Navigating towards clean

and sustainable shipping EMSA’s actions on Clean Shipping

A multicultural environment

EMSA 5 year strategy

…EMSA has to demonstrate

to all its stakeholders, both

institutional and across the

maritime industry, that it can

make a difference by

promoting a safe, clean and

economically viable maritime

sector in EU...

Prevention of pollution caused by ships

1. Port Reception Facilities

2. Ship source pollution prevention

3. Insurance of ship-owners for maritime claims

4. Air pollution (sulphur)

5. Greenhouse gases & climate change

6. Ballast Water and invasive species

7. Ship Recycling

EMSA’s actions address:

Prevention of pollution caused by ships

CFC halons Volatile Organic Compounds(VOC) Exhaust gases (SOx, NOx and CO2)

Oil Ballast Water Dangerous Goods Solid residues Antifouling Sewage Waters

EMSA actions on air pollution Providing technical advice on safety and operational

barriers

Organising Ad-Hoc Expert Groups with industry and Member States

(in 2012, 2013, 2014: 3 meetings on LNG, 1 on scrubbing technology, 2 workshops on the implementation of the Sulphur Directive, 2 Workshops for Ballast Water Management, etc ) Assessing the need for further EU guidance and

developing (e.g. interpretative guidelines for the implementation of PRF directive, inspection guidance catering the Sulphur Directive, etc ) Procurement of an EMSA study on Standards and Rules

for LNG bunkering ►

Assisting Member States and the EC

EMSA actions on air pollution

Annual review of the Member States’ reports on compliance

with the sulphur standards

Assisting the EC in the implementation of the Sulphur Directive though an agreed action plan (development of inspection guidance, training for sulphur inspectors, etc.)

Supporting the Commission in preparation of the Implementing Acts

(e.g. frequency of inspections, frequency of sampling, sampling method, sampling points) Facilitating harmonised reporting of the implementation and

enforcement (EMSA is currently developing , a dedicated Union information system known as THETIS-S which will be available as from 01/01/2015 )

Strengthening and harmonizing

monitoring and enforcement:

EMSA actions on air pollution Active participation in IMO Committees and Correspondence

Groups (e.g. MEPC, CCC & PPR, Correspondence Group on the IGF Code, Correspondence Group Fuel- Oil Availability, Correspondence Group Fuel- Oil Quality) Acting as Technical Secretariat for the new ‘European

Sustainable Shipping Forum’ (e.g. Working Groups on LNG and on Scrubbers) Follow-up to technical recommendations and

implementation of EU co-financed projects (i.e. TEN-T and Regional Development Projects: DMA North European LNG infrastructure study, LNG in Baltic Sea Ports, InnoShip, Clean Baltic Shipping

Support to international and EU

initiatives on sustainable shipping:

EMSA actions on greenhouse gases and climate change

Active participation in IMO Committees and Correspondence Group

(MEPC, Correspondence Group on EEDI review, Correspondence Group on Further Energy Efficiency measures (International MRV) where EMSA / DG MOVE have developed the ISPI concept) Cooperation with relevant research institutions and/or pilot

projects (e.g. FMI – Estimating 2011 emissions within EU waters) Provide technical assistance to the Commission proposal on

deliberations for the Regulation Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of Ship Emissions

EMSA’S WORK FOR ESSF

• EMSA’s role is laid down in the Commission

Decision and a consequent working arrangement

with DG MOVE and DG ENV.

• EMSA acts as secretariat and technical advisor on

three sub-groups (namely LNG, Scrubbers and

Implementation issues) and as secretariat in the

rest of the groups.

• Currently five project officers in EMSA are

involved.

16


Current work

LNG Subgroup:

• 4 meetings since December 2013. Next meeting 11/12/14.

• Assessing the need for additional standards at international level, and for possible guidance/harmonized rules at EU level for ship-shore interface (bunkering).

• Two submissions to IMO MSC 94

• A submission for further standardization of the bunkering connectors

• A submission for a standard format for

LNG deliveries containing pre-defined

fields (a bunker delivery note

describing LNG properties / characteristics)

17


Current work

EGCS Subgroup:

• 4 meetings since December 2013

• Next one is foreseen for 2015.

• The sub-group focuses mainly on minimizing both technical as well as regulatory barriers hampering the take-up of scrubbers as an alternative Sulphur emission abatement method.

• Two submissions to IMO MEPC 67

• One related to amendments to the IMO Exhaust Gas Cleaning Guidelines and the pH calculation methodology of the scrubber wash water.

• One related to an amendment to the standard text of Marpol Annex VI bunker delivery note allowing ships installed with scrubbers to bunker heavy fuel oil even when operating in a Sulphur emission control area (SECA).

18


Current work

Implementation of the S-Directive:


• Next one is foreseen for January 2015.

• The sub-group focuses mainly focused on issues related to the implementation of the Revised Sulphur Directive .

• Development of inspection guidance

• Fuel Sampling and Methodology

19


Current work

ESSF Subgroup on Competitiveness :



• The sub-group focuses mainly focused on identifying key factors for a competitive shipping sector.

• Modal back shift due to Environmental Legislation

• Identifying trades and shipping lines that have or are about to lose their competitive advantage against other transport modes

20


Current work

ESSF Subgroup on Research and Innovation :



• The sub-group aims at determining how research, technological development and innovation can contribute to long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the shipping industry.

• Identify, prioritize and propose new research activities which may be used as input for the different research and funding programmes of the Commission (CEF, TEN-T, Horizon 2020).

21


Current work

ESSF Subgroup on Financing Aspects :



• The sub-group aims at determining a cost-efficient and coherent implementation of the provisions of the Sulphur Directive by exploring all financing opportunities, assess and recommend financial mechanisms within and beyond the EU financial framework.
