1 Ballast Water Management State of Affairs

2 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs Overview 1. The Regulatory Environment 1. IMO 2. USA 2. Ballast Water Technology 1. Approved Systems 2. Approval Process

3 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs INTERTANKO s Strategic Plan 1. Tanker industry is able to achieve compliance with current and future discharge standards (both regionally and internationally) 2. Installation and Operation of appropriate and adequate ballast water management systems 3. Compliance and enforcement need strong, well defined and realistic international regulations

4 Ballast Water Management State of the Regulatory Environment Remaining challenges and uncertainty: 1. Implementation timelines 2. Type approval guidelines 3. Port State Control Sampling and Analysis 4. Regional Regs: the US and local conflicts (Coastguard vs EPA)

5 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : IMO Ballast Water Management Convention Adopted in 2004 Entry into force requires ratification by 30 countries, 35% world s grt Currently, 38 countries, 30.38% grt

6 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : IMO 1. Implementation Schedule Scenario 1 - Assuming Entry into Force of the Convention 1 st June 2015 Vessel Keel Laid Delivered BWMS Installation Date First renewal survey* after 17 May Suezmax A 5 Nov May (i.e. first renewal survey following the anniversary date of delivery of the ship in the year of compliance with the standard applicable to the ship) Suezmax B 5 Nov J Jan 2012 First renewal survey after 16J Jan 2016 Suezmax C 25 Dec Mar 2012 First renewal survey after 1 Mar 2016 * Renewal survey associated with the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate under MARPOL Annex I

7 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : IMO 1. Implementation Schedule Scenario 2 - Assuming Entry into Force of the Convention 1 st June 2016 Vessel Keel Laid Delivered BWMS Installation Date Suezmax A 5 Nov May 2004 Suezmax B 5 Nov Jan 2012 Suezmax C 25 Dec Mar 2012 First renewal survey* following the 1st June 2016 (i.e. Entry into Force of the Convention). First renewal survey following the 1 st June 2016 First renewal survey following the 1 st June 2016 * Renewal survey associated with the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate under MARPOL Annex I

8 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : IMO 2. Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) Type Approvals Notwithstanding progress at MEPC 65 with greater quantity and quality of information with increasing transparency, there remains a need to review and revise the IMO s Type Apporval Guidelines (G8) INTERTANKO Council, G8 Guidelines, still not adequate in providing tanker operators with reliable, dependable BWMS to install on board their tankers.

9 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : IMO 3. Port State Control Trial Period (initially for 3 years) following entry into force To trial sampling and testing During this period, port states will refrain from detaining a ship or initiating criminals sanctions in the event a BWMS does not meet the discharge standard.

10 Regulatory Requirements BallastWater Management for owners: BWM Plan and Record dbook kfor each vessel BWM System & discharge standards Compliance schedule to install BWMS Addl. Survey and certification requirements Addl. Port StateControl procedures => Uncertainty, Time & Resources Leading the way; making a difference

11 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : USA 1. US Coast Guard Implementation Schedule Ballast Water Management Systems approval

12 Decision Tree Newbuildings

13 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : USA 1. US Coast Guard Implementation Schedule Decision Tree Model Extension Request (MER) Letter

14 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. The Regulatory Environment : USA 2. EPA NPDES VGP 2013 New ships (keel laid after December 1, 2013) will need to install a BWMS to comply with the VGP A BWMS which has been shown to be effective by testing conducted by an independent third party laboratory, test facility or test organization

15 BW Systems Owners Reality Choosing equipment: Suitable systems/treatment types?

16 Ballast Water Treatment Guidance Choosing, installing and operating systems Leading the way; making a difference

17 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 1. Approved Systems IMO US 2. Ballast Water Technology Type Approved (G8) 33 * Coast Guard approved 0 Alternate Management Systems (AMS) 13 (+3) ** * As at 24 May 2013 (MEPC 65) ** As at 26 September

18 2. Approval Process IMO Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs 2. Ballast Water Technology Update requirements for manufacturers submitting information to Administrations (BWM.2/Circ.43) Updated information to be included in Type Approval Certification, e.g. BWMS limitations (Resolution MEPC.228(65)) No Review of G8 planned US 2 independent laboratories authorised (US and Norway)

19 Ballast Water Management - State of Affairs Overview 1. The Regulatory Environment 1. IMO 2. USA 2. Ballast Water Technology 1. Approved Systems 2. Approval Process

20 BW Systems Owners Reality Planning & Design Costs, Installation & downtime Crew training, time & focus Running Costs Energy Consumables Maintenance & Spares Source: ABS Ballast Water Treatment Advisory Fear of non compliance & criminalisation

21 BW Systems Owners Reality Sources of Uncertainty: ty: Robustness of Type approved Systems need to reflect real world on board e.g. Total Rated Capacity tested 60m3/hr but approved to 6000m3/hr e.g. Efficiency i in different salinities i i (brackish and freshwater tests) e.g. Varying water temperatures e.g. Waters with high sediment loads or high tannin content Ongoing concern that Type Approval process separate from PSC process, so approved Systems may notmeet PSC analysis once installed onboard Energy Consumption of Systems: considerations in relation to other IMO instruments, e.g. MARPOL Annex VI and energy efficiency.

22 Ballast Water Treatment Guidance INTERTANKO Guidance on the Selection and Installation of Ballast Water Management Systems for Tankers Physical Installation Pumping Control system approval and certification Treatment type Operating practicalities Leading the way; making a difference

23 Ballast Water Management Industry Cooperation Leading the way; making a difference

25 Ballast Water Management Concluding remarks 1. Positive developments at IMO, but more work needs to be done and the draft Assembly resolution needs to be adopted! 2. Sharing of operational experience between stakeholders (acceptance of treated discharges by Admin. & PSC essential) Do systems work the way they were approved to work? Do they meet the discharge standards? What operational lissues need to be considered d for each? 3. Need a international, uniform approach with strong, well defined and realistic international regulations, clear timelines and the political will of States to solve remaining issues and align regional requirements for a globalindustry
