5 3 SUMMARY This document elaborates on the existing facilities and the lack of the financing mechanism for oily and greasy ship waste and other hazardous wastes in Croatia. The document also provides an analysis of stakeholder involved in the future OGSW management process along with the shortcomings of the legislative and administrative framework in Croatia. Further, the report focuses on technical, legal and administrative conditions for the implementation of a harmonized international financial model for the collection and disposal of oily and greasy waste from vessels. The report also points out to the fact that there is no legal basis for collection and management of other hazardous ship waste in Croatia. Page 5 of

6 4 TYPE OF SYSTEM As specified in the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports (OG 109/07) and subsequent amendments 1, ship waste reception facilities with related equipment can be located only within ports. There is one cargo port on the Danube, the port of Vukovar, as well as two operational passenger terminals, in Ilok and Vukovar and two additional which are currently not open for public, in Aljmaš and Batina. With regards to the OGSW reception and management facilities on the Croatian section of the Danube, the only one is located at the port of Vukovar, however, it is still temporary and not utilized. Currently, at the port of Vukovar vessels are allowed to dispose of bilge water at the reception and treatment facility installed on permanently moored vessel (PO-2-VK) owned by a private port operator, Nautica Vukovar Ltd. The equipment that is installed on the vessel, technically allowing for disposal of bilge and faecal water, is owned by the Port Authority Vukovar. The private operator, Nautica Vukovar Ltd. is obligated to obtain all required licences for the service in question. Ship bilge water is pumped and received into a tank of 80m³ volume capacity. Through an internal system, bilge water is pumped from the reception tank to oily water separator of 5 l/s capacity. The purified water, in line with the legal standards of Republic of Croatia, should then be let out into the river while the separated oil sludge remains within a containment chamber of the separator. The frequency of separator cleaning is determined by regular controls of the oil sludge quantity. Cleansing, reception and management of sludge is done by an authorised company, upon notification. Ship faecal water is being pumped and received into tank of 80m³ volume capacity. By means of an internal system, faecal water is pumped from the reception tank to a type 100 biorotor which treats faecal water biologically (bacteria-based). The purified water, in line with the legal standards of Republic of Croatia, should be let out into the river. However, temporarily, due to the lack of required permits, the disposal of purified water is not done in the described manner. Instead, it is collected by an authorized waste disposal provider. The waste in 1 Correction to the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports (OG 132/07, 51/13) Page 6 of

7 question is managed in a way prescribed by Act on Sustainable Waste Management (OG 94/13) and Ordinance on waste management (OG 23/14, 51/14). There is still no possibility of reception and management of other ship waste types at this facility, such as used oils, used grease, used filters, used rags, bundles and packaging of such waste etc. as well as other hazardous waste like: paint, varnish, solvents and the like. Waste caused by cargo (residual waste etc.) also cannot be managed at the port of Vukovar. The same applies to sludge, slops and swilling out water. Being that at the current location of the OGSW reception and management facility at the port of Vukovar construction of a new vertical quay wall is planned, it is also foreseen that a new waste water facility is included in the new construction. This new facility will be permanent. Communal solid waste from ships can only be disposed of at the passenger terminals Vukovar and Ilok. Reception and dispatch of waste is done by a local waste collection company which delivers containers for communal waste upon notification and dispatches it to city landfill site. Shipping companies are charged for the service by the Port Authority Vukovar together with the port dues invoice. The shipping company arriving at the passenger terminal has to request the waste collection services in advance in order for the waste collection company to place a container for trash disposal next to the vessel. The waste reception facilities on the Croatian section of the Danube River are listed in the table below, per waste type and locality.

