  1. ULS MARINE FUEL ”AT BERTH”SAFE ENFORCEMENT EMSA Meeting Lisbon, 15 October 2009

  2. MEETING WELCOMED! • Use of ULS MGO possible but it requires: • risk assessment on safe operations • eventual upgrades be completed • Stakeholders meeting much welcomed • Meeting suggested in 2003 & 2006 • No alternative than use of ULS MGO • AEA Study indentifies areas on which risk assessment is required

  3. ISSUES/CHALLENGES • Items to be addressed cover: • technical measures • operational measures, procedures & training • physical properties of the fuel • Challenges are related to: • technical solutions to be provided • supply of parts & upgrade completion • time frame to complete modifications • minimum required fuel viscosity? lubricity? • 0.1% fuel flash point temperature? Contamination (e.g. FEMA)?

  4. OIL TANKERS • Oil tankers calling at EU ports: ~ 2300 double hull tankers (OCIMF) of which ~ 1400 tankers with steam driven pumps (OCIMF) ~ 6000 port calls/year at EU ports (INTERTANKO) • Not all installations are alike • Upgrades: ”packages”, ”actual/individual”? • Tanker operators initiated the process • Expereince indicates time is short • Many tankers waiting for upgrades • > 8 months from initiation to completion of the work • Not sufficient upgraded by end of 2009

  5. WAY AHEAD • Enforcement with due regard to safety • Phase-in transition until 1 January 2011 • Oil tankers should document upgrades and measures were completed or initiated • Upgrades/measures according to risk assessments documented by service providers and confirmed by class/third expert party • SAFE ENFORCEMENT – no cutting corners!
