Introduction
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,
1973, was adopted by the International Conference on Marine Pollution
convened by IMO from 8 October to 2 November 1973
...
This
Convention was subsequently modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating
thereto, which was adopted by the International Conference on Tanker
Safety and Pollution Prevention (TSPP Conference) convened by IMO
from 6 to 17 February 1978
...
Regulations covering the
various sources of ship-generated pollution are contained in the five
Annexes of the Convention
...
The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), since its
inception in 1974, has reviewed various provisions of MARPOL 73/78
that have been found to require clarification or have given rise to difficulties
in implementation
...
In certain cases, the MEPC recognized that there was a need
to amend existing regulations or to introduce new regulations with the aim
of reducing even further operational and accidental pollution from ships
...
The purpose of this publication is to provide an easy reference to the up-todate provisions and unified interpretations of the articles, protocols and
Annexes of MARPOL 73/78, including the incorporation of all of the
amendments that have been adopted by the MEPC and have entered into
force, up to and including the 2000 amendments (as adopted by resolution
MEPC
...
It should be noted, however, that the Secretariat has no
intention of changing the authentic texts editorially or otherwise
...
An exception to the above is the amendments to regulation 13G of Annex I
and to the Supplement to the IOPP Certificate (as adopted on 16 May 2001
by resolution MEPC
...
The date for tacit acceptance of these
important amendments is 1 March 2002, and if they are accepted on that
date they will enter into force on 1 September 2002
...
It was felt, however, that the amendments
might enter into force before the next revision of the present consolidated
edition of MARPOL 73/78
...
95(46) is reproduced as item 7 of the Additional Information
section
...
94(46) is item 8 of the same section
...
A unified interpretation for hydrostatic balance
loading, relating to regulation 13G of Annex I, as approved by the MEPC,
has also been added to the appendices to the unified interpretations of
Annex I
...
88(44), relating to the adoption of a revised
Annex IV, and the text of the revised Annex are included as items 5 and 6 of
the Additional Information section
...

International Convention
for the
Prevention of Pollution
from Ships, 1973
THE PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION,
BEING CONSCIOUS of the need to preserve the human environment in
general and the marine environment in particular,
RECOGNIZING that deliberate, negligent or accidental release of oil and
other harmful substances from ships constitutes a serious source of
pollution,
RECOGNIZING ALSO the importance of the International Convention for
the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil, 1954, as being the first
multilateral instrument to be concluded with the prime objective of
protecting the environment, and appreciating the significant contribution
which that Convention has made in preserving the seas and coastal
environment from pollution,
DESIRING to achieve the complete elimination of intentional pollution of
the marine environment by oil and other harmful substances and the
minimization of accidental discharge of such substances,
CONSIDERING that this object may best be achieved by establishing rules
not limited to oil pollution having a universal purport,
HAVE AGREED as follows:
Article 1
General obligations under the Convention
(1)
The Parties to the Convention undertake to give effect to the
provisions of the present Convention and those Annexes thereto by
which they are bound, in order to prevent the pollution of the marine
environment by the discharge of harmful substances or effluents
containing such substances in contravention of the Convention
...

