3. Phase out history  In the aftermath of Exxon Valdez, 0n 18 August 1990, the US President signed into law the US Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). This was the first regulation which has mandated double hull design for tankers with a building contract after 30 June 1990 and with a delivery after 31 Dec. 1992  First IMO phase out initiated by the US OPA 90 - ratified by IMO March1992 - enforced as from July 1993  Accelerated IMO phase out initiated by Europe as a result of the ERIKA accident outside France - ratified by IMO April 2000 - enforced as from September 2001  Further acceleration of IMO phase out initiated by Europe as a result of the PRESTIGE accident outside Spain - ratified by IMO December 2003, enforced as from April 2005 - enforced by Europe as from October 2003  The European Union’s Regulation (1726/2003) on single hull tankers took effect on 21st October 2003  Both ERIKA and PRESTIGE carried Heavy Fuel Oils that can pollute up to ten times more than crude oil. IMO therefore adopted a new regulation – Regulation 13H of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 – banning the carriage of heavy grade oil as cargo in single hull oil tankers as from 5 April 2005.

16. Annex II revision

17. MARPOL Annex II Revisions After 1 January 2007 products defined as "floaters" and "persistent floaters", which include the vegetable oils, will be assigned to Category Y. Vegoils will have to be carried in IMO Type 2 or 3 space. Oil-like substances will not exist (xylene will require chemical code certificate). All ships loading IBC Cargoes will need to hold a Certificate of Fitness (CoF) issued under the revised requirements.

18. MARPOL Annex II Revisions The vegetable oils listed in Chapter 17 of the IBC Code will be regulated as Pollution Category Y and ship Type 2, and contain a limit on free fatty acid content. The IMO agreed that the individually identified vegetable oils should in principle be carried in Ship Type 2. However, via regulation 4.1.3 of the revised MARPOL Annex II, an administration might allow the carriage of these substances in a ship Type 3 “ONLY” if the ship complies with all requirements for a ship Type 3, as identified in the IBC Code, except for cargo tank location. The cargo tank location shall be in accordance with regulation 4.1.3.2 of the revised MARPOL Annex II but these ships must be constructed with double sides meeting the requirements for IMO ship Type 2 vessels and double bottom requirements of B/15 or 2 metres (whichever is the lesser) and the CoF shall indicate the exemption granted.
