be more adequately addressed. Port States, flag States, coastal States and other parties that can assist in mitigating the problems associated with biofouling should exercise due diligence to implement the Guidelines to the maximum extent possible.

2 DEFINITIONS 2.1 For the purposes of these Guidelines, the following definitions apply: AFS Convention means the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001. Anti-fouling coating system means the combination of all component coatings, surface treatments (including primer, sealer, binder, anti-corrosive and anti-fouling coatings) or other surface treatments, used on a ship to control or prevent attachment of unwanted aquatic organisms. Anti-fouling system means a coating, paint, surface treatment, surface, or device that is used on a ship to control or prevent attachment of unwanted organisms. Biofouling means the accumulation of aquatic organisms such as micro-organisms, plants, and animals on surfaces and structures immersed in or exposed to the aquatic environment. Biofouling can include microfouling and macrofouling (see below). In-water cleaning means the physical removal of biofouling from a ship while in the water. Invasive aquatic species means a species which may pose threats to human, animal and plant life, economic and cultural activities and the aquatic environment. Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS) means an anti-fouling system used for the prevention of biofouling accumulation in internal seawater cooling systems and sea chests and can include the use of anodes, injection systems and electrolysis. Member States means States that are Members of the International Maritime Organization. Macrofouling means large, distinct multicellular organisms visible to the human eye such as barnacles, tubeworms, or fronds of algae. Microfouling means microscopic organisms including bacteria and diatoms and the slimy substances that they produce. Biofouling comprised of only microfouling is commonly referred to as a slime layer. Niche areas mean areas on a ship that may be more susceptible to biofouling due to different hydrodynamic forces, susceptibility to coating system wear or damage, or being inadequately, or not, painted, e.g., sea chests, bow thrusters, propeller shafts, inlet gratings, dry-dock support strips, etc. Organization means the International Maritime Organization. Port State authority means any official or organization authorized by the Government of a port State to verify the compliance and enforcement of standards and regulations relevant to the implementation of national and international shipping control measures. Ship means a vessel of any type whatsoever operating in the aquatic environment and includes hydrofoil boats, air-cushion vehicles, submersibles, floating craft, fixed or floating platforms, floating storage units (FSUs) and floating production storage and off-loading units (FPSOs).

States means coastal, port or Member States as appropriate. Treatment means a process which may use a mechanical, physical, chemical or biological method to remove or render sterile, invasive or potentially invasive aquatic species fouling a ship. 3 APPLICATION 3.1 The Guidelines are intended to provide useful recommendations on general measures to minimize the risks associated with biofouling for all types of ships and are directed to States, shipmasters, operators and owners, shipbuilders, ship cleaning and maintenance operators, port authorities, ship repair, dry-docking and recycling facilities, ship designers, classification societies, anti-fouling paint manufacturers and suppliers and any other interested parties. A State should determine the extent that the Guidelines are applied within that particular State. 3.2 A separate guidance document, based on these Guidelines, provides advice relevant to owners and/or operators of recreational craft less than 24 metres in length, using terminology appropriate for that sector. 3.3 States should inform the Organization of any relevant biofouling regulations, management requirements or restrictions they are applying to international shipping. 4 OBJECTIVES 4.1 The objectives of these Guidelines are to provide practical guidance to States, ship masters, operators and owners, shipbuilders, ship repair, dry-docking and recycling facilities, ship cleaning and maintenance operators, ship designers, classification societies, anti-fouling paint manufacturers and suppliers and any other interested parties, on measures to minimize the risk of transferring invasive aquatic species from ships' biofouling. It is important that biofouling management procedures be effective as well as environmentally safe, practical, designed to minimize costs and delays to the ship, and based upon these Guidelines whenever possible. 4.2 To minimize the transfer of invasive aquatic species, a ship should implement biofouling management practices, including the use of anti-fouling systems and other operational management practices to reduce the development of biofouling. The intent of such practices is to keep the ship's submerged surfaces, and internal seawater cooling systems, as free of biofouling as practical. A ship following this guidance and minimizing macrofouling would have a reduced potential for transferring invasive aquatic species via biofouling. 4.3 The management measures outlined within these Guidelines are intended to complement current maintenance practices carried out within the industry. 5 BIOFOULING MANAGEMENT PLAN AND RECORD BOOK 5.1 Implementation of an effective biofouling management regime is critical for minimizing the transfer of invasive aquatic species. The biofouling management measures to be undertaken on a ship should be outlined in a biofouling management plan, and records of biofouling management practices kept in a biofouling record book, as outlined below.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 6

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

Biofouling Management Plan 5.2 It is recommended that every ship should have a biofouling management plan. The intent of the plan should be to provide effective procedures for biofouling management. An example of a Biofouling Management Plan is outlined in appendix 1 of these Guidelines. The Biofouling Management Plan may be a stand-alone document, or integrated in part or fully, into the existing ships' operational and procedural manuals and/or planned maintenance system. 5.3 The biofouling management plan should be specific to each ship and included in the ship's operational documentation. Such a plan should address, among other things, the following:

.1 relevant parts of these Guidelines; .2 details of the anti-fouling systems and operational practices or treatments

used, including those for niche areas; .3 hull locations susceptible to biofouling, schedule of planned inspections,

repairs, maintenance and renewal of anti-fouling systems; .4 details of the recommended operating conditions suitable for the chosen

anti-fouling systems and operational practices; .5 details relevant for the safety of the crew, including details on the

anti-fouling system(s) used; and .6 details of the documentation required to verify any treatments recorded in

the Biofouling Record Book as outlined in appendix 2. 5.4 The biofouling management plan should be updated as necessary. Biofouling Record Book 5.5 It is recommended that a Biofouling Record Book is maintained for each ship. The book should record details of all inspections and biofouling management measures undertaken on the ship. This is to assist the shipowner and operator to evaluate the efficacy of the specific anti-fouling systems and operational practices on the ship in particular, and of the biofouling management plan in general. The record book could also assist interested State authorities to quickly and efficiently assess the potential biofouling risk of the ship, and thus minimize delays to ship operations. The Biofouling Record Book may be a stand-alone document, or integrated in part, or fully, into the existing ships' operational and procedural manuals and/or planned maintenance system. 5.6 It is recommended that the Biofouling Record Book be retained on the ship for the life of the ship. 5.7 Information that should be recorded in a Biofouling Record Book includes the following:

.1 details of the anti-fouling systems and operational practices used (where appropriate as recorded in the Anti-fouling System Certificate), where and when installed, areas of the ship coated, its maintenance and, where applicable, its operation;

Page 296: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 7

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.2 dates and location of dry-dockings/slippings, including the date the ship was re-floated, and any measures taken to remove biofouling or to renew or repair the anti-fouling system;

.3 the date and location of in-water inspections, the results of that inspection

and any corrective action taken to deal with observed biofouling; .4 the dates and details of inspection and maintenance of internal seawater

cooling systems, the results of these inspections, and any corrective action taken to deal with observed biofouling and any reported blockages; and

.5 details of when the ship has been operating outside its normal operating

profile including any details of when the ship was laid-up or inactive for extended periods of time.

