2.9 (PART 2) SHIPBOARD MARINE POLLUTION EMERGENCY PLAN (SMPEP) a. IMO requires ship >150GT carrying NOx substance to carry SMPEP(NOx substance) b. Such a plan being treated as an owner-to-master info upon reaction/mitigation c. Commencing date of enforcement d. Plan entails various spill scenarios and communications used for such incidents e. Highlights the similarity with SOPEP combination with SMPEP is recommended f. Such a plan fulfils SOPEP and SMPEP(NOx) within IMO guideline g. Contents can be found as per MARPOL 73/78 as amended Annex II Reg. 16 h. Guideline to develop SMPEP (Nox) are available under IMO MEPC.85(44) march 2000 i. Cert. of Chem. fitness for bulk substance can only be issued on the plan is onboard. j. Combination of plan shall be in accordance to MEPC.85(44) & MEPC.54( 32) as amended by MEPC.86(44)

2.9 (PART 2) SHIPBOARD MARINE POLLUTION EMERGENCY PLAN (SMPEP) • IMO requires ship >150GT carrying NOx substance to carry SMPEP(NOx substance) • Every ship of 150 gross tonnage and above certified to carry noxious liquid substances in bulk shall carry on board a shipboard marine pollution emergency plan for noxious liquid substances approved by the Administration.

2.9 (PART 3) VESSEL RESPONSE PLAN (VRP) • Exclusively used for vessels utilising US waters to improve pollution response preparedness, effective 22nd Feb 2011 • Effective 1st Jan 2003, MARPOL 73/38 and OPA-1990 requires owners/operators to prepare VRP, SOPEP and SMPEP ( NOx – laden vessels)

• A vessel response plan (VRP) is a document that outlines what the vessel will do in the case of an offshore spill. VRPs are required by the United States Coast Guard for maritime operators that are carrying certain quantities of chemicals and/or refined petroleum products. • The VRP includes information about the vessel, (such as its name, country of registry, call sign, and more), contact information for the vessel’s owner or operator, a list of zones that the vessel intends to operate in, and the clear identification of the incident management team – the people or group who is to be notified in the event of a spill. • The identification contact will include the identity of who is to be notified, how to most efficiently reach them, and secondary communication effort instructions that should be used if the first contact is unreachable. Additionally, the VRP will contain information about the vessel’s chosen insurance company. • A recent article from The United States Coast Guard also points out that VRPs are not limited to oil spills. “It is important to understand that although hazardous conditions, such as an engine casualty, grounding, fire, or flooding, may not directly result in a discharge, plan activation is still required because, if left unresolved, they could result in a discharge.”

2.10.1a Sewage Plant







2.10.1a Sewage Plant  The sewage generated on the ship cannot be stored on the ship for a very long time and it for this reason it has to be discharged into the sea.  Though sewage can be discharged into the sea, we cannot discharge it directly overboard as there are some regulations regarding discharging of sewage that needs to be followed.  Sewage on sea is generally the waste produced from toilets, urinals and WC scuppers.  The rules say that the sewage can be discharged into the sea water only after it is treated and the distance of the ship is 3 nautical miles from the nearest land.  But if the sewage is not treated this can be discharged 12 nautical miles away from the nearest land.

2.10.1A SEWAGE PLANT (CONT’D) • Also the discharged sewage should not produce any visible floating solids nor should it cause any discoloration of surrounding water. • Generally, ships prefer treating sewage before discharging to save themselves from any type of embarrassment. • There are different methods of treating sewage available in the market, but the most common of them is the biological type for it occupies less space for holding tank, unlike those of the other methods. Moreover, the discharge generated from this plant is eco friendly. • It is to note that each sewage treatment system installed onboard has to be certified by classification society and should perform as per their requirement and regulations.









2.10.1B INCINERATOR Introduction • Incineration is the disposal of waste by controlled burning. • Solid, liquid and gaseous wastes are converted into a small amount of ash and a large volume of exhaust gases. • The gases are cleaned before being released into the atmosphere. • Depending on the waste type, the ash can be used in construction or sent for landfill. • Most incinerators recover and use the heat produced. Incineration is sometimes called thermal treatment. • During incineration it is important to control the exhaust temperature, which should not be very high or very low. https://www.google.com.my/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjhoa6MsOLUAhWJULwKHT_vDTcQFggtMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.socc.ie%2FIncineratio n_1b%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.doc&usg=AFQjCNGnZP8GCKFF9pzKO5wbhuQWqAbbYA