International Convention
for the Prevention of Pollution
from Ships, 1973
MARPOL 73
MARPOL 73
Article 2
Definitions
For the purposes of the present Convention, unless expressly provided
otherwise:
(1)
Regulation means the regulations contained in the Annexes to the
present Convention
...
(3)
(a)
Discharge, in relation to harmful substances or effluents containing such substances, means any release howsoever caused from a
ship and includes any escape, disposal, spilling, leaking,
pumping, emitting or emptying;
(b)
Discharge does not include:
(i)
dumping within the meaning of the Convention on the
Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes
and Other Matter, done at London on 13 November
1972; or
(ii)
release of harmful substances directly arising from the
exploration, exploitation and associated offshore processing of sea-bed mineral resources; or
(iii) release of harmful substances for purposes of legitimate
scientific research into pollution abatement or control
...
(5)
Administration means the Government of the State under whose
authority the ship is operating
...
With respect to fixed or floating platforms engaged in exploration and
exploitation of the sea-bed and subsoil thereof adjacent to the coast
over which the coastal State exercises sovereign rights for the purposes
of exploration and exploitation of their natural resources, the
Administration is the Government of the coastal State concerned
...
4
(7)
Organization means the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative
Organization
...
(2)
Nothing in the present article shall be construed as derogating from or
extending the sovereign rights of the Parties under international law
over the sea-bed and subsoil thereof adjacent to their coasts for the
purposes of exploration and exploitation of their natural resources
...
However,
each Party shall ensure by the adoption of appropriate measures not
impairing the operations or operational capabilities of such ships
owned or operated by it, that such ships act in a manner consistent, so
far as is reasonable and practicable, with the present Convention
...
If the Administration is informed of such a violation and is
satisfied that sufficient evidence is available to enable proceedings to be
brought in respect of the alleged violation, it shall cause such
proceedings to be taken as soon as possible, in accordance with its law
...
Whenever such a violation occurs, that Party shall either:
(a) cause proceedings to be taken in accordance with its law; or
*
The name of the Organization was changed to ‘‘International Maritime Organization’’ by
virtue of amendments to the Organization’s Convention which entered into force on 22 May
1982
...
(3)
Where information or evidence with respect to any violation of the
present Convention by a ship is furnished to the Administration of
that ship, the Administration shall promptly inform the Party which
has furnished the information or evidence, and the Organization, of
the action taken
...
Article 5
Certificates and special rules on inspection of ships
(1)
Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of the present article a
certificate issued under the authority of a Party to the Convention in
accordance with the provisions of the regulations shall be accepted by
the other Parties and regarded for all purposes covered by the present
Convention as having the same validity as a certificate issued by them
...
Any such inspection shall be limited to
verifying that there is on board a valid certificate, unless there are clear
grounds for believing that the condition of the ship or its equipment
does not correspond substantially with the particulars of that
certificate
...
That Party may, however, grant such a ship permission to leave the
port or offshore terminal for the purpose of proceeding to the nearest
appropriate repair yard available
...
Before denying entry or taking such action the Party may request
consultation with the Administration of the ship concerned
...
(4)
With respect to the ship of non-Parties to the Convention, Parties
shall apply the requirements of the present Convention as may be
necessary to ensure that no more favourable treatment is given to such
ships
...
(2)
A ship to which the present Convention applies may, in any port or
offshore terminal of a Party, be subject to inspection by officers
appointed or authorized by that Party for the purpose of verifying
whether the ship has discharged any harmful substances in violation of
the provisions of the regulations
...
(3)
Any Party shall furnish to the Administration evidence, if any, that the
ship has discharged harmful substances or effluents containing such
substances in violation of the provisions of the regulations
...
(4)
Upon receiving such evidence, the Administration so informed shall
investigate the matter, and may request the other Party to furnish
further or better evidence of the alleged contravention
...
The Administration shall promptly inform the Party
which has reported the alleged violation, as well as the Organization,
of the action taken
...
The
7
MARPOL 73
Articles 5, 6
MARPOL 73
MARPOL 73
report of such investigation shall be sent to the Party requesting it and
to the Administration so that the appropriate action may be taken
under the present Convention
...
(2)
When a ship is unduly detained or delayed under articles 4, 5 or 6 of
the present Convention, it shall be entitled to compensation for any
loss or damage suffered
...
(2)
Each Party to the Convention shall:
(a) make all arrangements necessary for an appropriate officer or
agency to receive and process all reports on incidents; and
(b) notify the Organization with complete details of such arrangements for circulation to other Parties and Member States of the
Organization
...
Each Party to the Convention undertakes to issue instructions to its
maritime inspection vessels and aircraft and to other appropriate
services, to report to its authorities any incident referred to in Protocol
I to the present Convention
...
Article 9
Other treaties and interpretation
(1)
Upon its entry into force, the present Convention supersedes the
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea
by Oil, 1954, as amended, as between Parties to that Convention

contract (or keel laying) and delivery were scheduled before the
dates specified in these regulations, but which has been subject to
delay in delivery beyond the specified date due to unforeseen
circumstances beyond the control of the builder and the owner, may
be accepted by the Administration as an ‘‘existing ship’’

design and construction of sludge tanks to facilitate their cleaning
and the discharge of residues to reception facilities, the following

sludge tanks in ships operating with heavy oil, that
needs to be purified for use, should be fitted with
adequate heating arrangements or other suitable
means to facilitate the pumpability and discharge of
the tank content;