5.8 An example of a Biofouling Record Book and information to be recorded is included as appendix 2 to these Guidelines. 6 ANTI-FOULING SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE 6.1 Anti-fouling systems and operational practices are the primary means of biofouling prevention and control for existing ships' submerged surfaces, including the hull and niche areas. An anti-fouling system can be a coating system applied to exposed surfaces, biofouling resistant materials used for piping and other unpainted components, marine growth prevention systems (MGPSs) for sea chests and internal seawater cooling systems, or other innovative measures to control biofouling. 6.2 The anti-fouling system used should comply with the AFS Convention, where necessary. Choosing the anti-fouling system 6.3 Different anti-fouling systems are designed for different ship operating profiles so it is essential that ship operators, designers and builders obtain appropriate technical advice to ensure an appropriate system is applied or installed. If an appropriate anti-fouling system is not applied, biofouling accumulation increases. 6.4 Some factors to consider when choosing an anti-fouling system include the following:

.1 planned periods between dry-docking – including any mandatory requirements for ships survey;

.2 ship speed – different anti-fouling systems are designed to optimize

anti-fouling performance for specific ship speeds; .3 operating profile – patterns of use, trade routes and activity levels, including

periods of inactivity, influence the rate of biofouling accumulation; .4 ship type and construction; and .5 any legal requirements for the sale and use of the anti-fouling systems.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 8

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

6.5 Consideration should also be given to the need for tailored, differential installation of anti-fouling coating systems for different areas of the ship to match the required performance and longevity of the coating with the expected wear, abrasion and water flow rates in specific areas, such as the bow, rudder, or internal seawater cooling systems and sea chest interiors. Installing, re-installing, or repairing the anti-fouling system 6.6 Whether installing, re-installing or repairing the anti-fouling system, care should be taken in surface preparation to ensure all biofouling residues, flaking paint, or other surface contamination is completely removed, particularly in niche areas, to facilitate good adhesion and durability of the anti-fouling system. 6.7 For sea chests the following should be considered when installing, re-installing, or repairing their anti-fouling systems:

.1 inlet grates and the internal surfaces of sea chests should be protected by an anti-fouling coating system that is suitable for the flow conditions of seawater over the grate and through the sea chest;

.2 care should be taken in surface preparation and application of any

anti-fouling coating system to ensure adequate adhesion and coating thickness. Particular attention should be paid to the corners and edges of sea chests, blowout pipes, holding brackets and the bars of grates. Grates may require a major refurbishment type of surface preparation at each dry-docking to ensure coating durability; and

.3 the installation of MGPSs is encouraged to assist in treating the sea chest

and internal seawater piping as part of the biofouling management plan. A careful evaluation of the consequential effects of MGPSs should be made before installation, including potential effects on the ship and/or the environment and the existence of regulations affecting the use of MGPSs.

6.8 Other niche areas can also be particularly susceptible to biofouling growth. Management measures for niche areas are outlined below.

.1 Dry-docking support strips – Positions of dry-docking blocks and supports should be varied at each dry-docking, or alternative arrangements made to ensure that areas under blocks are painted with anti-fouling, at least at alternate dry-dockings. These areas should receive a major refurbishment type of surface preparation and be coated at each dry-docking that they are accessible. Where it is not possible to alternate the position of dry-docking support strips, e.g., in critical weight bearing areas such as under the engine-room, these areas should be specially considered and managed by other means, e.g., the application of specialized coatings or procedures.

.2 Bow and stern thrusters – The body and area around bow, stern and any

other thrusters prone to coating damage, should be routinely maintained at dry-dockings. Particular attention should be paid to any free flooding spaces which may exist around the thruster tunnel. The housings/recesses, and retractable fittings such as stabilizers and thruster bodies, should have an anti-fouling coating system of adequate thickness for optimal effectiveness.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 9

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.3 Edges and weld joints – Exposed edges on the hull, such as around bilge keels and scoops, and weld joints, should be faired and coated to ensure adequate coating thickness to optimize system effectiveness.

.4 Rudder hinges and stabilizer fin apertures – Recesses within rudder

hinges and behind stabilizer fins need to be carefully and effectively cleaned and re-coated at maintenance dry-dockings. Rudders and stabilizer fins should be moved through their full range of motion during the coating process to ensure that all surfaces are correctly coated to the specification of the anti-fouling system. Rudders, rudder fittings and the hull areas around them should also be adequately coated to withstand the increased wear rates experienced in these areas.

.5 Propeller and shaft – Propellers and immersed propeller shafts should be

coated with fouling release coatings where possible and appropriate, to maintain efficiency and enable self-cleaning, so that the need for regular in-water cleaning and polishing is minimized.

.6 Stern tube seal assemblies and the internal surfaces of rope guards – Exposed sections of stern tube seal assemblies and the internal surfaces of rope guards should be carefully painted with anti-fouling coating systems appropriate to the degree of water movement over and around these surfaces.

.7 Cathodic protection (CP) anodes – Niche areas for biofouling can be

minimized if: anodes are flush-fitted to the hull; a rubber backing pad is inserted between the anode and the hull; or the gap is caulked. Caulking the gap will make the seam or joint watertight. If not flush-fitted, the hull surface under the anode and the anode strap should be coated with an anti-fouling coating system suitable for low water flow to prevent biofouling accumulation. If anodes are attached by bolts recessed into the anode surface, the recess should be caulked to remove a potential niche.

