International regulations
Secure even playing field for
Norwegian flagged ships IMO
EU
Norwegian regulatory regime on emissions to air
- only international regulations apply• MARPOL Annex VI
– Sulphur content in fuel oil (Reg.14)
– NOx emissions from marine diesel engines (Reg.13)
– Energy efficiency (Reg.20, 21, 22)
• EU directive as regards the sulphur content of marine fuels
– Maximum sulphur content of marine fuels used by ships at berth in Union ports
– Passenger ships operating on regular services to or from any Union port
• EU Implementing decision on frequency of sampling of marine fuels being used on board ships
06.05.2015
MARPOL Annex VI – SOx and PM
• General requirements
The sulphur content of any fuel oil shallnot exceed
• 3,50%
• 0,50% (1 January 2020)
• Requirements within Emission Control
Areas
The sulphur content of any fuel oil shallnot exceed
• 0,10% on and after 1.January 2015
The Norwegian coast up to 62oN is an Emission Control Area for SOx
06.05.2015
Energy efficiency for ships
• The regulations on energy efficiency for ships entered into force January 1st 2013 for international shipping:
Energy Efficiency Design Index
– ‘CO2 index for new ships’
Ship Energy Efficiency Management
Plan (SEEMP)
– A plan on how to lower the fuel oil consumption on board
• These regulations will enter into force for domestic vessels in Norway from July 1st 2015
Projections of international shippings CO2-
emissions (data from IMO 3rd GHG study 2014)
06.05.2015
Estimated effect of the regulations on energy efficiency for ships
06.05.2015
MARPOL Annex VI – NOx
• Tier I, January 1st 2000
• Tier II, January 1st 2011
• Tier III, January 1st 2016*
– Only in ECA for ‘new ships’
– New NOx-ECAs:
• North Sea area?
• Baltic Sea area?
– The date(s) for any new NOx ECA will be the adoption dateof the amendment, or specifiedin the amendments
06.05.2015
*Only the North American ECA which currently has NOx
included along with SOx
LNG: The fuel for the future
Three important drivers
• A clean fuel
– Can meet the IMO tier 3 requirements on emissions
• Economical
– LNG has the potential to be economical competitive to heavy fuel oil (HFO)
• Quantity
– The predicted amount of natural gas is huge . May last for the next 1000
years if Gas Hydrates are included

Norwegian flag
Norway – a leading LNG nation
• Long experience
• Broad range of
specialists
• Well developed
distribution system
• Large fleet – 46 ships
• Several newbuildings
• International interest

LNG - The fuel for the future
Challenges:
– Supply chain and
availability of
bunkering
stations
5/6/2015
Development driven by innovative ship-ownersand political framework
06.05.2015
Incentives in Norway
Environmental effect is the main driver, implemented by:
– Political decisions on public transport in1996(ferries)
– Charterer agreements – NOx reduction exchange (supply ships)
– Coastguard (5 ships)
– Emission tax on NOx ~ NOK 19,1 pr. kg, or;
– Alternatively: Owners can join the private NOx fund and only pay
NOK 4,00 pr. kg and be able to re-allocate funds when investing
in low NOx technology, new diesel engines, LNG engines,
Selective catalytic reduction systems (SCR) etc.

Terminal
Bunkering of LNG
• From tanks at LNG plants
• From tank farms, refilled by
gas tanker and/or trailer
• From trailers on quay/terminal

Operational experience with LNG in Norway
Viking Energy – Eidesvik
• Viking Energy: 13 years
operation without one
hour off-hire caused by
the gas system
• Gas mode in 97 % of total
energy production time
• ~18% reduction in operation
and maintenance cost
5/6/2015
Is LNG dangerous?
• The amount of energy is enormous• Odorless and colorless at room temperature
• -162 deg. C - special material requirements
• No reported accidents in Norway
With the correct set of rules and regulations and close supervision, LNG is a safe fuel

International regulations – the IGF Code
5/6/2015
• 2004 Proposal from Norway to develop Gas Code
• 2009 Interim Guidelines adopted in June 2009
Resolution MSC.285(86)
• 2009 The development of the IGF-Code started
• 2013 It was agreed to finalize the Code for Natural
Gas as a first step.
• Approval in principle at MSC 94 November 2014
• Adoption at MSC 95 June 2015?
• Entry into force 1. January 2017?
IMO
Norwegian regulations on LNG fuelled ships
Regulation in force
– Reg. of June 17th 2002 No. 644 concerning cargo ships with natural gas
fuelled combustion engines
– Reg. of September 9th 2005 No.1218 concerning construction and
operation of gas-fuelled passenger ships
Today use of IMO Resolution MSC 285(86) Interim Guideline on safety for
natural gas-fuelled engine installations in ships is accepted as basis.
Regulations to be updated in acc. to IMO IGF-Code