8 Cargo waste Residual charges x x Washing water x x Slops x x Table 4-1: waste reception facilities on the Croatian section of the Danube River 4.1 Service fee, collection and payment The facility at the port of Vukovar is operated by the aforementioned company, Nautica Vukovar Ltd., on the basis of a commercial technical agreement with the Port Authority Vukovar. Currently, these services are not charged to the shipping companies, the cost is covered by the Port Authority Vukovar. As per the valid agreement which is in force at the moment, the costs that are born by the Port Authority Vukovar consists of a fixed monthly price (cca. 657,00 EUR + VAT) and a variable fee per ton (cca. 7,23 EUR/ton + VAT). The costs are invoiced on monthly basis. This model is not suitable for the long term period, and there are plans to introduce service fee with the construction of the new OGSW reception and management facility. There is no legal basis proscribing the definition of the fee system for any kind of ship waste collection and treatment in Croatia. Page 8 of

9 5 STAKEHOLDER INVOLVED As specified in the Financing Model for Oily and Greasy Ship Waste along the Danube 2, both national and international administrations have to be involved in the financing model development. This chapter elaborates on the national stakeholders which are proposed for delivering the following tasks, as identified in the aforementioned document: Contracting waste management companies to provide all services within the scope of collection, storage and treatment of oily ship waste as agreed within the WANDA project; Payment of invoices from the contracted waste management companies; Production and distribution of vignettes to points of sales; Contracting points of sales for the vignettes; Development and running of software for vignette sales management; Provision of information (notice of payment) to river authorities and RIS; Coordination with river authorities and RIS; Monitoring and enforcement of payment. Considering that the aforementioned document was drafted in January 2012, several operational alternatives of the vignette system were being considered at the time, such as sticker, stamp, authorization card and chip card. Since then the consortium has favoured the electronic vignette alternative, which is why some of the tasks listed above, linked to the production and distribution of physical vignettes will be disregarded in the elaboration of the involved stakeholders. The table below gives an overview of the tasks which individual national stakeholders should have in the implementation process and operation of the Financing Model. It is recommended 2 Output No: 5.15; NEA, January 2012 Page 9 of

10 to allocate these responsibilities to existing (governmental) organisations instead of setting up new organisations specifically for this purpose to keep the administrative costs as low as possible. Sector Stakeholder Relevancy/Tasks Public Port Authorities Contracting waste management companies to provide all services within the scope of collection, storage and treatment of oily ship waste as agreed within the WANDA project. According to the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports (OG 109/07, 132/07, 51/13), Art. 130, section (1), it is stated, among other items, that: Administering the port shall involve the following tasks reception of water, faecal, bilge and oily waters from vessels,. With regards to the planned infrastructure investments at the Port of Vukovar (please see point 4.1 above), at this point is not clear what authority would be responsible for the operation of the future waste collection facilities, the Port Authority itself or a concessionaire. Ministry of the Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure Port Authorities Agency for Inland Waterways Environmental authority within the structure of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction, Croatian Waters 3 Development and running of software for vignettes sales management. Provision of information (notice of payment) to river authorities and RIS. On the basis of the existing legal basis, Port Authorities should be responsible due to the fact that ship waste reception facilities with related equipment can be located only within ports, as specified in the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports. Coordination with river authorities and RIS. Agency for Inland Waterways is the relevant body in the domain of RIS, as specified in the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports Monitoring and enforcement of payment. With regards to the monitoring activities related to nature/water protection, the responsible bodies are part of the structure of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction. Croatian Waters is relevant in the field of water protection, particularly, it is the authorised body for issuing permits for waste management activities on 3 Hrvatske vode (hr.) Page 10 of

11 Ministry of the Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure bodies of water. Relevant in the field of navigation regulation. Private IWT operators IWT operators that would be affected by the financing model are motorized cargo and passenger vessels that perform professional navigation on the Danube. They would be obliged to provide their fleet with valid electronic vignettes. Skippers Obligated to dispose of ship waste using services of waste reception facilities in the electronic vignette system. Waste collection companies The waste collection company operating the future facilities that are planned to be built at the Port of Vukovar would have to operate under the term of the electronic vignette network.