.8 Pitot tubes – Where retractable pitot tubes are fitted, the housing should

be internally coated with an anti-fouling coating system suitable for static conditions.

.9 Sea inlet pipes and overboard discharges – Anti-fouling coating systems

should be applied inside the pipe opening and accessible internal areas. The anti-corrosive or primer coating selected should be appropriate to the specific pipe material if this material is different to the hull. Care should be taken in surface preparation and coating application to ensure good adhesion and coating thickness.

Procedures for ship maintenance and recycling facilities 6.9 Ship maintenance and recycling facilities should adopt measures (consistent with applicable national and local laws and regulations) to ensure that viable biofouling organisms or chemical and physical pollutants are not released into the local aquatic environment. These measures include the following:

.1 capturing biological material to minimize the risk of organism survival and establishment and other impacts of biological material being released into the aquatic environment;

Page 299: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 10

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.2 treating and/or disposing of captured biological material in an environmentally appropriate manner;

.3 scheduling of ships' arrival and departure at cleaning and maintenance

facilities and at locations where ships are moored while waiting for cleaning and maintenance to minimize the risk of fouled ships contaminating other ships and the surrounding environment;

.4 removing biofouling from all underwater surfaces of a ship when in

dry-dock, including niche areas; and .5 lowering or extending retractable equipment such as stabilizers, thrusters,

transducers and similar when a ship is in dry-dock or slipped, to permit access for the removal of biofouling from the equipment and its housing.

7 IN-WATER INSPECTION, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 7.1 Despite the use of effective anti-fouling systems and operational practices, undesirable amounts of biofouling may still accumulate during the intended lifetime of the anti-fouling system. To maintain a ship as free of biofouling as practical, it may be advisable for the ship to undertake in-water inspection, cleaning and maintenance. In-water inspection of ships 7.2 In-water inspection can be a useful and flexible means to inspect the condition of anti-fouling systems and the biofouling status of a ship. In-water inspections should be undertaken periodically as a general means of routine surveillance, augmented by specific inspections as necessary to address any situations of elevated risk. Specific occasions when an in-water inspection may be appropriate, include the following:

.1 before and after any planned period of inactivity or significant or unforeseen change to the ship's operating profile;

.2 prior to undertaking in-water cleaning to determine the presence of known or

suspected invasive aquatic species or other species of concern on the ship; .3 after a known or suspected marine pest or other species of concern is

discovered in a ship's internal seawater cooling systems; and .4 following damage to, or premature failure of, the anti-fouling system.

7.3 It is recommended that ship operators identify niche areas on the ship that may accumulate biofouling to enable these areas to be effectively targeted during inspections. Areas may include the following:

- propeller thrusters and propulsion units; - sea chests; - rudder stock and hinge; - stabilizer fin apertures; - rope guards, stern tube seals and propeller shafts;

Page 300: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 11

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

- cathodic protection anodes; - anchor chain and chain lockers; - free flood spaces inherent to the ships' design; - sea chest and thruster tunnel grates; - echo sounders and velocity probes; - overboard discharge outlets and sea inlets; and - areas prone to anti-fouling coating system damage or grounding (e.g., areas of

the hull damaged by fenders when alongside, leading edges of bilge keels and propeller shaft "y" frames).

7.4 Dive and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) surveys can be practical options for in-water inspections although they do have limitations regarding visibility and available dive time compared with the area to be inspected, and difficulties with effectively accessing many biofouling prone niches. Such surveys should be undertaken by persons who are suitably qualified and experienced and familiar with biofouling and associated invasive aquatic species risks and the safety risks relating to in-water surveys. Regulatory authorities may have recommended or accredited biofouling inspection divers. In-water cleaning and maintenance 7.5 In-water cleaning can be an important part of biofouling management. In-water cleaning can also introduce different degrees of environmental risk, depending on the nature of biofouling (i.e. microfouling versus macrofouling), the amount of anti-fouling coating system residue released and the biocidal content of the anti-fouling coating system. Relative to macrofouling, microfouling can be removed with gentler techniques that minimize degradation of the anti-fouling coating system and/or biocide release. Microfouling removal may enhance a ship's hull efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It is, therefore, recommended that the ship's hull is cleaned when practical by soft methods if significant microfouling occurs. In-water cleaning can also reduce the risk of spreading invasive aquatic species by preventing macrofouling accumulation. 7.6 It may be appropriate for States to conduct a risk assessment to evaluate the risk of in-water cleaning activities and minimize potential threats to their environment, property and resources. Risk assessment factors could include the following:

.1 biological risk of the biofouling organisms being removed from the ship (including viability of the biofouling organisms or the ability to capture biofouling material);

.2 factors that may influence biofouling accumulation, such as changes to the

operating profile of the ship; .3 geographical area that was the source of the biofouling on the ship,

if known; and .4 toxic effects related to substances within the anti-fouling coating system

that could be released during the cleaning activity, and any subsequent damage to the anti-fouling coating system.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 12

