  1. INTERTANKO’s Environmental Committee Driving INTERTANKO’s Environmental Agenda Tim Wilkins Environmental Manager Regional Manager Asia-Pacific

  2. INTERTANKO’s Environmental Agenda Environmental Agenda / Presentation Overview • Port reception facilities • Ballast water management • Ship recycling • Biofouling and Anti-fouling • Environmental Awareness & Benchmarking • Other upcoming issues

  3. 1. Reception Facilities Internal Policy 1. Case by case basis 2. Feedback forms, data gathering 3. Name and shame 4. Industry Cooperation External Policy 5. Driving change at IMO 6. Regional cooperation

  4. 1. Reception Facilities 2. Feedback forms, data gathering

  5. 1. Reception Facilities 3. Name and shame

  6. 1. Reception Facilities • 4. Industry Cooperation - Industry Port Reception Facilities Forum • Involving: • INTERTANKO INTERCARGO • ICS BIMCO • ESPO EHMA/IHMA • IAPH FONASBA • Euroshore OCIMF • Supported by: • IMO secretariat EMSA (European Commission) • REMPEC Transport Canada • USCG / EPA ROPME • HELCOM

  7. 1. Reception Facilities 5. Driving Change at IMO - Change of approach – reporting problem to a problem of inadequate facilities - Forum Action Plan = IMO Action Plan - Correspondence Group established and continuing - Standardised/Uniform ‘Advance Notification Form’ (ANF) and ‘Waste Delivery Receipt’ (WDR) - Guide to Good Practice 6. Regional Cooperation HELCOM The Baltic Sea REMPEC The Mediterranean Sea European Commission EU Directive Gulfs Area (ME) ROPME and MEMAC Asia-Pacific Concentrated Reporting Campaign North America USCG Feedback Forms

  8. 2. Ballast Water Management Two External Policy Drivers: • IMO Convention implementation • Local, National and Regional Regulations

  9. 2. Ballast Water Management • IMO Convention implementation • Focus on Guidelines • INTERTANKO/ICS Model Ballast Water Management Plan 3rd Edition • IMO Guidelines (5 key guidelines out of 16)

  10. 2. Ballast Water Management • IMO Convention implementation • Focus on Technology • Comparison of technologies tried/tested? • All systems should be type approved by the administration – those using active substances will need Basic approval and Final approval by IMO • Systems to watch...NEI Treatment Systems (Type approved), Alfa Laval and OceanSaver • Focus on Entry into Force Dates Assembly Resolution A.1005(25) Uncertainties raised by industry (INTERTANKO, ICS and OCIMF) in the availability of treatment equipment to meet the standards in the Convention for those ships constructed in 2009 (with ballast capacity <5000m3) So, ships constructed in 2009 will now have to install treatment technology at its second annual survey and no later than 31 December 2011. Review the application of the Convention for ships constructed in 2010 at MEPC 58 (October 2008)

  11. 2. Ballast Water Management Two External Policy Drivers: • IMO Convention implementation • Local, National and Regional Regulations Australia (Victoria) New Zealand Argentina (Buenos Aires) Brazil Panama Canada Peru Chile Russia (Novorossiysk) Georgia Lithuania (Klaipeda) Ukraine Israel USA

  12. 2. Ballast Water Management – Committee Action

  13. 3. Ship Recycling • IMO’s Convention Key Elements of the Mandatory Convention 1. Recycling Facilities 2. Mandatory reporting scheme 3. Ship Recycling Plan 4. Potentially Hazardous Materials 5. Inventory of Hazardous Materials (aka Green passport) The Bilateral agreement sticking point • Industry Initiatives INTERTANKO – Interim Strategy Industry Working Group – Interim Measures • Yard Selection • Inventory of Hazardous Materials • Gas Freeing • Ship Recycling Plan • Reporting to Flag State

  14. 4. Biofouling and Anti-fouling Distinguishing between the two issues Biofouling – Biological issue: invasive species, biodiversity risk Antifouling – Chemical issue: toxin / biocide, pollutant TBT, Irgarol, Diuron and Copper

  15. 4. Biofouling and Anti-fouling Anti-fouling • Entry into force of the AFS Convention • 18th September 2008 • Note EU will not allow any ship with tin-based anti-fouling on its hull after 1st January 2008 • Environmental Committee • Move towards biocide-free systems • Comparison of silicon systems

  16. 4. Biofouling and Anti-fouling Biofouling • Biofouling as an issue for the IMO External skin / shell plating - typically where the coating is scratched (bow stem, bulb), missing, mismatched or exhausted (e.g. dry-dock support strips) • hi-wear areas (rudder, waterline) • anode blocks • uncoated areas (prop, rudder pivot) • sea chests • thruster tunnels, grills, azimuth units, etc Internal bilge spaces, strainer boxes, seawater pipe work

  17. 4. Biofouling and Anti-fouling Biofouling • Biofouling as an issue for the IMO • Development of international measures for minimizing the translocation of invasive species through biofouling of ships • Consideration would be given to: • developing Guidelines for the adoption by MEPC • linking measures to the AFS Convention • linking measures to the BWM Convention • developing a new Convention • Future direction • Continued development of national requirements: Australia, New Zealand, California AB740 • Industry pro-activity required • Assessment of scale • Risk based approach • Practical measures: initiaves being reviewed

  18. 5. Environmental Awareness and Benchmarking Environmental Awareness • Training • Environmental Awareness Training Courses • Heriot-Watt University • ITOPF • Energy Conservation • On board awareness campaign • Consider further the establishment of a benchmarking scheme for energy consumption Environmental Benchmarking Requires • Agreement on what significant aspects to record and benchmark: • GHGs: CO2 and VOCs, SOx, Sludge and oily bilge water, Garbage and Sewage • Agreement on which formulas to use: • MEPC’s Voluntary Indexing of Ships Guidelines • INTERTANKO/Tim Gunner’s GHG Indexing of Ships • BP benchmarking formula expanded

  19. 6. Other issues Whale Strikes Predominantly a National and Regional issue • Oman Whale and Dolphin reporting • Killer Whale Recovery Plan (NOAA) • North Atlantic Right Whale (NOAA) International developments • IMO (NAV) Traffic Separation Scheme requirements, Bay of Fundy and Port of Boston • IWC Proposals • Adopt national, regional and local legislation • Whale data on radar • Crew training Environmental Committee • Navigational measures before slow steaming • Reporting encouraged

  20. 6. Other issues Environmental Organisation Liaison WWF: Antifouling systems, Port reception facilities, Air emissions from shipping IUCN: Whale and dolphin conservation, Biofouing Sea Alarm Foundation: Support and promote MEPA’s: HELMEPA, CYMEPA, AUSMEPA, TURMEPA, NAMEPA etc. Greenpeace: Ship recycling FOEI: Reception facilities and ballast water