However, arrangements may be made for draining
of settled water from the sludge tanks by means of
manually operated self-closing valves or equivalent
arrangements; and

The pump should be of a suitable type,
capacity and discharge head, having regard to the
characteristics of the liquid being pumped and the size
and position of tank(s) and the overall discharge time

Interim guidelines for the approval of alternative

of oil tankers under regulation 13F(5)
of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
Unified Interpretations
Preamble
1
The purpose of these Interim Guidelines, hereunder referred to as ‘‘the
Guidelines’’, is to provide an international standard for the evaluation and approval of
alternative methods of design and construction of oil tankers under regulation 13F(5)
of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
...
3
The oil outflow performance of double-hull tankers which comply with
regulation 13F(3) may be different
...
The selected
reference double-hull designs exhibit a favourable oil outflow performance
...
Reappraisal of the Guidelines may be
appropriate when more information on tanker accident damage has become available
and more experience with the application of these Guidelines has been gained
...
The tide values specified in section 5
represent realistic average tidal changes which have been chosen to identify the
influence of tidal changes on the oil outflow in case of stranding
...
1 Regulation 13F of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 specifies structural requirements for new tankers of 600 tdw and above, contracted on or after 6 July 1993

Various detailed requirements and permissible exceptions
are given in the regulation

The requirements of
paragraph (9) of regulation 13F also apply to alternative designs
...
Such analysis should address any specific risks
associated with the alternative design, and if there are any, it should be demonstrated
that safe solutions exist to cope with them
...

be constructed of steel or other equivalent material as required by regulation 42 of
chapter II-2 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention as amended
...

...
For larger sizes the approval procedure should be specially considered
...
1 An Administration of a Party to MARPOL 73/78 which receives a request for
approval of an alternative tanker design for the purpose of complying with regulation
13F should first evaluate the proposed design and satisfy itself that the design
complies with these Guidelines and other applicable regulations of Annex I of
MARPOL 73/78
...
Only design concepts which have been approved in principle by
the MEPC are allowed for the construction of tankers to which regulation 13F(5)
applies
...
4 This study should cover the full range of ship sizes with a minimum of four
different ship sizes, unless the approval is requested for only a limited range of vessel
sizes

1 The oil pollution prevention performance of a tanker design is expressed by a
non-dimensional oil pollution prevention index E which is a function of the three oil
outflow parameters: ‘‘probability of zero oil outflow’’, ‘‘mean oil outflow’’ and ‘‘extreme
oil outflow’’
...
4
...
2 The three oil outflow parameters are defined as follows:
Probability of zero oil outflow
...
If, e
...
, the parameter
equals 0
...
Mean oil outflow parameter
...
The mean oil outflow parameter is
expressed as a fraction of the total cargo oil capacity at 98% tank filling
...
The extreme oil outflow is calculated – after the
volumes of all outflow cases have been arranged in ascending order – as the sum of
the outflow volumes between 0
...
0 cumulative probability, multiplied by their
respective probabilities
...
The extreme oil
outflow parameter is expressed as a fraction of the total cargo oil capacity at 98%
tank filling
...

This may, however, be required in
special cases, depending on special features of the design

For presentation purposes, a simplified hull
form and level of compartmentation have been assumed
...
This example is evaluated in
accordance with the requirements for ‘‘concept approval’’
...
An application of the Guidelines will typically follow these seven basic steps:
1)
Vessel design: In accordance with paragraph 3
...
2)
Establishing of the full load condition: In accordance with paragraph 5
...
5 of
the Guidelines, a full load condition is developed
...
Independent sets of damage cases are derived for side
(collision) and bottom (stranding) damage
...
This
step is only required for the final shipyard design, in accordance with paragraph
5
...

...
5)
Computation of the oil outflow for each damage case: Calculate the oil
outflow for each damage case
...
0 m, 2
...
0 m tide conditions
...
For bottom
damage, a hydrostatic balance method is applied
...
6)
Computation of the oil outflow parameters: The cumulative probability of
occurrence of each level of oil outflow is developed
...
The associated oil outflow
parameters are then computed
...