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

7.7 Personnel proposing to undertake in-water cleaning should be aware of any regulations or requirements for the conduct of in-water cleaning, including any regulations regarding the discharge of chemicals into the marine environment and the location of sensitive areas (such as marine protected areas and ballast water exchange areas). Where significant macrofouling growth is detected, it should be removed or treated (if this can be done without damaging the anti-fouling system) in accordance with such regulations. Where available, appropriate technology should be used to minimize the release of both anti-fouling coating or paint debris, and viable adult, juvenile, or reproductive stages of macrofouling organisms. The collected material should be disposed of in a manner which does not pose a risk to the aquatic environment. 7.8 For immersed areas coated with biocidal anti-fouling coatings, cleaning techniques should be used that minimize release of biocide into the environment. Cleaning heavily fouled anti-fouling coating systems can not only generate biofouling debris, but prematurely depletes the anti-fouling coating system and may create a pulse of biocide that can harm the local environment and may impact on future applications by the port authority for the disposal of dredge spoil. Depleted anti-fouling coating systems on hulls will rapidly re-foul. In-water cleaning or scrubbing of hulls for the purpose of delaying dry-dockings beyond the specified service life of the coating is, therefore, not recommended. 7.9 Immersed areas coated with biocide-free anti-fouling coating systems may require regular in-water cleaning as part of planned maintenance to maintain hull efficiency and minimize the risk of transferring invasive aquatic species. Cleaning techniques should be used which do not damage the coating and impair its function. 7.10 Any maintenance or repair activities should take care not to impede future in-service cleaning and/or maintenance, e.g., care should be taken to ensure sea chest grates do not become welded shut during repair work. 7.11 Care should be taken to ensure that any MGPSs installed are operating effectively to prevent accumulation of biofouling. 7.12 Regular polishing of uncoated propellers to maintain operational efficiency will also minimize macrofouling accumulation. Uncoated propeller shafts may require cleaning at the same time as the propeller. As a ship's routine propeller polishing will involve the use of divers, it is recommended that this opportunity is taken to assess sea chests, and other similar areas, for macrofouling. 7.13 Internal seawater cooling systems need to be regularly monitored to ensure effective biofouling control is maintained. Seawater cooling systems that operate while the ship is in port may be vulnerable to biofouling accumulation, and should be closely monitored. If seawater cooling systems become fouled, they should be appropriately treated. Any discharge of treated water from internal seawater cooling systems should be undertaken in accordance with applicable regulations. 8 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 8.1 Initial ship design and construction offers the most comprehensive, effective and durable means by which to minimize ship biofouling risks. In the design and construction of a ship, or when a ship is being significantly altered, the following should be taken into consideration:

Page 302: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 13

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.1 Small niches and sheltered areas should be excluded from the ship as far as practical, e.g., flush mounting pipes in sea chests. Where not practical, these should be designed so that they may be easily accessed for inspection, cleaning and application of anti-fouling measures.

.2 Rounding and/or bevelling of corners, gratings and protrusions to promote

more effective coverage of anti-fouling coating systems, and hinging of gratings to enable diver access.

.3 Providing the capacity to blank off the sea chest and other areas, such as

moon pools, floodable docks and other free flood spaces, for treatment and/or cleaning.

8.2 Internal seawater cooling systems should be designed and made of appropriate material to minimize biofouling and constructed with a minimum of bends, kinks and flanges in seawater piping. 8.3 To avoid creation of avoidable niches while ensuring effective safety and operation of the ship, where practical, particular attention should be given to avoidance of unfilled gaps in all skin fittings and the detailed design of the items as follows:

.1 sea chests – minimize size and number, and use smooth surfaces to maximize flow efficiency, fit MGPS, and steam or hot water cleaning systems, grills and their opening arrangements designed for in-water inspection and maintenance;

.2 retractable fittings and equipment – avoid external reinforcement (such as

stiffeners) where possible, design for in-water inspection and maintenance; .3 tunnel thrusters – tunnels to be above light water line or accessible to

divers, grills and their opening arrangements designed for in-water inspection, maintenance and operation;

.4 sponsons and hull blisters – use fully enclosed in preference to free

flooding types, with access provisions made for in-water inspection, cleaning and maintenance;

.5 stern tube seal assemblies and rope guards – design for in-water

inspection, cleaning and maintenance; and .6 immersible and seabed equipment – ensure facilities for equipment

washdown during retrieval and enclosed washdown areas for cleaning of equipment on board, if necessary, are provided.

9 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION 9.1 States are encouraged to maintain and exchange information relevant to these Guidelines through the Organization. Accordingly, States are encouraged to provide the Organization with the information related to the management of biofouling as follows:

.1 copies of current regional, national and local laws, regulations, standards, exemptions or guidelines;

Page 303: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 14

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.2 technical and research information, including any studies on the impact and control of invasive aquatic species in ships' biofouling, and on the efficacy and practicality of environmentally protective in-water cleaning technologies;

.3 education materials such as CD's, DVD's or printed materials; and .4 the location of and the terms of use for cleaning and maintenance services

and facilities for ships and equipment that comply with these Guidelines. 9.2 State authorities should provide ships with timely, clear and concise information on biofouling management measures and treatment requirements that are being applied to shipping and ensure these are widely distributed. Shipowners and operators should endeavour to become familiar with all requirements related to biofouling by requesting such information from their port or shipping agents or competent authorities (i.e. State authorities). State authorities should also provide ships with any available information on particular invasive aquatic species that may be present in a port and could attach to a ship as biofouling (e.g., if a particular species of concern is spawning) in a timely manner. 9.3 Organizations or shipping agents representing shipowners and operators should be familiar with the requirements of State authorities with respect to biofouling management and treatment procedures, including information that will be needed to obtain entry clearance. Verification and detailed information concerning State requirements should be obtained by the ship prior to arrival. 9.4 To monitor the effectiveness of these Guidelines, States, as part of the evaluation process could provide to the Organization details of records describing reasons why ships could not apply these Guidelines, e.g., design, construction or operation of a ship, particularly from the view point of ships' safety, or lack of information concerning the Guidelines. 10 TRAINING AND EDUCATION 10.1 Training for ships' masters and crews, in-water cleaning or maintenance facility operators and those surveying or inspecting ships as appropriate should include instructions on the application of biofouling management and treatment procedures, based upon the information contained in these Guidelines. Instruction should also be provided on the following:

.1 maintenance of appropriate records and logs; .2 impacts of invasive aquatic species from ships' biofouling; .3 benefits to the ship of managing biofouling and the threats posed by not

applying management procedures; .4 biofouling management measures and associated safety procedures; and .5 relevant health and safety issues.

