Part I General Information

• Introduction of MARPOL Annex VI
• Annex VI-Technical and Operational implications
• FO standards Fuel Properties and Effects

5
Why Annex VI?

• Air pollution from ships in the world
• The ships part of air pollution represents only
  1.8 of global air pollution from CO2/CO2
  equivalents
• Shipping transports more than 65 of all goods
  ------due to very energy efficient!

6
But

• The ships air pollution increases compared to
  other sources
• SO2/SOX 78 of land based releases
  in 2001
• NOx 68 of land based releases in
  2001
• Therefore
• International agreements (conventions/regional)
• IMO (MARPLO annex VI)
• EU regulations
• EPA (US)

7
Annex VI Introduction

• NOx engine emission levels-- regulation 13
• SO x -- regulation 14
• Sulphur capacity
  4.5
• Sox emission control area (SECA0
  1.5
• End of pipe treatment alternative
  6g sox/KWH
• Vapour control system for tankers --regulation 15
• Ozone depleting substances --regulation 12
• Incinerators --regulation 16
• Fuel oil quality --regulation 18

International Air Pollution Prevention
Certificate-IAPP

• Required for vessels of 400 GRT and above
• Keel laid on or after 19 may 2005
• Ships keel laid before 19 may 2005 shall have
  certificate at first scheduled dry docking, or no
  later then 3 years after into force
• The IAPP certificate will be issued following an
  initial survey carried out by the Flag
• Administration or by a recognized organization
  (e.g. DNV) on behalf of the Flag Administration,
  confirming compliance with MARPOL Annex VI. For
  ships with the flag of an Administration that
  have not yet ratified Annex VI, a Certificate of
  Compliance with Annex VI may be issued by DNV.
• Annex VI also requires diesel engines (as
  described above) to carry individual certificates
  with regard to NOx emissions, named Engine
  International Air Pollution Prevention (EIAPP)
  Certificates.

9
Annex VI Surveys

• Vessel shall be subject to
• An initial survey
• before the ship is put into service or before the
  IAPP Certificate is issued for the first time.
• Periodical surveys
• at intervals specified by the Administration, but
  not exceeding five years.
• A minimum of one intermediate survey
• during the period of validity of the certificate.

10
Annex VI Requirements

• Regulation 12
• Emissions from Ozone depleting substances from
  refrigerating plants and fire fighting equipment.
• Regulation 13
• Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel
  engines
• Regulation 14
• Sulphur Oxide (SOx) emissions from ships

11
Annex VI Requirements

• Regulation 15
• Volatile Organic compounds emissions from cargo
  oil tanks of oil tankers
• Regulation 16
• Emissions from shipboard incinerators.
• Regulation 18
• Fuel Oil quality.
