PC

65 The procedures of

sampling and analysis of ballast water were approved at MEPC65 for trial use.

MEPC also agreed that trial would be for 2 to 3 years following entry into force of the Convention.

MEPC further agreed that, during the trial period, PSC would refrain from applying criminal sanctions or detaining the ship based on only sampling.

ME

PC

67 To facilitate the entry in to force,

G8 will be reviewed and a correspondence group to be established

Guidelines for PSC to set out the procedure for PSC was adopted which includes following :

- To check documentation- To check the operation of BWTS- To conduct:

Indicative analysis of BWDetail analysis of ballast water

Samples taken during stripping operations using eductors is decided to be inappropriate

Ballast exchange and management

D-1: Ballast exchange

D-2: BW performance standardInstallation of BWMS

The convention will

take effect 12 months

after the ratification

requirements are met.

Preparation for Ballast convention

Application: All ships, but, the Convention shall not apply to:

(1) Ships not designed or constructed to carry ballast water and ships that carry only permanent ballast water (that is not discharged) in sealed tanks

(2) Ships of a Party which operate only in waters under the jurisdiction of that Party, or ships which operate only in waters under the jurisdiction of another Party

(3) Ships that operate only in waters under the jurisdiction of that Party and on the high seas(4) Warships

Upon the date of entry in to force, ships need:International Ballast Water Management Certificate

IMO Guidelines: Compliance verificationBallast Water Convention

G2- Guidelines for Ballast Water Sampling

Guidance for Ballast Water Sampling and Analysis

(MEPC 65- IMO BWM.2/Circ.42)

Article 9 (BWM Convention) # Verifying Validity of certificates # Inspecting ballast water records # Sampling of Ballast Water

# General Sampling procedures # PSC sampling kit. # Indicative analysis before detailed analysis

# Detailed sampling procedures Trial period of 2-3 years No detention in trial period

At MEPC 67(Oct 2014) the Guidelines for PSC under t he BWM convention was adopted. It takes “indicative sampli ng” approach which may require further analysis if nece ssary


PSC inspection-Ships Preparation, Pay attention to following items :

10

IMO Regulations

• International Ballast Water Management Certificate

• Ballast water management plan and records

• Maintenance of BWTS and familiarization

• Sampling inspection by PSC for analysis

USCG

• Bio fouling management plan and record (USCG)

• Record keeping (USCG and 2013VGP)

• Monitoring record (USCG and 2013VGP)

Other local reg.

• Various US states• Areas like ROPME, Persian

Gulf etc.• Flag states like Brazil,

Malaysia etc.

Vessels entering U.S. waters must now adhere to BWD S final rule, based on the implementation schedule in 33 CFR 151.2035, with be low options (Ballast water exchange can be allowed until implementation date o f installation of BWMS):

Referred documents ：TEC-0903, 0945, 0951, 0971, 0981

� Installation of BWMS� Use of U.S. public water� No ballast discharge� Discharge to facility onshore or other vessel

33 CFR 151.2025

USCG(Information regarding ballast)

� Ballast water management plan shall include “Detailed fouling maintenance and sediment removal procedures”

� BWMS to be approved by USCG � Alternate Management System (AMS) will allow for a 5 year acceptance of

BWMS approved by Non-US administrations (to IMO standards) during USCG approval process

� Application method of extension of implementation of BWDS was published

Extension by “01 JAN 2016” or “01 JAN 2017” may be granted for some vessels

（※2）（※2）

（※2）（※2）

＊Drydocking means hauling out of a vessel or placing a vessel in a drydock or slipway for an

examination of all accessible parts of the vessel’s underwater body and all through-hull

fittings.

Remarkable information （USCG’s understanding ）

�Can BWMS without AMS approval be fitted?→ No

�Is USCG rules applied to Minor islands (i.e.Saipan, Lota, Tenian, American Samoa)?

→ Yes（There are American EEZs around them ）

�In water survey is considered as scheduled drydock? → No（IWS granted by class can be accepted ）

�Are Guarantee dock and emergency dock is considered as scheduled dry dock?

→ No�When BWMS with AMS approval can not obtain USCG type approval, what will happen?

→ USCG type approved BWMS to be installed.13


Remarkable information （USCG’s understanding ）

�Is dry docking only for the purpose of propeller sh aft survey is considered as scheduled dry docking?

→ No�When serious damage at hull is found at In water su rvey and the vessel is on dry dock,the dry dock is consi dered as drydocking?

→ No�If vessel discharges no ballast water, BWMS to be f itted on the vessel?

→ No. Ballast water record book to be submitted to National Ballast Information Clear house when entering the US port.

2013VGP（Information regarding ballast and EAL)

Main items required by “2013Vessel General Permit” (2013VGP) are followings

�Management and monitoring of ballast water�Installation of Environmental Acceptance Lubricant

� MSDS （Material Safety Data Sheet） of EAL

� Documents to certify conformity of 2013VGP（issued by EAL maker）

� Submit Annual Report to EPA

Recordkeeping, reporting

“Example of “oil-to -sea interfaces”

＜ 2013VGP Part 2.2.9 ＞

・Stern Tubes・Rudder Bearings・Controllable Pitch Propeller・Wire Rope and Mechanical Equipment Subject to Immersion

・Thruster・Thruster Bearings・Azimuth Thrusters・Propulsion Pod・Stabilizers・Paddle Wheel Propulsion

17


1. No EAL compatible to machinery and equipment2. No Alternate product using EAL (e.g. wire rope)3. EAL conforming to machinery and equipment is not

available at any calling port4. Need to delay replacement or installation of EAL by

next dry docking

Definition of “ technically infeasible ”

＜ 2013VGP Part 2.2.9 ＞

Document describing reasons for not using EAL in all oil to sea interface (technically infeasible) to be onboard（2013VGP Part 4.2.9.j ）. 18


Remarkable information （Understanding of EPA ）

�Use of EAL to stern tube air sealing device is nece ssary or not.

→ Not must, strongly encouraged （2013VGP 2.2.1）

�If vessel discharge （ballast water, bilge water, gray water）outside 3 nm from shore 、monitoring for them is necessary or not.

→ No need�EAL is necessary to rescue boat and life boat?

→ Necessary for vessels with two stroke engine（2013VGP 2.2.21）

�Implementation date of USCG and that of 2013VGP is same, if extension of Implementation of USCG is approved, same extension is apply to VGP?

→ Yes（TEC-0981, 2013VGP 1.9.1） 19


� Under the current circumstance of ratification for Ballast Water Convention, it seems the convention will take effect soon. USCG regulation already in motion for vessels trading in the U.S..

� In order to prepare PSC inspection in near future, information to be gathered as much as possible.

� ClassNK will continue to provide useful and helpful information to our customers.