10.2 States and industry organizations should ensure that relevant marine training organizations are aware of these Guidelines and include this in their syllabuses as appropriate.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 26, page 15

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

11 OTHER MEASURES 11.1 To the extent practical, States and port authorities should aim to ensure smooth flow of ships going in and out of their ports to avoid keeping ships waiting offshore so that anti-fouling systems can operate as effectively as possible. 11.2 States may apply other measures on ships within their jurisdiction for the purpose of providing additional protection for their marine environment, or in emergency situations. In managing emergency situations for biofouling, States should consider the guidance document for ballast water emergency situations (BWM.2/Circ.17). 11.3 States should take into account these Guidelines when developing other measures and/or restrictions for managing ships' biofouling. 11.4 Where other measures are being applied, States should notify the Organization of the specific requirements, with supporting documentation, for dissemination to other States and non-governmental agencies where appropriate. 11.5 The application of other measures by States should not place the safety of the ship and crew at risk. 12 FUTURE WORK Research needs 12.1 States and other interested parties should encourage and support research into, and development of technologies for:

.1 minimizing and/or managing both macrofouling and microfouling particularly in niche areas (e.g., new or different anti-fouling systems and different designs for niche areas to minimize biofouling);

.2 in-water cleaning that ensures effective management of the anti-fouling

system, biofouling and other contaminants, including effective capture of biological material;

.3 comprehensive methods for assessing the risks associated with in-water

cleaning; .4 shipboard monitoring and detection of biofouling; .5 reducing the macrofouling risk posed by the dry-docking support strips,

(e.g., alternative keel block designs that leave less uncoated hull area); .6 the geographic distribution of biofouling invasive aquatic species; and .7 the rapid response to invasive aquatic species incursions, including

diagnostic tools and eradication methods. 12.2 Potential operational benefits of such technologies should also be highlighted and relevant information provided to the Organization.

ANNEX

2011 GUIDELINES FOR INSPECTION OF ANTI-FOULING SYSTEMS ON SHIPS 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The right of the port State to conduct inspections of anti-fouling systems on ships is in Article 11 of the AFS Convention. The guidelines for conducting these inspections are described below. 1.2 Ships of 400 gross tonnage and above engaged in international voyages (excluding fixed or floating platforms, FSUs and FPSOs) will be required to undergo an initial survey before the ship is put into service or before the International Anti-fouling System Certificate (IAFS) is issued for the first time; and a survey should be carried out when the anti-fouling systems are changed or replaced. 1.3 Ships of 24 metres in length or more but less than 400 gross tonnage engaged in international voyages (excluding fixed or floating platforms, FSUs and FPSOs) will have to carry a Declaration on Anti-fouling Systems signed by the owner or authorized agent. Such declaration shall be accompanied by appropriate documentation (such as a paint receipt or a contractor invoice) or contain appropriate endorsement. 2 INITIAL INSPECTION 2.1 Ships required to carry an IAFS Certificate or Declaration on Anti-Fouling

Systems (Parties of the AFS Convention) 2.1.1 The PSCO should check the validity of the IAFS Certificate or Declaration on Anti-Fouling Systems, and the attached Record of Anti-Fouling Systems, if appropriate. 2.1.2 The only practical way to apply paint to the ship's bottom (underwater part) is in a dry dock. This means that the date of application of paint on the IAFS Certificate should be checked by comparing the period of dry-docking with the date on the certificate. 2.1.3 If the paint has been applied during a scheduled dry-dock period, it has to be registered in the ship's logbook (in order to be legal). Furthermore, this scheduled dry-docking can be verified by the endorsement date on the (statutory) Safety Construction Certificate (SOLAS, regulation I/10). 2.1.4 In case of an unscheduled dry-dock period, it could be verified by the registration in the ship's logbook (in order to be legal). 2.1.5 It can be additionally verified by the endorsement date on the (Class) Hull Certificate, the dates on the Manufacturer's Declaration or by confirmation of the shipyard. 2.1.6 The IAFS Certificate includes a series of tick boxes indicating:

.1 if an anti-fouling system controlled under Annex 1 of the AFS Convention has or has not been applied, removed or been covered with a sealer coat;

.2 if an anti-fouling system controlled under Annex 1 of the AFS Convention

was applied on the ship prior to 1 January 2003 or a later date if specified by the Administration; and

Page 318: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 3

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.3 if an anti-fouling system controlled under Annex 1 of the AFS Convention was applied on the ship on/after 1 January 2003 or a later date if specified by the Administration.

2.1.7 Particular attention should be given to verifying that the survey for issuance of the current IAFS Certificate matches the dry-dock period listed in the ship's log(s) and that only one tick box is marked. 2.1.8 The Record of Anti-Fouling Systems should be attached to the IAFS Certificate and be up to date. The most recent record should agree with the tick box on the front of the IAFS Certificate. 2.2 Ships of non-Parties to the AFS Convention 2.2.1 Ships of non-Parties to the AFS Convention are not entitled to be issued with an IAFS Certificate. Therefore the PSCO should ask for documentation that contains the same information as in an IAFS Certificate and take this into account in determining compliance with the requirements. 2.2.2 If the existing anti-fouling system is declared not to be controlled under Annex 1 of the Convention, without being documented by an International Anti-Fouling System Certificate, verification should be carried out to confirm that the anti-fouling system complies with the requirements of the Convention. This verification may be based on sampling and/or testing and/or reliable documentation, as deemed necessary, based on experience gained and the existing circumstances. Documentation for verification could be, e.g., MSDSs (Material Safety Data Sheets), or similar, a declaration of compliance from the anti-fouling system manufacturer, invoices from the shipyard and/or the anti-fouling system manufacturer. 2.2.3 Ships of non-Parties may have Statements of Compliance issued in order to comply with regional requirements, for example, Regulation (EC) 782/2003 as amended by Regulation (EC) 536/2008, which could be considered as providing sufficient evidence of compliance. 2.2.4 In all other aspects the PSCO should be guided by the procedures for ships required to carry an IAFS Certificate. 2.2.5 The PSCO should ensure that no more favourable treatment is applied to ships of non-Parties to the AFS Convention. 3 MORE DETAILED INSPECTION 3.1 Clear ground 3.1.1 A more detailed inspection may be carried out when there has been clear grounds to believe that the ship does not substantially meet the requirements of the AFS Convention. Clear grounds for a more detailed inspection may be when:

.1 the ship is from a flag of a non-Party to the Convention and there is no AFS documentation;

.2 the ship is from a flag of a Party to the Convention but there is no valid

IAFS Certificate; .3 the painting date shown on the IAFS Certificate does not match the

dry-dock period of the ship;

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 4

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

.4 the ship's hull shows excessive patches of different paints; and .5 the IAFS Certificate is not properly completed.