12 6 CURRENTLY APPLIED FINANCING MODEL FOR OTHER HAZARDOUS SHIP WASTE No other hazardous ship waste is being collected nor treated on the Danube in Croatia and there is no financing model available for this type of waste collection. Page 12 of

13 7 LEGAL ADMINISTRATIVE BASIS FOR FINANCING MODEL 7.1 Legal Administrative Basis for currently applied Financing Model There is no legislative basis that regulates the financing of the waste collection on the Danube in Croatia. The problem is that there is no basis for charging such services, not event to regulate operations at the Port of Vukovar, where those services are provided to some extent. Therefore, shipping companies using the waste reception facility at the Port of Vukovar are not charged, but the Port Authority Vukovar covers those expenses. The only legal basis for reception of water, faecal, bilge and oily waters from vessels is available in the Act on Inland Navigation and Inland Ports. Article 130 (1) Administering the port shall involve the following tasks: (3) reception of water, faecal, bilge and oily waters from vessels; Likewise, the Regulation of technical and technological requirements for ports and safety conditions in ports and piers of inland waterways (OG 32/09) states: Article 3. In order to meet technical requirements, a port servicing domestic and international transport, needs to have: (7) permanent facilities on shore for the purpose of ship waste water collection and separation of oily waters, or mobile facilities of the same functionality, with the suitable capacity dependant on the number of planned arrivals; Article 4. Port management must provide the following services in each port: (6) ship waste collection; Page 13 of

14 Therefore, it is evident that the law proscribes the provision of the service but regulatory documents of a lower level do not proscribe a financing approach nor set a financing model and fee regulation. 7.2 Other key factors for currently applied Financing Model There is no financing model available, nor is there actual OGSW in full operation, apart from the pilot activities within the CO-WANDA project. This is the case due to insufficient equipment at the available reception facility at the Port of Vukovar, as well as the lack of necessary permits which would allow for the purified bilge water to be released back into the Danube waterway. In accordance with Article 13. and 14. of Ordinance on issuing of water related legal acts (OG 78/10), Croatian Waters is the authorised body for such permissions. In order to obtain the permit, Port Authority Vukovar must submit the following documents: graphical drawing of the infrastructure and its position with the location where the purified water is proposed to be discharged into the river; description of technological procedure, emission of the hazardous substances which may affect the water quality and water environment; maximum quantities of emissions into water and water environment on daily and yearly basis; information or excerpts from project related to proposed structures. Before discharging it back into the waterway, purified water must be tested by an authorized laboratory with sampling done 2-3 times annually. Page 14 of

15 8 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR FINANCING MODEL 8.1 Technical Basis for Financing Model For the purpose of this analysis, commercial freight and passenger transport vessels were taken into consideration, as specified in the records of the Croatian Register of Ships (CRS). The register is an independent, public foundation performing the following activities: classification of ships; statutory certification of ships on behalf of the national Maritime Administrations; statutory certification of recreational crafts; certification of materials and products; conformity assessment of marine equipment; conformity assessment of recreational crafts. The present status of CRS is defined by the Law on Croatian Register of Shipping (OG 1996/81, as amended by OG 2013/76) and Charter of CRS. This analysis includes self-propelled vessels used for commercial freight and passenger transport, meaning that the following are not included in the report: Naval vessels; Survey vessels; Warships; Other non-commercial vessels; Passenger vessels 12 passengers; state-owned vessels that are not used for professional commercial navigation such as inspection and patrol vessels. In the table below the seven cargo vessel operators in Croatia (one of which mostly operates on the Sava River) are the most significant ones in terms of their fleet and operations. There Page 15 of

