Codes and Guidelines
December 2011
Use of Armed Security Personnel – at MSC 89 (May 2011)
IMO does not endorse the use of privately contracted armed security personnel – No regulation
exist
MSC 89 recognized the continued and increased threat to commercial shipping by Somalia-
based pirates and that this has led to the use of armed guards offering maritime security services
for vessels transiting the high risk areas
Considering the difficulties to identify reliable and professional services, the complex legal
requirements governing the legitimate transport, carriage and use of firearms etc. MSC adopted:
 Resolution MSC.324(89) Implementation of Best Management Practice Guidance1
 Guidelines for shipowners on the use of armed security personnel (PCASP)2
 Recommendations for flag States on the use of PCASP3
In addition to considering if the flag State has imposed any laws and regulations on the use of
private security companies, the Guidelines recommend that the shipowner carry out a risk
assessment
Guidelines on port State and coastal State issues concerning embarkation and disembarkation
of armed security personnel will be dealt with by MSC 90 (May 2012)
1 MSC.1/Circ.1337 Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy off the Coast of Somalia and in the Arabian Sea Area (BMP3) developed by the industry
2 MSC.1/Circ.1405 Interim Guidance to shipowners, ship operators and shipmasters on the use of privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP) on board ships in
the High Risk Area

December 2011

Stowage of marine evacuation systems
 MSC 89 approved MSC.1/Circ.1397 on SOLAS regulation III/15.1
concerning the stowage of marine evacuation systems
 This regulation requires that the ship's side shall not have any
openings between the embarkation station of the marine
evacuation station and the sea level in the lightest seagoing
condition
 This means no openings, be they permanent openings, recessed
promenades or temporary openings such as shell doors, windows
or ports, should be allowed in this particular area
 On passenger ships, windows and side scuttles of the non-opening
type should be allowed in this area if complying with SOLAS
regulation II-2/9.4.1.3.3
 On cargo ships, the windows and side scuttles in the area in way
of a marine evacuation system, if installed, should only be of the
non-opening type

December 2011

Guidelines for ships operating in polar waters
 The Guidelines address additional
provisions beyond existing
requirements of the SOLAS and
MARPOL Conventions, to take into
account the climatic conditions of
Arctic and Antarctic
 The Guidelines are recommendatory,
however work has started in IMO -
intended to work on a mandatory
Code – with a target date of 2012,
likely to come into force around 2014-
2015
 The Guidelines was adopted by res.
A.1024(26)

December 2011

Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked
to the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change
The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets
binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the
European community for reducing greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions
These amount to an average of five per cent against
1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012
Note:
The major distinction between the Protocol and the
Convention is that while the Convention encouraged Airlines and
industrialized countries to stabilize GHG emissions, the Shipping not
Protocol commits them to do so covered

December 2011

Kyoto Protocol - Annex I - States
Note:
China and India
have never been
Annex I states.
At COP 17 in
Durban in
December 2011,
Canada said they
would not be
parties to a new
agreement
intended to be
agreed by 2015
and in force from
2020.
Perhaps Australia
and New Zealand
also leave…

December 2011

Shipping CO2 emissions – why the world cares
 Shipping burns approximately 335 million tons
of fuel per year… while transporting 85% of
the worlds goods
 The associated emission of CO2 is around
1 billion tonnes of CO2 per year

December 2011

Political bodies shape global efforts to reduce shipping GHG
 UNFCCC. Arena for international climate
negotiations. Considers shipping key
source of climate change mitigation and
adaptation funding
 IMO. Working to reach industry wide,

global agreements reducing the
amount of CO2 emissions from
international shipping.
 EU. Proposes to cut shipping CO2 by 40%

by 2050 when compared with 2005 levels.
Working on regional regulations.

December 2011

Regulatory options for shipping
Technical / operational measures
 EEDI
 SEEMP
 EEOI
Market Based Measures (MBM)

 cap and trade system
 levy system
 other approaches (several on the table)
Speed limits seeing renewed interest

December 2011

Regulations aside, what can shipping actually do?
 More efficient operations, e.g. weather routing,
control of energy consumers onboard, speed optimising
and trim
 The introduction of more efficient technology – both
for ships in operation and for newbuildings
 Fuel shift from residual fuel oils, marine gasoil and
diesel oil to use of natural gas; possibly other green
fuels
 Improved infrastructure, including port turn-around
times, port capacity / -logistics and size of ships
 Improved cooperation between players including
owners/charterers, contractual issues, port integration
It’s not just technology, it’s also about people
and their organisations
December 2011

EU state of play
 The EC has indicated that it is receptive to policy options being proposed by
the maritime industry itself, however, the window of opportunity is closing.
 Technical measure alone will not be satisfactory, some form of MBM must
be included in any IMO policy
Timeline
 2011: Commission preparations
- Roadmap for possible proposal in Commission work programme
- Stakeholder consultations
- Impact Assessment (tender issued)
- Policy selection
- Participation in IMO processes
 2012: Possible Commission proposal
 2013/2014: Co-decision – European Parliament and Council
 2015/2016: Early implementation / preparation
 2017: Earliest feasible date for full application
December 2011

EEDI / SEEMP–
The details

December 2011

New requirements to energy efficiency from 2013
 The EEDI requirements will apply to new ships above 400 GT:
- for which the building contract is placed on or after 1 January 2013; or
- in the absence of a building contract, the keel of which is laid or which
is at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 July 2013; or
- the delivery of which is on or after 1 July 2015
 Attained EEDI to be calculated for all ship types defined in regulation,
compliance with required EEDI mandatory for a subset
 A SEEMP will have to be present onboard all vessels at the first IAPP
certificate renewal or intermediate survey after 1 January 2013, when an
International Energy Efficiency Certificate will be issued.

December 2011

Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan – SEEMP
MEPC.1/Circ.683
“Guidance for the Development

of a Ship Energy Efficiency
Management Plan”
 Applies to all ships over 400 GT covered by MARPOL Annex VI

 Management Plan targeted at Ship Owners
 Contains a list of measures to make the ship in question more energy
efficient
 Basic compliance is uncomplicated, opens up for further advisory services

December 2011

The EEDI - what is it?
 Clear parallel to the mileage standard in the automotive industry, but
taking the “benefit to society” (i.e. transport capacity) into account;
Environmen tal cost
Attained design CO2 index 
Benefit for society
 In more specific terms….
C F SFC P
Attained design CO2 index 
Capacity Vref
 The index is defined as:

grams CO2 / capacity * nautical mile

EMSA's current tasks
• assist the Commission on inspections and technical aspects
• be a service provider for Member States (CleanSeaNet, SafeSeaNet)
• maritime surveillance
• work on oil pollution response (16 stand-by oil spill response vessels)
• maintain and operate the International LRIT Data Exchange
New and possible new tasks under consideration

• tasks in the scope of Member (Flag) State audits for ROs
• advising Member States on the training and certification of seafarers
• cooperation in PSC with Paris MoU
• coordination of Coastguards - Maritime Safety Consultation Body
• pollution caused by offshore installations (response, investigation)
• prevention of pollution from offshore accidents (3rd party auditing, EIA)
