PREVENTION OF POLLUTION BY NOXIUS LIQUID SUBSTANCE

INTERNATIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION CERTIFICATE – FOR NOXIOUS LIQUID

SUBSTANCES IN BULK

PUMPING AND PIPING ARRANGEMENTS

< 1 JUL 1986 CAT X,Y not more than 300 lts
CAT Z not more than 900 lts
1 JUL 1986 < 1 JAN 2007 X,Y not more than 100 lts
Z not more than 300 lts
.> 1 JAN 2007 X,Y,Z – not more than 75 lts

PUMPING ARRANGEMNTS

- Discharge should be underwater (if only Z is being carried, then disch needn‟t be
underwater)
- The diameter of the pipe = (Qs/5.Ls)
Qs – Rate of discharge
Ls – Length from the fwd perpendicular

- The discharge should be such that its not being sucked by ships sea water suction
- Should not come in contact with the boundary layer of the ship

DISCHARGES

CAT X
- After cargo unloading, the tank is washed until the total concentration of the substance in
the effluent is </= 0.1 %
- This is given to the reception facilities
- CARGO RECORD BOOK –entry – Endorsed by the surveyor
- Now the tank is considered clean and can be ballasted

CAT Y,Z
- Same as x, after unloading, the tank is washed until the concentration of the substance in
the effluent is </= 0.1 % by weight
- Given to the shore facilities
- Entry made in CARGO RECORD BOOK – Endorsed by the surveyor
- Tank is considered clean

Now, if the tanks are used for ballasting, how is it to be discharged

- Should be enroute
- 7 knots – if self propelled
- 4 knots- if not self propelled
- Not less than 12 nm from nearest land with 25 m depth min

Remember pre wash of the tanks shall be accepted when

 - The ship promises pre wash in the next immediate port – (provided its also ensured that
the port has the required facilities)
- if cargo residues is removed by ventilation
- if the same substance is going to be loaded again

AMENDMENTS

NEW CHAPTER -4 – “REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR SHIPS”

INTRO
- Shipping contributes 3% of the total emission s in the world in terms of co2 emitted for
/ton of cargo
- Studies say that it will increase rapidly due to the demand in the future to 75%.
- Hence international bodies pressurised IMO to take some regulatory actions in this
regard
- Thus came into being , Mandatory measures to reduce emission of Green House gas
(CO2) from ships which was implemented via
“CHAP 4 – REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR SHIPS “
ENTRY : 1ST JAN 2013

This introduces 2 mandatory measures

1. EEDI
2. SEEMP

EEDI- ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX

For all NEW ships > 400 GT
- This lays restrictions on emission of Co2 /ton/nm
- Formula = (power x sfoc x carbon conversion)/ (capacity x speed)
- The value obtained from this is “ ACTUAL EEDI”
- ACUTAL EEDI </= REQURIED EEDI

Required EEDI = ((1-x)/100) x Ref line value

Where
Values of x , Ref line values are given in EEDI tech file

On satisfaction with EEDI and on verification of SEEMP the ship is issued with
“INTERNATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATE – IEEC”
- This is valid till the life of ship, unless change of flag or a major conversion

EXCEPTIONS:- RORO’S , HYBRID ENGINES, ELECTRIC , TURBINE ETC

Coz, for ships like ro ro‟s becoz of the high speed, the Actual index value would deviate greatly
- Soon these will also be taken into consideration

Remember: This is also a measure on Efficiency of ships

i.e. if co2 has to be reduced, then less fuel has to be consumed, if an engine is engineered to
consume less fuel – its efficiency increases
Thus its an important measure on EFFICIENCY OF SHIPS
SEEMP – SHIP ENERGY EFFICIENCY MGMT PLAN
- All ships > 400 GT should have SEEMP

Gives procedures as to
- Improve
- Plan
- Monitor
- Assess
the energy efficiency

SEEMP comprises
- Fuel oil efficiency measures
- Hull and propeller optimisation
- Ship energy optimisation
- Machinery energy optimisation
- Cargo handling optimisation

In short, it tries to INCREASE OVERALL EFFICIENCY DECREASING THE ENERGY

CONSUMPTION

- Executed and accounted via SEEMP

ALSO REMEMBER
- Any non compliance of verification of SEEMP and EEDI will lead to non issue of
IEEC but in no way affect IAPPC
