2.2.1 The PSCO should verify
that:
.1 there are effectively implemented maintenance
procedures for the equipment containing ozone-depleting
substances; and
.2 there
are no deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting
substances.
2.2.2 In order to verify that each
installed marine diesel engine with a power output of more than
130 kW is approved by the Administration in accordance with the
NOx Technical Code and maintained appropriately,
the PSCO should pay particular attention to the following:
.1 examine such marine diesel engines to be
consistent with the EIAPP Certificate and its Supplement,
Technical File and, if applicable, Record Book of Engine
Parameters or Onboard Monitoring Manual and related data;
.2 examine marine diesel
engines specified in the Technical Files to verify that no
unapproved modifications, which may affect on NOx emission,
have been made to the marine diesel engines;
.3 examine marine diesel engines
with a power output of more than 5,000 kW and a per cylinder
displacement at or above 90 litres installed on a ship
constructed on or after 1 January 1990 but prior to 1
January 2000 to verify that they are certified, if so
required, in accordance with regulation VI/13.7;
.4 in the case of ships constructed before
1 January 2000, verify that any marine diesel engine which
has been subject to a major conversion, as defined in
regulation VI/13, has been approved by the Administration;
and
.5 emergency
marine diesel engines intended to be used solely in case of
emergency are still in use for this purpose.
2.2.3 The PSCO should check whether
the quality of fuel oil used on board the ship conforms to the
provisions of regulations VI/14 and VI/18*,taking into account appendix IV to the Annex.
Furthermore, the PSCO should pay attention to the record
required in regulation VI/14.6 in order to identify the sulphur content of
fuel oil used while the ship is within an Emission Control Area
under regulation VI/14.3,
or that other equivalent approved means have been applied as
required.
2.2.4 If the ship is a tanker, as
defined in regulation VI/2.21, the PSCO should verify that the vapour
collection system approved by the Administration, taking into
account MSC/Circ.585, is
installed, if required under regulation VI/15.
2.2.5 If the ship is a tanker
carrying crude oil, the PSCO should verify that there is on
board an approved VOC Management Plan.
2.2.6 The PSCO should verify that
prohibited materials are not incinerated.
2.2.7 The PSCO should verify that
shipboard incineration of sewage sludge or sludge oil in boilers
or marine power plants is not undertaken while the ship is
inside ports, harbours or estuaries (regulation VI/16.4).
2.2.8 The PSCO should verify that
the shipboard incinerator, if required by regulation VI/16.6.1, is approved
by the Administration. For these units, it should be verified
that the incinerator is properly maintained, therefore the PSCO
should examine whether:
.1 the shipboard incinerator is consistent with
the certificate of shipboard incinerator;
.2 the operational manual, in order
to operate the shipboard incinerator within the limits
provided in appendix IV to the Annex, is provided; and
.3 the combustion
chamber flue gas outlet temperature is monitored as required
(regulation
VI/16.9).
2.2.9 If there are clear grounds as
defined in paragraph 2.1.6, the PSCO may examine operational
procedures by confirming that:
.1 the master or crew are familiar with the
procedures to prevent emissions of ozone-depleting
substances;
.2 the
master or crew are familiar with the proper operation and
maintenance of marine diesel engines, in accordance with
their Technical Files or Approved Method file, as
applicable, and with due regard for Emission Control Areas
for NOx control;
.3 the master or crew have undertaken the
necessary fuel oil changeover procedures, or equivalent,
associated with demonstrating compliance within an Emission
Control Area for SOx and particulate matter
control;
.4 the
master or crew are familiar with the garbage screening
procedure to ensure that prohibited garbage is not
incinerated;
.5 the
master or crew are familiar with the operation of the
shipboard incinerator, as required by regulation VI/16.6, within the
limits provided in appendix IV to the Annex, in accordance
with its operational manual;
.6 the master or crew are familiar with
the regulation of emissions of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), when the ship is in ports or terminals under the
jurisdiction of a Party to the 1997 Protocol to MARPOL 73/78 in
which VOCs emissions are to be regulated, and are familiar
with the proper operation of a vapour collection system
approved by the Administration (in case the ship is a tanker
as defined in regulation VI/2.21);
.7 the
master or crew are familiar with the application of the VOC
Management Plan, if applicable; and
.8 the master or crew are familiar with
bunker delivery procedures in respect of bunker delivery
notes and retained samples as required by regulation VI/18.
* It should be noted that in the case where bunker
delivery note or representative sample as required by regulation
VI/18 are not in compliance with the relevant requirements, the
master or crew should have documented that fact. Where fuel oil
supply was undertaken in a port under the jurisdiction of a
Party to the 1997 Protocol, the PSCO should report that
non-compliance to the appropriate authority responsible for the
registration of fuel oil suppliers (regulation VI/18.10.1).
