Designed to prevent and minimise the pollution created by the shipping industry.
Annex 1 - prevention of pollution from oil
Annex 2 - Control of pollution from Noxious liquids in bulk
Annex 3 - Prevention of pollution from harmful substances in packaged form
Annex 4 - Prevention of pollution by sewage from ships
Annex 5 - Prevention of pollution by garbage from ships

Annex 1?
Annex 1 covers pollution prevention from oil from operational measures and also accidental discharge.

Annual
Sludge tank:
Standard discharge connection - PCD, internal diameter, outside diameter and flange thickness
Designated pumps
Have no discharge connections to Bilge tanks, tank tops, oil filtering equipment or over boards
May be connected to the same shore side discharging connection as bilge
What are the regulations regarding Annex 1 in respect to Oil filtering equipment?
A design which is approved by the administration and will ensure that any oily mixture discharged into the sea will have a concentration lower than 15ppm. With an alarm indication when this value is not maintained as well as an arrangement to stop the discharge.
How is discharge of oil controlled?
The ship must be proceeding en route
The oily mixture must pass through oil filtering equipment approved by the administration
Does not exceed 15ppm
Does not originate from cargo pump room bilge wells
Not mixed with oil cargo residue
Antarctic Areas prohibit discharge
What is the Oil record Book (part 1)?
Machinery space operations
Person who Carries out the operation must do the entry
Logs:
Ballasting or cleaning of fuel tanks
Collection and disposal of oil residue
Dischage overboard or to shore
Bunkering of fuel or lube oil in bulk
Failure of Oil Filtering Equipment
Available at all time for inspections
Signed by Chief and Master weekly
Oil record book general instructions
(A) BALLASTING OR CLEANING OF OIL FUEL TANKS
(B) DISCHARGE OF DIRTY BALLAST OR CLEANING WATER FROM OIL FUEL TANKS REFERRED

(C) COLLECTION, TRANSFER AND DISPOSAL OF OIL RESIDUES (SLUDGE)
(D) NON-AUTOMATIC STARTING OF DISCHARGE OVERBOARD, TRANSFER OR DISPOSAL
OTHERWISE OF BILGE WATER WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED IN MACHINERY SPACES
(E) AUTOMATIC STARTING OF DISCHARGE OVERBOARD, TRANSFER OR DISPOSAL OTHERWISE
OF BILGE WATER WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED IN MACHINERY SPACES
(F) CONDITION OF THE OIL FILTERING EQUIPMENT
(G) ACCIDENTAL OR OTHER EXCEPTIONAL DISCHARGES OF OIL
(H) BUNKERING OF FUEL OR BULK LUBRICATING OIL
(I) ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES AND GENERAL REMARKS
What is SOPEP?
Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan
Must be approved by Administration
Consists of:
Procedure to follow by Master to report incident
List of authorities to contact
Actions to be taken to reduce or control discharge
Procedures and point of on the ship to coordination with national and local authorities
Non spark shovels
Booms
Pads
Gloves goggles
Granules
Polar code
The polar code applies to ships sailing in polar waters. Stipulates the additional measures that need to be taken to ensure that pollution of the environment is prevented
What is Annex 2?
Annex 2 is the prevention of pollution for noxious liquids in bulk
Gives information on emergency spillage and how to react, who to report it to as well as design and construction for storage
What is Annex 3?
Annex 3 - harmful substances in packaged form
packing, marking, documentation and stowage
REFER TO IMDG code
MSDS: How goods are transported saftey, and prevent fire how to combat fire, spills, medical treatment to injured personnel , storage comparability.
What is Annex 4?
ANNEX 4 - Prevention of pollution by sewage
Lays out the requirements for sewage systems and discharging shore side or over board.
International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate
System:
Sewage treatment plant approved by the administration
Sewage comminuting and disinfecting system approved by the administration
A holding tank which can hold all sewage as per the number of people on board and other relevant factors, approved by administration
Discharging:
Comminuting and disinfecting - 3 miles or more
Not Comminuted and disinfected - 12 miles or more
Treatment plant when the is no visible sign of discharge (solids or discolouration)
more than 4 knots at a rate approved by administration
BOD biological oxygen demand
Measures the amount of oxygen required by the microorganisms to break down sewage in the waste water ( 20mg/l)
Coliforms – up to 100 CFU/100ml
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) measures the amount of solid particles in the water up to (35 mg/l)
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) Measures the amount of oxygen required by the microorganisms to break down sewage in the waste water ( 20mg/l)
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) mesures the amount of oxygène required to chemically break down organic and polluants in water
Chlorine (Free) – up to 0.5 mg/l
pH – between 6.0 – 8.5
What is Annex 5?
Annex 5 - Pollution Prevention from Garbage
Food Garbage will no be discharged unless:
3 miles from shore and has been comminuted or ground to less then 25mm
12 miles and have not been treated as above
All vessels above 100 tonnes must have garbage management plan and Garbage Record book.
What is Annex 6?
Annex 6 refers to the prevention of air pollution from ships
International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate (IAPPC)
International Energy Efficiency Certificate (IEEC)
Including:
Ozone depleting substances
NOx
SOx
Particulate Matter
Volatile Organic Compounds
Additionally
Energy Efficiency of Existing Ships (EEXI)
Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships (EEDI)
Carbon Intensity Index (CII)
NOx Technical code
Shipbpard Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)
What are NOx?
NOx are produced during high temperature combustion.
Nox technical code 2008
Applies to all engines above 130Kw
Apart from Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG)
Tier I,II,III - Each tier is split into High (2000+), Medium (130-2000+ RPM) and Low (Less than 130RPM) speed engines
Tier III -
HS - 3.4g/kWh
MS - uses a formula depending on engine speed
LS - 2.0g/kWh
Emission Control Areas
North America
US Caribbean Sea
Baltic Sea
North Sea
Mediterranean Sea
Canadian arctic
Norwegian Sea
What is the CII?
Carbon Intensity Indicator
measures the ships operational efficiency based on the amount of CO2 per Tonne Mile
A ship should calculate its annual CII - g/tonne NM with a continuous improvement year after year
Ship is given a Rating A,B,C,D,E
Rated as D for 3 years or E, the ship should provide corrective actions with reivised SEEMP
Improvements
Ship speed optimisation
Trim optimisation
Weather routing
Ballast and draft optimisation
What is SEEMP?
Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan
Will provide how to calculate the annual CII
States how the ship will achieve the CII for the next 3 years
Plan for self review
What is EEDI?
Energy Efficiency Design Index is a measure of the technical efficiency of new ships
Improvements
Improved hull design
Waste heat recovery
Reduced Electrical Consumption
What is EEXI?
Technical operation efficiency
The Energy Efficiency of Existing ships index
Created to improve the technical efficiency of existing ships
Improvements
Power Limitation
Wind assistance
Propeller optimisation
