TERNTANK REDERI A/S
In short :
Terntank was founded in 1958 on the island of Donsö, Sweden. A private, family-owned company. Commercial head office in Skagen, Denmark from 2009. We own and operate 10 ice-classed tanker vessels btw 8,000
and– 15,000 dwt. Primary markets are the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. ”First Movers” for various shipping technologies. We employ approx. 250 people in total onboard our vessels and

SULPHUR EMISSION CONTROL AREA (SECA)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) are sea areas where there are str icter
requirements for used bunker fuel compared to other sea areas. SECA i s defined in MARPOL Annex VI . The area includes North Sea, Balt ic Sea, and within 24 miles of Cal ifornia coast.[1] Also other areas may be added via protocol defined in Annex VI .
Original ly the protocol which init ial ly defined SECA was adopted in 1997 and it was enforced in May 2005. The North Sea was included in SECA in July 2005 and enforced in August 2007.
MAJOR TRADING AREA
CHOICE OF FUEL/TECHNOLOGY
CHOICE OF FUEL/TECHNOLOGY
All of the analysis resulted in that we ordered new buildings with :
New innovative low-speed two-stroke dual-fuel engine of Wärtsi lä New combined Catamizer (catalyzer/exhaust gas boi ler/inert gas system) of Swedish Gesab Energy eff icient vessel design (Rol ls-Royce Marine AS, Norway ) Main engine meets IMO’s lower NOX Tier I I I l imit without addit ional exhaust gas treatment Increased propel ler diameter
RIGHT NOW WE AND AVIC DINGHENG SHIPYARD ARE BUILDING
THE WORLD’S MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TANKERS
TERNTANK PRESENTS THE FUTURE

WHAT DO CRUISE LINES WANT FROM PORTS?

CRUISE MARITIME VOYAGES (GLOBAL MARITIME GROUP)
BACKGROUND
Every day, on every ship at sea, as well as the cargo, millions of marine organisms are also transported, having been taken onboard when ballast water was loaded.
Some of these organisms
establish themselves in their
newly found “homes” and are
referred to as nuisance,
nonindigenous or
invasive aquatic species.
18
“a nonindigenous species that threatens the diversity or abundance of native species or the ecological stability of infested waters, or commercial, agricultural, aquacultural or recreational activities dependent on such waters”.
Not all nonindigenous species (NIS) survive and not all survivors become invasive, but the few that do can cause enormous damage, both to the economy and to the environment
Invasive aquatic species are one of the four greatest threats to the world’s oceans (GLOBALLAST)
Some examples are ...
THE PROBLEM
Asian phytoplankton algae Odontella in the North Sea in 1903, led scientists to recognise that a nonindigenous species could be accidentally introduced to a new area
It took until the 1970s for the scientific community to begin a detailed review of the issue
The issue of nuisance species or aquatic organisms in ballast water was first raised at the IMO in 1988 and, since then, the MEPC, the MSC and technical sub-committees have been aware of the problem and have issued guidance and appropriate conventions to combat the dangers of transporting nonindigenous species in ships’ ballast water.
NONINDIGENOUS SPECIES
North American comb jelly in Black Sea
Water flee
European green crab
Seaweed – Asian kelp
Diseases - Cholera
NONINDIGENOUS SPECIES
Great Lakes - zebra mussel
Has already cost the Canadian and US authorities over 10 billion dollars
Round gobby - fish
NONINDIGENOUS SPECIES
Chinese Mitten Crab
Burrows into river banks and dykes causing erosion, siltation and instability to riverbanks
RECIPE
NONINDIGENOUS SPECIES
In the late 1980s, Canada and Australia were among the countries experiencing particular problems with unwanted species and expressed concerns to the MEPC
In 1989, Canada issued guidelines for voluntary ballast water exchange
The first piece of US legislation designed to prevent the introduction of invasive aquatic species and control their dispersal was the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANPCA).
BRIEF HISTORY OF ACTIONS ...
Following the Rio conference in 1992, where the problem of managing ballast water was first raised, international guidelines were drawn up in 1993 and updated in 1997. This culminated in the adoption in February 2004 of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention).
Globallast was created in 2000 to assist underdeveloped states
Many countries have taken own action and have implemented interim and long term regulations
BRIEF HISTORY OF ACTIONS ...
THE BWM CONVENTION 2004
SEQUENTIAL – empty and fil l
FLOW THROUGH – run water through; 98% achieved with 3 volume changes (requirement stated as 97%)
There are issues with both methods
BALLAST WATER EXCHANGE
Distance: Open ocean and not less than 200 nm from nearest land
Where 200 nm is not practicable, then at least 50 nm
Depth: More than 200 metres
Where above is not practicable, ships shall use designated exchange zones established in the regions base on a route -based risk assessment approach
Deviation may be required in some cases for exchange
EXCHANGE AT SEA GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
THE BWM CONVENTION 2004
STANDARDS
US has set own rules; though similar, but there are different words used US is not party to the Convention
The Convention also includes a number of guidelines – prefixed “G” – which are issued and revised from time to time as per MEPC outcome. G8 being the most significant – guidelines for approval
Around 60 Systems designed
Include
Filtration
Active substance based
Non-Active substance based
Inerting – oxygen depletion
Ultra Voilet
Pressure
... and many more
TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Port States have to manage two issues:
Monitoring and enforcement
dissemination of information.
ROLE OF PORT STATES
Taking ballast water and sediment samples
analysing samples obtained to test for the continued survival of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens
refusing to allow discharge of ballast water into the environment
ordering ships to discharge ballast to a reception facil ity (where available)
undertaking prosecutions and imposing penalties in cases of violations
applying the Port State’s contingency strategy where harmful aquatic organisms or pathogens are found to be present in the samples.
ROLE OF PORT STATES
Convention comes into force 08 September 2017
Some approved systems are available
Production of systems may not meet demand
Excessive load on new and retrofit intallations
US plans to revise performance standards in 5 years
Shipowners bringing forward renewal of IOPP Certificate
Yards foresee installation/retrofit rush during 2021/2022
Classification Societies foresee a massive surge in surveys around 2021/2022 covering both IOPP and BWM
CRITICAL ISSUES
Any questions
Unfortunately - we stil l may not have all the answers
Thank you for listening
