Compliance date – 1 January 2020 Amendments to reg. 14 of MARPOL Annex VI

• Sulphur limits 0.50% & 0.10% only (no Sulphur limit on HSFO!!!)
• prohibit carriage of fuels with Sulphur content > 0.50% on board

ships which do not have a scrubber (1 March 2020) Mandatory designation of sampling points for “In Use Fuel”

• sampling point(s) fitted & designated for taking representative

samples of the fuel oil “being used” on board the ship

• number & location of designated fuel oil sampling points should

be confirmed by the Administration (Guidelines)

2020 Sulphur Cap

NEW! Mandatory designation of sampling points for “On Board Fuel”

• IMO Guidelines for safe and representative sampling yet to be

developed in 2019

Ship Implementation Plan Guidelines for consistent implementation of 0.50% sulphur limit

• FONAR
• Sulphur content verification procedures
• Control on fuel suppliers
• Best Practices for: (a) Ships, (b) Parties/States, (c) Suppliers

Impact of new fuels on machinery systems Revisit of IMO Guidelines for PSC for MARPOL Annex VI which include:

• Use of non-compliant fuel due to unavailability
• Breakdown of scrubbers

How to deal with exceedance cases?

• BDN indicates compliance, ship leaves, ship’s own test result

indicates potential non-compliance

MAPPING INDUSTRY GUIDANCE

Leading the way; making a difference

INTERTANKO 2020 Practical Guide

Provide guidance to INTERTANKO Members on specific regulatory,

• perational, technical and safety elements to be considered in

preparation for compliance with 2020 MARPOL Annex VI regulations. Provides clarifications and guides the reader through a significant number of guidelines issued by IMO and by other stakeholders. Guidance is mainly on compliant fuels but it also addresses the IMO’s contingency measures for scrubber malfunctioning. Q&A sections are included. The guidance is a dynamic document, i.e.

• pen to continuous improvements as new experiences and solutions to

address challenges and unexpected situations are developed. The guidance also provides information on local and regional requirements which may be different from the relevant requirements of MARPOL Annex VI.

JOINT INDUSTRY GUIDANCE

Guidance on fuel characteristics and properties Guidance on the supply of existing and new max. 0.50%-sulphur fuels Guidance on the storage, handling and safe use of existing and new

• max. 0.50%-sulphur fuels

Responsibilities of fuel suppliers

• Quality control during production of bunkers
• Transport, storage and transfer
• Delivery
• Sampling
• Sampling in the supply chain

Responsibilities of fuel users ISO [8217] PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 23623
