Oil and Chemicals 2. Oil Transportation and Pollution Prevention

– Oil into the sea from  fuel oil waste (sludge)  bilge oil (machinery waste oil)  tank washing, cargo residues Fuel Oil Sludge from All Ship Types187,990M/T Bilge Oil from All Ship Types64,400M/T Cargo Discharges from Tankers19,250M/T ( ,600M/T) 2. Oil Transportation and Pollution Prevention

Achieving zero discharge Industry Guidance on Use of Oily Water Separators and Completion of Oil Record Book Guide for treatment of engine room wastes – including means to limit generation of waste, better management of waste, better design and sizing of equipment, (revisions to MARPOL), and additional training 2.

Persistent and Deliberate Discharge of Oil A typical Reception and Treatment facility Courtesy of OSRL/EARL Singapore What to do with the waste oil: Incinerate (air emissions issue) Discharge at sea in legal quantities (15ppm) – not fuel oil sludge...! Discharge ashore 2. Oil Transportation and Pollution Prevention 国际油轮船东协会

Port Reception Facility issue International Law Obligates Availability and Adequacy Problems: ­Responsibility: Port vs Local Agencies ­Profitability ­Contaminated Oils Solutions – enforcement and responsibility: ­MARPOL Annex I ­EU Directive ­Case by case 2. Oil Transportation and Pollution Prevention 国际油轮船东协会

Achieving zero discharge 1.Provision of adequate reception facilities for all waste types 2.Harmonization of fee system and mandatory delivery of waste 3.Effective on-board waste system design – oil water separation management – chemical management 4.Effective waste treatment and monitoring technology – Industry best practice 5.Supported by: 1.Aerial surveillance 2.Oil tracing and fingerprinting technologies 2.

3. Future challenges Reported tanker incidents with human error cases increasing groundings 17% collisions 33% The Human Element 国际油轮船东协会

3. Future challenges Current and future shortages - Shortage now or in the future? Quality gap (training and experience) Attracting new officers – industry image and criminalisation Industry Action Human Element in Shipping Committee Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS) Cadet Berths – Survey & Policy STCW revision / IMO Human Element Committee The Human Element 国际油轮船东协会