Computation of the Pollution Prevention Index E: The new design has

Step 1: Vessel design
The arrangement and dimensions of the example barge are as shown in figure A1
(Barge arrangement)
...
However, for actual designs
submitted for approval as an alternative to double hull, the vessel must meet all
applicable regulations of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
...

Step 2: Establishing of the full load condition
An intact load condition shall be developed with the vessel at its maximum assigned
load line with zero trim and heel
...
) should be assumed
...
All cargo oil
tanks shall be assumed to be filled to 98% of their capacities
...
For this example, it is assumed that the permeability of the cargo oil tanks is 0
...
95 for the double bottom/wing tank ballast spaces
...
Cargo tank capacity at 98% filling: C ¼ 0:98 Â 38,491 = 37,721 m3 :
For this barge, for simplicity reasons, zero weight for the constants and consumables
has been assumed
...
0 m assigned load line the following values for the cargo
oil mass (W) and density (c ) are obtained:
W = displacement – light barge weight = 33,949 t
c = 33,949 t/C = 0
...
2
...
This involves applying the
probability density distribution functions for side damage (figures 1 and 2) and the
probability density distribution functions for bottom damage (figures 3 and 4)
...
The sum of the probabilities should equal 1
...
208
In this example, the compartment groupings and the use of the probability density
functions is shown by a ‘‘step-wise’’ evaluation method
...
For
instance, it is assumed (for the side damage) to step through the functions as follows:
longitudinal location = 100 steps, longitudinal extent = 100 steps, transverse
penetration = 100 steps, vertical location = 10 steps, and vertical extent = 100 steps
...
The probability of each step is
equal to the area under the probability density distribution curve over that increment
...
There are many redundant incidents which damage identical compartments
...
For a typical double-hull
tanker, the 109 damage incidents reduce down to 100 to 400 unique groupings of
compartments
...
3
...
For side damage, the probability of a given damage
longitudinal location, longitudinal extent, transverse penetration, vertical location and
vertical extent is the product of the probabilities of these five damage characteristics
...
10L per step
Longitudinal extent at 3 steps
= 0
...
10L per step
Transverse penetration at 6 steps
= 0
...
05B per step
...
Therefore, the probabilities of vertical location and vertical extent are
taken as 1
...
This is a reasonable assumption as the double
bottom height is only 10% of the depth
...
1D (see figure 2, function f s5) yields a value of
0
...
This means that the probability of the centre of damage location falling within
the double bottom region is 1/200
...
Table A1
(Increments for step-wise side damage evaluation) gives the range for each step, the
mean or average value over the step, and the probability of occurrence of that
particular step
...
The average penetration is
0
...
5% of the breadth
...
The probability
equals 0
...
0B and 0
...
The area under each
probability density function is 1
...
0

A total of ten longitudinal locations, three longitudinal extents and six transverse
penetrations will be evaluated
...
The damaged compartments are
found by overlaying each combination of location/extent/penetration onto the barge
...
Any compartment which extends
into this damage zone is considered damaged
...
Incidents with identical damaged
compartments are collected into a single damage case by summing the probabilities
of the individual damage incidents
...
The first damage
location X 1 is centred 0

The first damage extent Y 1 has
an average length of 0

The average value for the first transverse penetration Z 1

2 Bottom damage evaluation
For bottom damage, the probability of a given damage longitudinal location,
longitudinal extent, vertical penetration, transverse location and transverse extent is,
analogously to the side damage evaluation, the product of the probabilities of these
five damage characteristics
...
10L per step
Longitudinal extent at 8 steps
= 0
...
10L per step
Vertical penetration at 6 steps
= 0
...
05D per step
...
Therefore, the probabilities of transverse extent and transverse location
are taken as 1
...
Compartment groupings are developed using the same process as previously
described for side damage
...
The damage incidents to be taken into
account for groundings sum up to a total of ð10Þ Â ð8Þ Â ð6Þ ¼ 480 separate
incidents
...
Table A3
(Increments for step-wise bottom damage definition) gives the range for each step,
the mean or average value over the step, and the probability of occurrence of that
particular step
...
00920
P 121–6ðX1 Y2 Z 1–6Þ ¼ ð0:0240Þ Â ð0:2500Þ Â ð1:0Þ