16 are a lot of operators which are only involved in sand and gravel excavation and those will not be included in this analysis. No. IWT cargo operator 1 Brodska Posavina d.d. 2 Luka Vukovar d.o.o. 3 HRB Dunavski Lloyd d.o.o. 4 Hidrogradnja d.o.o. 5 Vodogradnja Osijek d.d. 6 Dunavska plovidba Vukovar d.o.o. 7 Felix regulacija d.o.o. Table 8-1: IWT cargo operators According to the Croatian Register of Ships, Croatian IWT fleet consists of 317 units which includes the following vessel categories: Tanker; Hopper barge; Pusher; Floating establishment; Towing barge (heavy bulk, open); Push barge (heavy bulk, open); Floating establishment (bulk cargo unloading equipment); Tugboat; Suction dredger; Bucket dredger; Floating establishment (crane). Among those, only 152 can be categorized as commercial fleet, active and inactive, both motorized and non-motorized. There is a large number of lighters and dumb barges. When the criteria of the Financing Model are applied (motorized commercial freight and passenger transport vessels), we end up with the number of 66 units, of which only a small segment is Page 16 of

17 active. According to the CRS, only 28 of these are currently active vessels (have currently valid licences and are approved for operation). Nine of those units are passenger vessels, mostly operating on lakes and will not be included in this analysis, whereas two are located at the Kopački Rit National Park and those will be included in the table below. In the following table, the vessels listed above are categorized according to seven total engine power categories: Category Total Engine Power (total of all main engines) [kw] Registered Active Cargo Vessels (No. Vessels) Registered Active Passenger Vessels (No. Vessels) Category I < % Category II % Category III % Category IV % Category V % Category VI % Category VII >3000 0% TOTAL 16 3 Table 8-2: Overview of active cargo and passenger motorized vessels Share (%) Registration of a vessel at the Croatian Register of Ships The regulatory documents relevant for the operations performed by the Croatian Register of Ships (CRS) are as follows: 1. Rulebook on the registration of inland waterway vessels (OG 56/00) 2. Act on Inland Navigation (OG 109/07 and OG 132/07) 3. Technical regulation for the certification of inland waterway vessels (OG 92/13) 4. Rulebook on technical supervision of inland waterway vessels (CRS) A vessel is registered by including it in the List of Vessels. Different procedures are applied to: a) Vessel b) Public vessel c) Vessel under construction d) Floating object. The registration is done in a domicile harbour master s office with regards to the permanent residency of the owner. When the vessel under construction is being registered, the domicile Page 17 of

18 captaincy is determined according to the residency of the ship yard. The relevant harbour master s offices for inland waterway vessels are: a) Harbour master s office Vukovar b) Harbour master s office Osijek c) Harbour master s office Slavonski Brod d) Harbour master s office Sisak. The records of the harbour master s office include: a) List of vessels b) List of public vessels c) List of Vessel under construction. A vessel is included in the lists of vessels by a request issued by the owner and it is certified by a Certificate of registry. The main book of the List of Vessels consists of: a) List A data on the identification of a vessel and its basic technical characteristics; b) List B data on the owner and all restrictions with regards to the use of the vessel; c) List C real ownership documents with regards to the vessel in question, lease of the vessel, other contracts etc. Ownership documents are used for the purpose of List B and List C, whereas the technical documents are used for the purpose of List A of the main book of register. Technical documentation that attests to the ability of the vessel to meet the basic requirements set in the Technical regulation for the certification of Inland waterway vessels are as follows: a) Certificate on the navigability (issued by the Inspection Body (IB) after the inspection of the vessel performed by the CRS) b) Certificate on technical data of the vessel c) Certificate on the trial navigation d) Certificate on the calibration Page 18 of

