  1. MARPOL – Annex VI Control of Air Pollution from Ships and its Current Revision process Dr. Tim Gunner, Technical Consultant, Intertanko

  2. Why MARPOL Annex VI? • Emission Gases from Ships • Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) – create Ozone • Sulphur Oxides (SOx) – create acidification • Hydrocarbons (HC) – gas, soot and some particulates • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) • Refrigerant Gases • Non Annex VI • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – is a GHG • Carbon Monoxide (CO) • The concentration of exhaust gases is variable according to the engine type, engine settings and fuel type.

  3. IMO & REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS • Annex VI entered into force in 2005 • Baltic Sea - SECA from May 2006 • North Sea/English Channel - SECA from November 2007 • EU Directive – from August 2007 • Major Revision of MARPOL Annex VI – Commenced 2006 and due for completion 2007/8 • European Sulphur Directive governs emissions in port (0.1% S at berth) • California (CARB) new regulations (0.5% S) which take effect in 2007 • Various ports are facing new local regulations on Ship Emissions, which are governing future expansion and development

  4. The Regulations inAnnex VI • There are 19 Regulations but the following Regulations will impact Vessel operation • Regulation 12 – Ozone Depleting Substances • Regulation 13 – NOx emissions • Regulation 14 – Sulphur Oxide emissions • Regulation 15 – VOC emissions • Regulation 16 – Shipboard Incinerators • Regulation 18 – Fuel Oil Quality control

  5. Regulation 13 – NOx • For all Engines (except emergency engines) installed on ships after 1st January 2000 of more than 130 kW must comply to this Regulation. • The NOx emission is limited to 17 g/kW h for engines operating at 130 rpm but reducing to 9.8 g/kW h for 2000 rpm. Between these revs the limit is designated by equation: 45 * n(-0.2) g/kW h • Existing engines can become a “new” engine if substantially modified.

  6. Proposed Revisions of Regulation 13 - NOx • Tiered approach to further NOx reductions – Tier 2 from date of revisions coming into force - 2010, and Tier 3 from 2015 • Lower limit NOx emissions (30 - 40% reduction discussed for first tier – 2010) • Further NOx emission limitation on all existing engines, particularly those installed after Jan. 2000 • NECAs – NOx emission control areas (Tier 3 levels for these areas?)

  7. Regulation 14 - SOx • The Worldwide Sulphur cap on fuel oil is set at 4.5%. • Sulphur Emission Control areas (SECAs) • Areas – Baltic, North Sea and English Channel • Sulphur Level of fuel – 1.5% or; • Alternatively use an exhaust gas cleaning system • Ship must have cleared all pipe systems and tanks and be using low sulphur fuel on entry

  8. Sulphur Emission Control Areas - SECAs Nov. 2007 May 2006

  9. Proposed Revisions of Regulation 14 - SOx • Reduction of SOx emissions • Reduction of the Global Cap – e.g. to 3.00% • Reduction of the SECA Cap – e.g. to 1.00% or 0.50% • Correction for the reporting and measurement standard to two decimal places for Sulphur content (Bunker Delivery Note criterion).

  10. Future Revision of Regulation 14 - Additional SECAs?

  11. New Parameter for Air Pollution Control • Particulate Matter Emission control • What are these Particulates? • Sulphates from SOx • Nitrates from NOx • VOC from uncombusted hydrocarbons • Heavy Metals e.g. Vanadium, Nickel, Aluminium, Sodium, Calcium, Zinc; from Heavy Fuel oil and Lube Oil • Soot – from the aromatics in heavy fuel oil

  12. Particulate Matter Regulation and Control Methods • At present this subject matter has not been fully debated within the working group • Issues to be confronted: • Size of the Particulate to be regulated – 10 micron or 2.5 micron • Extent of limitation of Particulate emission • Methods for control of Particulate emissions – e.g. Scrubbers and/or Filters • Storage and Disposal of Particulates • Control and verification of reduced emissions

  13. Current Regulation 18 – Fuel Oil Quality • “Fuel oil shall be blends of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum refining” • “Fuel oil shall be free from inorganic acid” • “Fuel oil shall not include any added substance or chemical waste which either: • Jeopardises the safety of ships or adversely affects the performance of the machinery, or • Is harmful to personnel, or • Contributes overall to additional air pollution”

  14. Regulation 18 – Fuel Oil Quality • Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) • Becomes a Statutory document • Must be kept on board for 3 years for inspection and a copy taken for further examination. • Must contain all data required by appendix V • Name and IMO number of vessel • Port • Date of Commencement of delivery • Details of fuel oil supplier • Product name, quantity , Density at 15 0C and Sulphur content % m/m • A declaration that fuel supplied meets Regulation 14 and 18.

  15. Regulation 18 – Fuel Oil Quality • Fuel Oil Sampling • A sealed sample meeting the requirements in associated guidelines has to given to the ship by the bunker supplier • For each individual BDN a sample has to be taken at the vessel’s bunker receiving manifold. (see procedure in associated guidelines) • The sample label has to be signed by both the bunker supplier’s representative and the vessel’s Chief Engineer. • The sample size shall be not less than 400 mls • The sample is not to be used for any commercial purpose • The sample is to be retained on board for at least 1 year for inspection by PSC as required

  16. INTERTANKO’s suggestions to IMO BLG working Group • The use of distillate fuels, with a global Sulphur content cap introduced using a two tiered programme, as follows: • from [2010], a maximum of 1.00% S content • for ships’ engines installed on and after [2015], a maximum [0.50]% Sulphur content • A Global Sulphur Emission Control Area • If the above two issues were considered feasible, then the provisions for checking and monitoring compliance with Regulation 14 and 18 should be revised accordingly.

  17. INTERTANKO’s SuggestionsSolutions for the Revision • Automatic reduction of NOx due to fuel quality by 10 – 15% and allows engine manufacturers to develop more “in engine” technologies. • Removes the requirement for storage of three fuels and the changeover safety problems for SECA entry • Removes the requirement to regulate Particulate Matter • Removes the risk of Regional Regulation • Regulates one type of acceptable fuel quality for all ships and aligns shipping with other forms of transport • Simplifies verification and control