...
00280
P 211–6ðX2 Y1 Z 1–6Þ ¼ ð0:0320Þ Â ð0:38333Þ Â ð1:0Þ
= 0
...
Therefore the likelihood of damaging the WB1 compartment sums up to:
P WB1 ¼ P11 þ P12 þ P13 þ P21 ¼ 0:03027:

By stepping through the barge for all 180 incidents and combining unique damage
compartment groupings, we obtain the compartment grouping and probability values
shown in table A2 (Probability values for side damage)

1 Side damage evaluation
For side damage, 100% of the oil in a damaged cargo oil tank is assumed to outflow
into the sea
...
The oil outflow for these tanks is as follows:
CO1 (98% full volume)
=
9,430 m3
CO2 (98% full volume)
=
28,291 m3
CO1 + CO2 (98% full volume)
=
37,721 m3

...
The vessel is
assumed to remain stranded on a shelf at its original intact draught

An inert gas overpressure of 0
...
1
...

...
In accordance with paragraph 5
...

...
When calculating the oil volume captured in these spaces, no
assumptions are made on how the oil and seawater is distributed in these spaces
...
0 m tide, with a
2
...
0 m tidal drop
...
1
...
For this example, the appropriate tidal conditions are therefore
0
...
0 m and 4
...
The actual oil volume lost from a cargo tank is calculated for each of the three tidal
conditions, assuming hydrostatic balance as follows:
zc Á c Á g þ 100Áp ¼ zs Á s Á g
where:
zc = height of remaining oil in the damaged tank (m)
c = cargo oil density (0
...
81 m/s2)
Áp = set pressure of cargo tank pressure/vacuum valves (0
...
025 t/m3)
See also figure A4
...
40 m
...
64 – 7
...
24 m
...
In this case the total volume ðV wo Þ of oil and water in the water ballast tanks is:
V wo
=
2  ½20  2 þ zwo  2  60  0:95 ¼ 6,202 m3
where:
zwo = 0:5ðzc þ zs Þ ¼ 7:20 m
...
The oil outflow of cargo tank CO2 is:
V outflow
=
10:24 Â 36 Â 45 Â 0:99 À 0:5 Â 6,202 = 13,322 m3
and the total oil outflow of cargo tanks CO1 and CO2 is:
V outflow
=
10:24 Â 36 Â 60 Â 0:99 À 0:5 Â 6,202 = 18,796 m3

Oil tank and double bottom
damage occurs in three combinations

Step 6: Computation of the oil outflow parameters
In this step the oil outflow parameters are computed in accordance with paragraph
4
...
To facilitate calculation of these parameters, place the damage
groupings in a table in ascending order as a function of oil outflow
...
Tables A5 and A6 (Cumulative
probability and oil outflow values) contain the outflow values for the side damage and
bottom damage for the three tide conditions
...
From table A5, we see that the
probability of zero outflow for the side damage condition is 0
...
0 m tide) condition is 0
...
Mean oil outflow parameter, OM : This is the weighted average of all cases, and is
obtained by summing the products of each damage case probability and the
computed outflow for that damage case
...
9 and 1
...
It
equals the sum of the products of each damage case probability with a cumulative
probability between 0
...
0 and its corresponding oil outflow, with the result
multiplied by 10
...
In
accordance with paragraph 5
...

parameters for the 0

Regulation 13G(7) permits other
structural or operational arrangements to be accepted as alternatives, provided that
such alternatives provide at least the same level of protection against oil pollution in
the event of collision or stranding, and are approved by the Administration based on
guidelines developed by the Organization

Methods approved by the MEPC at
the time of development of the guidelines are detailed in the appendix

The required minimum protection against accidental oil outflow is governed by
regulation 13G(4), which stipulates that tankers to which regulation 13G applies shall
have wing tanks or double-bottom spaces, not used for the carriage of oil and meeting
the width and height requirements of regulation 13E(4), covering at least 30% of Lt
for the full depth of the ship on each side or at least 30% of the projected bottom
shell area within the length Lt , where Lt is as defined in regulation 13E(2)