19 e) Certificate on the transport of dangerous goods f) Certificate on the safety of a floating object g) Oil record book h) Oil record book non-tanker vessels. Inspection of the vessel performed by the CRS includes as follows: a) Approval of documentation for newbilding or repair vessels b) Supervision of the newbildings or repairs c) Basic ship inspection d) Vessel calibration. 8.2 Controls Regual controls are carried out annually by the CRS (annual controls), although vessel certificates are issued for the period of 5 years. After the certificated is no longer valid (after 5 years), a renewal control inspection is made. Apart from the annual and renewal controls, there are irregular controls, which may be required due to the irregual situations such as an accident, changes to the main characteristics of a vessel etc. Oil record book is controlled by the CRS, and when it is filled completely, the CRS issues another one. The harbour master s offices control how and if regularly, entries in the Oil record book are made. Page 19 of

20 9 STEPS TOWARDS A HARMONISED FINANCING APPROACH FOR OGSW There is no specific legislation establishing the requirements for implementation of the financing system for oily and greasy ships waste management. Likewise, as there is only occasional operation of a single waste reception facility at the Port of Vukovar, most of which was done during the CO-WANDA pilot project implementation. The only legal basis for reception of water, faecal, bilge and oily waters from vessels is available in the European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN) 4, the Act on Inland Navigation (OG 109/07) and the Regulation of technical and technological requirements for ports and safety conditions in ports and piers of inland waterways (OG 32/09), which require that a port must have permanent facilities on shore for the purpose of ship waste water collection and separation of oily waters, or mobile facilities of the same functionality and likewise, provide the service of ship waste collection. However, the same legislation does not provide legal basis for charging those service nor provides a financing model. From the legal standpoint, the Republic of Croatia must adhere to the Convention for waste management for inland navigation on the Danube 5 defining the implementation of a financial mechanism based on an electronic vignette system. Ratification would facilitate the harmonized approach to the financial model. From the operational standpoint, functional and operative facilities needs to be provided. At this point, the available facility is temporary and does not provide a long-term solution due the fact that it has insufficient equipment and lacks necessary permits which would allow for the purified bilge water to be released back into the Danube waterway.

23 10 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS When starting from the status quo of OGSW management in Croatia, the system in practice is not operational. The participation within the pilot activities of the CO-WANDA project is made possible for the short test period, but this operability on the technical level is not representative of the regular waste disposal possibilities at the Port of Vukovar. As already explained in the document, the legislation proscribes the obligation of providing OGSW disposal at Croatian ports, and the infrastructure exists, but to a limited extent, making the reception facility inoperable on regular basis. The lack of all necessary equipment and permits which would allow for the purified bilge water to be released back into the Danube waterway prevents full operability of the facility. Therefore, the first step which needs to be taken, simultaneously with the political and legal action to be addressed later in the document, is to secure the right equipment and permits from the Croatian Waters, in line with Article 13. and 14. of Ordinance on issuing of water related legal acts (OG 78/10). From the political point of view, the initial step has to be adoption of the international convention proposed within the CO-WANDA project. Within this particular step, political support is the crucial factor. A national institution needs to be appointed to coordinate the entire ship waste management system on national level, as proposed within the Financing Model for oily and greasy ship waste along the Danube, developed within the scope of the WANDA project in It is highly recommended to allocate this responsibility to an existing (governmental) organisation instead of setting up a new organisation specifically for this purpose to keep the administrative costs as low as possible. Likewise, in order for electronic vignette system to function properly, adequate IT infrastructure/support needs to be provided, as well as the interconnectivity towards RIS, for the purposes of monitoring of the vessels for professional navigation. On the European level, the HULL database is under construction and will be integrated in RIS, whereas on national level HULL database has not been developed and this should be a priority of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure. If fully functional including the HULL database, Page 23 of

24 RIS can provide a total overview of the number of IWT ships on the Danube River. Useful user information, such as information about the position of a bilge water boat and other waste disposal messages could be displayed in the RIS system. RIS should therefore be used as an information provider for the financing model as well as the monitoring tool. RIS can be used by the authorities responsible for monitoring and control to identify vessels that operate without having paid for the waste management scheme. This implies that data on the validity period and the number of a valid vignette for each vessel is available in the system. Page 24 of
