  3. Air emissions – our responsibility • As an industry we recognise that we have a part to play in reducing harmful emisions and preserving the environment • Actively lobbied States to ratify MARPOL Annex VI (IMO criticised for being to slow but often the delay is caused by States in failing to ratify

Key elements of Annex VI – Reg’s 14 & 18 • Bunker Deliver Note • Sampling requirements • Port State must contain a register of authorised bunker suppliers – how ”open” is this? • Suppliers must certify that the fuel meets the required quality • Port State Control must inform the Flag State administration and IMO if fuel has been supplied with fails to meet Reg’s 14 and 18