Unified Interpretations

The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its forty-first session (30
March to 3 April 1998), noted that a large number of tankers of 25 years of age and
over would potentially use the hydrostatic balance loading operational alternative
which is permitted by MARPOL regulation I/13G(7), in order to continue to trade for
another five years, and recognized that there was a need to develop a unified
interpretation with the purpose of avoiding any potential problems which might arise
with the hydrostatic balance loading

Filling levels in the tanks identified for HBL should be equal to the maximum
level determined by the formula shown in the Appendix to the Guidelines using
uniform nominal oil density and corresponding draught
...
16
When investigating outflow due to side damage, the side offering the more
unfavourable EOS number should only be used
...
17
The number of tanks to be HBL is determined by the conditions underlined by
EOS3 not being greater than EOS2 for the ship arranged with non-cargo side
tanks and furthermore not being greater than 85% of the EOS1
...
Filling levels in HBL tanks for the actual loading conditions are determined by
the HBL formula of the Appendix to the Guidelines using actual density and
draught at each HBL tank location
...
18
Partial filling less than HBL height may alternatively be considered
...
Where cargo levels less than maximum cargo level calculated by the HBL
formula of the Appendix to the Guidelines are used for EOS3 calculation, the
actual filling levels will be calculated as follows:
238
ðhc  KÞ Â c  g þ 100Á

where K is a correction factor h(HBL)/h(PF) with:

(called for by Annex II of MARPOL 73/78,
as amended)
Preamble
1
Annex II of the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating
thereto (MARPOL 73/78) and as further amended by the Organization
(hereafter referred to as Annex II), inter alia provides for the control of
operational discharges of noxious liquid substances carried in bulk by ships
...
2
Annex II prohibits the discharge into the sea of noxious liquid
substances except when the discharge is made under specified conditions
...
For this purpose the noxious
liquid substances have been divided into four categories, A, B, C and D
...
These conditions, which are not reproduced in this document,
include such parameters as: the maximum quantity which may be
discharged into the sea, speed of ship, distance from nearest land, depth
of water, maximum concentration of substance in ship’s wake or dilution of
substance prior to discharge
...
5
The standards for procedures and arrangements called for by Annex II
(hereafter referred to as the Standards) have been developed in response to
resolution 13 of the International Conference on Marine Pollution, 1973,
and in compliance with regulations 5, 5A and 8 of Annex II
...
6
The Standards took effect on 6 April 1987, the date of implementation of Annex II, and apply to all ships which carry noxious liquid
substances in bulk
...
To
ensure compliance with Annex II, the requirements of Annex II and those
contained in the Standards should be considered together
...
The Manual
should contain the information specified in the Standards and the
requirements of Annex II
...
9
Regulation 5A of Annex II requires that the efficiency of the cargo
pumping system of a tank certified fit to carry Category B or C substances
be tested in accordance with standards developed by the Organization
...
The pump stripping efficiency
determined by the test will be assumed to be the stripping efficiency
achieved when unloading the tank in accordance with the specified
procedures
...
11 Throughout the Standards the word ‘‘discharge’’ is used to refer to the
discharge of residues or residue/water mixtures either into the sea or to
reception facilities, whilst the word ‘‘unloading’’ is used to refer to the
unloading of cargo to receivers, terminals or ports
...
It
is on the basis of these Standards that the Administration should approve the
procedures and arrangements necessary for the issue of an International
Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid
Substances in Bulk or a Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Dangerous
Chemicals in Bulk or an International Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage
of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk to each such ship
...
It is not intended that these Standards be used by the
ship’s crew
...
2 Scope
1
...
1 These Standards apply to all ships which carry Category A, B, C or
D noxious liquid substances in bulk, including those provisionally assessed
as such
...
2
...
For Category A substances, the Standards identify a prewash
procedure which may be used in lieu of measuring the concentration of the
effluent from a tank from which tank washings containing a Category A
substance are discharged
...
For Category B and C substances, the Standards identify
procedures and arrangements for assessing compliance with regulation 5A
...
The prewash procedures contained in appendix B to the Standards also
enable Administrations to approve the prewash procedure referred to in
regulation 5A(6)(b)(i)
...
2
...
303
Annex II
1
...
2
...
All constructions, materials and equipment fitted as a requirement
of Annex II and of the Standards shall therefore comply with the IBC Code
or the BCH Code for all substances of Category A, B or C the chemical
tanker is certified fit to carry in accordance with its Certificate of Fitness
under that Code