3.1.2 If the IAFS Certificate is not properly completed, the following questions may be pertinent:

.1 "When was the ship's anti-fouling system last applied?";

.2 "If the anti-fouling system is controlled under Annex 1 to the AFS Convention and was removed, what was the name of the facility and date of the work performed?";

.3 "If the anti-fouling system is controlled under Annex 1 of the AFS Convention

and has been covered by a sealer coat, what was the name of the facility and date applied?";

.4 "What is the name of the anti-fouling/sealer products and the manufacturer

or distributor for the existing anti-fouling system?"; and

.5 "If the current anti-fouling system was changed from the previous system, what was the type of anti-fouling system and name of the previous manufacturer or distributor?".

3.2 Sampling 3.2.1 A more detailed inspection may include sampling and analysis of the ship's anti-fouling system, if necessary, to establish whether or not the ship complies with the AFS Convention. Such sampling and analysis may involve the use of laboratories and detailed scientific testing procedures. 3.2.2 If sampling is carried out, the time to process the samples cannot be used as a reason to delay the ship. 3.2.3 Any decision to carry out sampling should be subject to practical feasibility or to constraints relating to the safety of persons, the ship or the port (see appendix 1 for sampling procedures; an AFS Inspection Report template for sampling and analysis is attached to the Guidelines). 3.3 Action taken under the AFS Convention Detention 3.3.1 The port State could decide to detain the ship following detection of deficiencies during an inspection on board. 3.3.2 Detention could be appropriate in any of the following cases:

.1 certification is invalid or missing;

.2 the ship admits it does not comply (thereby removing the need to prove by sampling); and

.3 sampling proves it is non-compliant within the ports jurisdiction.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 5

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

3.3.3 Further action would depend on whether the problem is with the certification or the anti-fouling system itself. 3.3.4 If there are no facilities in the port of detention to bring the ship into compliance, the port State could allow the ship to sail to another port to bring the anti-fouling system into compliance. This would require an agreement of that port. Dismissal 3.3.5 The port State could dismiss the ship, meaning that the port State demands that the ship leaves port – for example if the ship chooses not to bring the AFS into compliance but the port State is concerned that the ship is leaching tributyltin (TBTs) into its waters. 3.3.6 Dismissal could be appropriate if the ship admits it does not comply or sampling proves it is non-compliant while the ship is still in port. Since this would also be a detainable deficiency the PSCO can detain first and require rectification before release. However, there may not be available facilities for rectification in the port of detention. In this case the port State could allow the ship to sail to another port to bring the anti-fouling system into compliance. This could require agreement of that port. 3.3.7 Dismissal could be appropriate in any of the following cases:

.1 certification is invalid or missing;

.2 the ship admits it does not comply (thereby removing the need to collect proof by sampling; and

.3 sampling proves that the ship is non-compliant within the ports jurisdiction.

3.3.8 In these cases the ship will probably already have been detained. However, detention does not force the ship to bring the AFS into compliance (only if it wants to depart). In such a situation the port State may be concerned that the ship is leaching TBTs while it remains in its waters. Exclusion 3.3.9 The port State could decide to exclude the ship to prevent it entering its waters. Exclusion could be appropriate if sampling proves that the ship is non-compliant but the results have been obtained after it has sailed or after it has been dismissed. 3.3.10 Exclusion could be appropriate if sampling proves that the ship is non-compliant but the results have been obtained after it has sailed or after it has been dismissed. Article 11(3) of the AFS Convention only mentions that the "party carrying out the inspection" may take such steps. This means that, if a port State excludes a ship, the exclusion cannot be automatically applied by other port States. 3.3.11 In accordance with Procedures for Port State Control (resolution A.787(19), as amended), where deficiencies cannot be remedied at the port of inspection, the PSCO may allow the ship to proceed to another port, subject to any appropriate conditions determined. In such circumstances, the PSCO should ensure that the competent authority of the next port of call and the flag State are notified.

Reporting to flag State 3.3.12 Article 11(3) of the AFS Convention requires that when a ship is detained, dismissed or excluded from a port for violation of the Convention, the Party taking such action shall immediately inform the flag Administration of the ship and any Recognized Organization which has issued a relevant certificate. 4 AFS REPORT TO FLAG STATE IN RESPONSE TO ALLEGED CONTRAVENTIONS 4.1 Article 11(4) of the AFS Convention allows Parties to inspect ships at the request of another Party, if sufficient evidence that the ship is operating or has operated in violation of the Convention is provided. Article 12(2) permits port States conducting the inspection to send the Administration (flag State) of the ship concerned any information and evidence it has that a violation has occurred. Information sent to the flag State is often inadequate for a prosecution. The following paragraphs detail the sort of information needed. 4.2 The report to the authorities of the port or coastal State should include as much as possible the information listed in section 3. The information in the report should be supported by facts which, when considered as a whole, would lead the port or coastal State to believe a contravention had occurred. 4.3 The report should be supplemented by documents such as:

.1 the port State report on deficiencies;

.2 a statement by the PSCO, including his rank and organization, about the suspected non-conforming anti-fouling system. In addition to the information required in section 3, the statement should include the grounds the PSCO had for carrying out a more detailed inspection;

.3 a statement about any sampling of the anti-fouling system including:

.1 the ship's location;

.2 where the sample was taken from the hull, including the vertical

distance from the boot topping;

.3 the time of sampling;

.4 person(s) taking the samples; and

.5 receipts identifying the persons having custody and receiving transfer of the samples;

.4 reports of the analyses of any samples including:

.1 the results of the analyses;

.2 the method employed;

.3 reference to or copies of scientific documentation attesting the

accuracy and validity of the method employed;

.4 the names of persons performing the analyses and their experience; and

.5 a description of the quality assurance measures of the analyses;

.5 statements of persons questioned;

.6 statements of witnesses;

.7 photographs of the hull and sample areas; and

.8 a copy of the IAFS Certificate, including copies of relevant pages of the

Record of Anti-fouling Systems, log books, MSDS or similar, declaration of compliance from the anti-fouling system manufacturer, invoices from the shipyard and other dry dock records pertaining to the anti-fouling system.

4.4 All observations, photographs and documentation should be supported by a signed verification of their authenticity. All certifications, authentications or verifications should be in accordance with the laws of the State preparing them. All statements should be signed and dated by the person making them, with their name printed clearly above or below the signature. 4.5 The reports referred to under paragraphs 2 and 3 of this section should be sent to the flag State. If the coastal State observing the contravention and the port State carrying out the investigation on board are not the same, the port State carrying out the investigation should also send a copy of its findings to the coastal State.

