17 SunRui BalClor Submitted USCG type approval package on 27 January 2017 IL: DNV-GL Treatment: Uptake: Filtration + Electrochlorination Discharge: Neutralization Contacted for further details No response 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 17

18 Number of BWMS Progress in USCG TA Testing * Year USCG TA Submittal Land-based Started Shipboard Started USCG TA Note: * MPN Method used for counting organisms USCG denied request Source: Survey of BWMS Vendors (data as of 16 March 2017) 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 18

19 NSF Testing of BWMS Dr. Mario Tamburri (MERC associated laboratory) has given presentations regarding issues / inconsistencies with USCG type approval testing Contacted NSF and associated laboratories on status of testing and rumors of problems Requested updates from BWMS vendors using NSF No replies were received 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 19

20 Testing to Revised G8 Discussed with DNV-GL process of type approving USCG type approved BWMS to revised G8 (Resolution MEPC.279(70)) On-going effort Need revision of G9 to respond to freshwater testing of active substances Need to align temperature range testing Scaling Revised G8 may be more stringent than USCG type approval 4.16 At a minimum, the shipboard test unit should be of a capacity that allows for further validation of the mathematical modelling and/or calculations for scaling, and preferably selected at the upper limit of the rated capacity of the BWMS, unless otherwise approved by the Administration. 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 20

21 Outlook for 2017 Three additional BWMS vendors should be submitting USCG type approval packages Many BWMS state that testing is starting in 2017 Many UV-based BWMS are conducting new testing to CMFDA 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 21

22 Important Next Steps Be prepared for the unexpected Develop a compliance strategy BWMS design and installation needs to be carefully prepared Contingencies for nonperformance need to be addressed Document: All discussions with BWMS vendors, engineering firms, and drydocks Operational issues with BWMS Keep up-to-date with all developments Team with trusted partners 20 March 2017 INTERTANKO North American Panel Meeting 22