Annex II
Prewash procedures for non-solidifying substances
1
Tanks should be washed by means of a rotary water jet, operated at
sufficiently high water pressure
...
In the case of Category B and C substances only one location
need be used
...
If this condition cannot be met the washing
procedure should be repeated three times, with thorough stripping of the
tank between washings
...
s at 208C should be washed with hot water (temperature at least
608C)
...
A washing machine cycle is defined as the
period between two consecutive identical orientations of the washing
machine (rotation through 3608)
...
Prewash procedures for solidifying substances
1
Tanks should be washed as soon as possible after unloading
...
2
Residues in hatches and manholes should preferably be removed prior
to the prewash
...
For ships built before 1 July 1994, therefore, the unamended text of
appendix B still applies

9: Guidelines for monitoring sulphur content of residual fuel oils
Guidelines for monitoring the world-wide average
sulphur content of residual fuel oils supplied for use
on board ships
Preface
1
The primary objective of the guidelines is to establish an agreed
method to monitor the average sulphur content of residual fuel oils supplied
for use on board ships
...
Introduction
2
The basis for these guidelines is provided in regulation 14(2) of Annex
VI of MARPOL 73/78 and in Conference Resolution 4 (in MP/CONF
...
Among the emissions addressed by
Annex VI are emissions resulting from the combustion of fuels containing
sulphur
...
It is estimated that independent testing companies undertake up to 50,000
tests annually, which cover between 25 and 35% of all deliveries
...
These figures are publicised
regularly and are currently in the order of 3% by mass

Provider of sampling and testing services:
A company that, on a commercial basis, provides testing and
sampling services of bunker fuels delivered to ships for the
purpose of assessing quality parameters of these fuels, including
the sulphur content
...
4
Monitoring and calculation of yearly and three-year
rolling average
4
...
Every year the average sulphur content of residual fuels shall be
calculated
...
4
...
The calculation of the average sulphur content is executed as follows:
For a certain calendar year, the sulphur contents of the samples
analysed (one sample for each delivery of which the sulphur content is
determined by fuel oil analysis) are recorded
...
The outcome of that division is the average sulphur content
of residual fuel for that year
...
5% sulphur plotted against the quantity of fuel
associated with each incremental sulphur content range shall be made
available by 31 January of each year
...

...
Setting of the reference value
5
The reference value of the world-wide average sulphur content of
residual fuel oils supplied for use on board ships shall be Aw, where Aw = Acr
as calculated in January of the year following the first three years in which
data were collected on the basis of these guidelines
...
Agenda setting of consideration of measures to reduce SOx emissions

If, in any given year following the setting of the reference value, Acr
exceeds Aw by a number equal to or greater than 0

MEPC shall
continually review this excess value (now 0
...
Providers of sampling and testing services
7
For the purpose of the initial five years operational period, there are
presently three providers of sampling and testing services under these
guidelines
...
1
They shall preferably be IACS members, but shall in any way be
subject to the approval of the Marine Environment Protection
Committee, which shall apply these criteria
...
...
2
They shall provide services governed by a documented Code of
Ethics
...
4
They shall be independent as regards to commercial interest in
the outcome of monitoring
...
5
They shall implement and maintain an internationally recognized quality system, certified by an independent auditing body,
which ensures reproducibility and repeatability of services which
are internally audited, monitored and carried out under
controlled conditions
...
...
This party will
process the information and will provide the outcome in the agreed format
to MEPC
...
Therefore the third party involved
shall treat such information as indicated by any party involved as
confidential, without prejudice to the information required by the
Committee for the purposes of monitoring and related decision making
...
The costs of monitoring shall, for a 5-year operational period, be borne on a
voluntary basis by the Member States listed in appendix 2 of these
guidelines
...
On that basis, the Marine Environment Protection
Committee, in consultation with the Secretary-General of IMO, is invited
to consider more permanent financial arrangements to cover the costs of the
agreed monitoring system