APPENDIX 1

SAMPLING Considerations related to brief sampling may be found in section 2.1 of Guidelines for brief sampling of anti-fouling systems on ships (resolution MEPC.104(49)). Any obligation to take a sample should be subject to practical feasibility or to constraints relating to the safety of persons, the ship or the port. The PSCO should consider the following:

- liaise with the ship on the location and time needed to take samples; the PSCO should verify that the time required will not unduly prevent the loading/unloading, movement or departure of the ship;

- do not expect the ship to arrange safe access but liaise with the ship over the

arrangements that the port State competent authority has made, for example boat, cherry-picker, staging, etc.;

- select sampling points covering representative areas;

- take photographs of the hull, sample areas and sampling process;

- avoid making judgements on the quality of the paint (e.g., surface, condition,

thickness, application);

- the need of inviting the ship representative's presence during brief sampling to ensure that the evidence is legally obtained;

- complete and sign the inspection report form together with the included

sampling record sheets (to be filled in by the sampler), as far as possible, and leave a copy with the ship as a proof of inspection/sampling;

- inform the next port State where the inspected ship is to call;

- agree with or advise the ship on to whom the ship's copy of the finalized

inspection report will be sent in cases when it cannot be completed in the course of the inspection; and

- ensure that receipts identifying the persons having custody and receiving

transfer of the samples accompany the samples are filled in to reflect the transfer chain of the samples. PSCOs are reminded that the procedures set in national legislation regarding custody of evidence are not affected by the regulation. These guidelines therefore do not address this issue in detail.

1 Sampling methodologies It is to the discretion of the port State to choose the sampling methodology. The Guidelines for brief sampling of anti-fouling systems on ships adopted by resolution MEPC.104(49) allow that any other scientifically recognized method of sampling and analysis of AFS controlled by the Convention than those described in the appendix to the Guidelines may be used (subject to the satisfaction of the Administration or the port State). The sampling methodology will depend, inter alia, on the surface hardness of the paint, which may vary considerably. The amount of paint mass removed may vary correspondingly.

Page 324: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 9

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

Sampling procedures, based on the removal of paint material from the hull, require the determination of paint mass. It is important that procedures used are validated, produce unambiguous results and contain an adequate control. The competent port State authority can decide to contract specialist companies to carry out sampling. In this case the PSCO should attend the ship during the sampling procedure to ensure the liaison and arrangements mentioned above are in place. If a specialist company is not used, the port State competent authority should provide appropriate training to the PSCO in the available sampling methods and procedures and ensure that agreed procedures are followed. The following general terms should be observed:

- the PSCO should choose a number of sample points preferably covering all the representative areas of the hull, but it is desirable to have at least eight (8) sample points equally spaced down and over the length of the hull, if possible divided over PS and SB (keeping in mind that different parts of the hull may be treated with different anti-fouling systems);

- triplicate specimens of paint at each sampling point should be taken in close

proximity to each other on the hull (e.g., within 10 cm of each other);

- contamination of the samples should be avoided, which normally includes the wearing of non-sterilized non-powdered disposable gloves of suitable impervious material – e.g., nitrile rubber;

- the samples should be collected and stored in an inert container

(e.g., containers should not consist of materials containing organotins or have the capacity to absorb organotins);

- samples should be taken from an area where the surface of the anti-fouling

system is intact, clean and free of fouling;

- loose paint chips coming from detached, peeled or blistered hull areas should not be used for sampling;

- samples should not be taken from a heated or area where the paint is

otherwise softened (e.g., heavy fuel tanks); and

- the underlying layers (primers, sealers, TBT containing AFS) should not be sampled if there is no clear evidence of exposure of extended areas.

2 Validity of the sampling In order to safeguard the validity of the sampling as evidence of non-compliance, the following should be considered:

- only samples taken directly from the hull and free of possible contamination should be used;

- all samples should be stored in containers, marked and annotated on the

record sheet. This record sheet should be submitted to the Administration;

Page 325: HRVATSKI REGISTAR BRODOVA OKRUŽNICA - Naslovna · 2011-10-03 · zahtjeva na preinake tankera s jednostrukom oplatom u tankere s dvostrukom oplatom ili u brodove za prijevoz rasutog

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 10

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

- the receipts identifying the persons having custody and receiving transfer of the samples should be filled in and accompany the samples to reflect the transfer chain of the samples;

- the PSCO should verify the validity of the instrument's calibration validity date

(according to the manufacturer instruction);

- in cases when a contracted specialist company is used for carrying out sampling, the PSCO should accompany its representative to verify sampling; and

- photographs of the hull, sample areas and sampling process could serve as

additional proof. It is also the case that sampling companies and/or procedures can be certified. 3 Health and safety when sampling Any obligation to take a sample should be subject to practical feasibility or any constraints relating to the safety of persons, the ship or the port. The PSCO is advised to ensure their safety taking the following points into account:

- general requirements enforced by the terminal or port authority and national health, safety and environmental policy;

- condition of the ship (ballast condition, ship's operations, mooring, anchorage,

etc.);

- surroundings (position of ship, traffic, ships movement, quay operations, barges or other floating vessels alongside);

- safety measures for the use of access equipment (platforms, cherry picker,

staging, ladders, railings, climbing harness, etc.), e.g., ISO 18001;

- weather (sea state, wind, rain, temperature, etc.); and

- precautions to avoid falling into the water between the quay and the ship. If in doubt, a lifejacket and if possible a safety line, should be worn when sampling.

Any adverse situation encountered during sampling that could endanger the safety of personnel, shall be reported to the safety coordinator. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the removed paint with the skin and the eyes, and no particles should be swallowed or come into contact with foodstuffs. Eating or drinking during sampling is prohibited and hands should be cleaned afterwards. Persons carrying out sampling should be aware that the AFS and solvents or other materials used for sampling may be harmful and appropriate precautions should be taken. Personal protection should be considered by using long sleeve solvent-resistant gloves, dust mask, safety glasses, etc. Standard (and specific, if applicable) laboratory safety procedures should be followed at all times when undertaking the sampling procedures and subsequent analysis.

4 Conducting analyses The Guidelines for brief sampling of anti-fouling systems on ships envisage a two-stage analysis of samples for both methods presented in the appendix to the Guidelines. The first stage is a basic test, which can be carried out on site as in the case of Method 2. The second stage is carried out when the first stage results are positive. It is noted that in the IMO Guidelines, these stages are referred to as Steps 1 and 2 as in the case of Method 1. It is to the discretion of the port State competent authorities to choose which analysis methods are used. The following points are presented for port State consideration:

- approval procedure for the recognition of laboratories meeting ISO 17025 standards or other appropriate facilities should be set up by the port State competent authorities. These procedures should define the recognition criteria. Exchange of information between port States on these procedures, criteria and laboratories/facilities would be beneficial, i.e. for the purposes of exchange of best practices and possible cross-border recognition and provision of services;

- the company that undertakes the analysis and/or samples should comply with

national regulations and be independent from paint manufacturers;

- the PSCO carrying out the AFS inspection of a ship should verify the validity of the ISO 17025 certificate and/or the recognition of the laboratory;

- if more time is needed for analysis than available considering the ship's

scheduled time of departure, the PSCO shall inform the ship and report the situation to the port State competent authority. However, the time needed for analysis does not warrant undue delay of the ship; and

- PSCOs should ensure completion of the record sheets for the sampling

procedure as proof of analysis. In cases when the laboratory procedures prescribe presentation of the analyses' results in a different format, this technical report could be added to the record sheets.

5 The first-stage analysis The first-stage analysis serves to detect the total amount of tin in the AFS applied. It is to the discretion of the port State competent authority to choose the first-stage analysis methodology. However, the use of a portable X-ray fluorescence analyser (mentioned under Method 2) or any other scientifically justified method allowing the conduction of first-stage analyses on site could be considered best practice. The port State competent authority has to decide whether the first-stage analysis should be carried out by PSCOs or by contracted companies. The port State competent authority could provide PSCOs with this equipment (e.g., portable X-ray fluorescence analyser) and provide the appropriate training.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 27, page 12

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

6 The second-stage analysis The second-stage (final) analysis is used to verify whether or not the AFS system complies with the Convention requirements, i.e. whether organotin compounds are present in the AFS at a level which would act as a biocide. The port State could consider implementing only a second-stage analysis. It is to the discretion of the Authority to choose the second-stage analysis methodology. In this respect it is hereby noted that the second-stage analysis methodology for sampling Method 2 provided in the Guidelines is only tentative and "should be thoroughly reviewed by experts based on scientific evidence" (section 5.1 of Method 2). 7 Conclusions on compliance The Authority should only make conclusions on compliance based on the second-stage analysis of the sample (organotin). In case the results indicate non-compliance at that stage, there are clear grounds to take further steps. If considered necessary, more thorough sampling can be also carried out in addition or instead of brief sampling. Sampling results should be communicated as soon as possible to the vessel (as part of the inspection report) and in the case of non-compliance also to the flag State and Recognized Organization acting on behalf of the flag State if relevant. Authorities should, in accordance with section 5.2 of the Guidelines for brief sampling of anti-fouling systems on ships, develop and adopt procedures to be followed for those cases where compliance with acceptable limits or lack thereof, is unclear, considering additional sampling or other methodologies for sampling.

Table 1: Regression formulae derived from the consolidated database

Dataset f(V)=Total Spill Cost (TSC) (2009 US dollars)

Reference

All spills 67,275 V 0.5893 MEPC 62/INF.24 V>0.1 tonnes 42,301 V 0.7233 MEPC 62/181

FSA analysts are free to use other conversion formulae, so long as these are well documented by the data. For example, if an FSA is considering only small spills, the submitter may filter the data and perform his or her own regression analysis. 3. It is recommended that the FSA analyst use the following formula to estimate the societal oil spill costs (SC) used in the analysis:

VfFFSC yUncertaAssurancethreshold int This equation considers:

1. Assurance factor (FAssurance): allowing for society's willingness to pay to avert accidents;

2. Uncertainty factor (FUncertainty): allowing for uncertainties in the cost

information from occurred spill accidents; and

3. Volume-dependent total cost function (f(V)): representing the fact that the cost per

unit oil spilled decreases with the spill size in US$ per tonne oil spilled.

The values of both assurance and uncertainty factors should be well documented. In order to consider the large scatter, the FSA analyst may perform a regression to determine a function f(V) that covers a percentile different than 50 % and document it in the report. 4. Application in RCO evaluation The FSA analyst should perform a cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness evaluation of the RCOs identified and provide all relevant details in the report, as outlined below. 4.1 RCOs affecting oil spills only

In case an RCO affects oil spills only:

RCO is cost effective if C < SC

C = Expected cost of the RCO

SC = (Expected SC without the RCO) – (Expected SC with the RCO) = Expected benefit of the RCO

1 Updated regression made on the final consolidated dataset.

MEPC 62/24/Add.1 Annex 31, page 3

I:\MEPC\62\24-Add-1.doc

4.2 RCOs affecting both safety and environment In case of RCOs addressing both safety and environment the following formula is recommended: NCAF = ( C – SC) / PLL In the above,

C = Expected cost of the RCO SC = (Expected SC without the RCO) – (Expected SC with the RCO) =

Expected benefit of the RCO PLL = Expected reduction of fatalities due to the RCO

The criteria for NCAF are as per table 2 of appendix 7 of document MSC 83/INF.2. In case there is an economic benefit ( B), C should be replaced by C- B. It is also emphasized that all cost and benefit components of the cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness inequality should be shown in an FSA study for better transparency. The user is free to develop new approaches taking into account the objectives of the FSA. 5. Index for environmental criteria The table below should be inserted in Appendix 4 (paragraph 3) of the FSA Guidelines

Severity Index SI SEVERITY DEFINITION 1 Category 1 Oil spill size < 1 tonne 2 Category 2 Oil spill size between 1-10 tonnes 3 Category 3 Oil spill size between 10-100 tonnes 4 Category 4 Oil spill size between 100-1,000 tonnes 5 Category 5 Oil spill size between 1,000-10,000 tonnes 6 Category 6 Oil spill size >10,000 tonnes
