1 MARPOL ANNEX IV (SEWAGE) SURVEYS CHAPTER 15

1.1 Marpol 73/78 Annex IV contains the regulations for the prevention of pollution by sewage from ships. The Annex has not yet been adopted by sufficient number of countries with the required combined tonnage and is therefore not internationally mandatory. However some countries have adopted the Annex and apply it unilaterally.

1.2 Marpol 73/78 Annex IV is applicable to all ships of 200 gross tonnage and above with respect to the disposal of:

• Drainage and other wastes from any form of toilets, urinals and WC scuppers,

• Drainage from medical premises (dispensary, sick bay, etc.) via wash basins, wash tubs and scuppers located in such premises;

• Drainage from spaces containing living animals and

• Other waste-waters when mixed with the drainages defined above.

1.3 The regulatory means of sewage discharge is dependant on whether or not a treatment plant is provided and is an operational procedure. The survey and certification Regulations are in respect of the arrangements and equipment provided only.

1.4 Where equipment is being installed for the first time or where equipment is already installed but not surveyed till date, plans should be submitted to Head Office for approval. The sewage treatment plant should be approved in accordance with IMO resolution MEPC 2(VI) or alternately, the sewage comminuters should be type approved by a competent administration.

1.5 When survey is carried out by International Register of Shipping for the first time, the previous certificate (or statement of compliance) onboard should be sighted to establish the survey due. Any due or overdue survey should be carried out and if no survey is due, a general examination should be carried out. A copy of the existing certificate should be submitted to Head Office along with survey reports.

1.6 A renewal survey is due every five years and annual surveys are due every year. On completion of the initial/renewal survey, an interim Certificate/STATEMENT of COMPLIANCE should be issued valid for five months. Head Office will issue the full term Certificate/Statement of Compliance after review of the survey reports.

1.7 The survey should be such as to ensure that the equipment provided, fittings and arrangements are in good condition and given adequate routine maintenance be expected to remain in good working order until the next survey. The owner’s representative should confirm that no unapproved modifications have been carried out since the last survey.

1.8 Surveyors should on no account carry out inspection of holding tanks or equipment that has been opened up unless it has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Both methane and hydrogen sulphide gas can be generated from raw sewage. Operating instructions and chemicals such as disinfectant necessary for operation of the plant should be available on board.

1.9 Sewage treatment plant should be examined for leakage of liquids and gases such as hydrogen sulphide. A bad smell is an indication that the plant is not working properly. Disinfectant dosing points should be accessible and access for the taking of samples should be adequate. The type, model and name of the manufacturer should be clearly shown on the sewage treatment plant by means of a durable label or nameplate.

1.10 Black water piping feeding to sewage treatment plant or holding tank and shore connections should be examined to verify their continued satisfactory condition. The arrangements should include a pipeline terminating on the open deck and fitted with a shore connection for the purpose of discharging the sewage to an external reception facility.

2

1.11 Ventilation pipes should be independent of other vent systems.

SECTION 2 Reporting

2.1 The relevant survey checklist SEW-1 should be used when carrying out surveys and a copy submitted to Head Office along with survey reports.

2.2 At first surveys by IS, copies of the previous society’s certificates and list of any outstanding deficiencies, recommendations etc should also be forwarded. Copies of type approval certificates for the sewage treatment plant should also be submitted, if available.

2.3 On completion of renewal surveys or First Survey by International Register of Shipping, an INTERIM certificate SEW-I-IS (SEW-I-PMS for PANAMA vessels) should be issued, valid for 5 months. When survey is incomplete or deficiencies are noted, the Interim Certificate should be marked CONDITIONAL and the outstanding survey items/deficiencies must be noted on the reverse of the Interim Certificate. The certificate is to be issued for such validity as will permit the vessel to reach the next suitable port and in no case should exceed two months (except where only approval of manuals remain outstanding, in which case the validity should be restricted to three months).

A copy of the CONDITIONAL certificate is to be faxed to Head Office.

2.4 On completion of other surveys (annual and intermediate), the existing full term certificate on board is to be endorsed in the relevant column indicating the date, place and surveyors name and endorsed using the IS/PMSB seal. A copy of the endorsed certificate must be submitted to Head Office. At annual/intermediate surveys, if surveys cannot be completed or deficiencies are noted, the outstanding items/deficiencies must be entered on the outstanding recommendations form (OSR-FRM). The Full Term IOPP certificate should not be endorsed in such cases.

2.5 When previous recommendations are examined and completed satisfactorily, the items must be deleted on the forms OSR-FRM.

2.6 A narrative survey report should be submitted whenever a survey is incomplete (indicating the reason why the survey could not be completed), deficiencies are noted (details of deficiency noted and the owners proposal to deal with the deficiency), repairs are carried out (details of the temporary/permanent repairs carried out) and when existing outstanding recommendations are deleted or postponed.

1 MARPOL ANNEX V (GARBAGE)SURVEYS CHAPTER 16

1.1 Marpol 73/78 Annex V contains the regulations for the prevention of pollution by garbage.

The Regulations apply to all ships and addresses the disposal of all kinds of victual, domestic and operational waste (excluding fresh fish) generated during the normal operation of the ship and not subject to other parts of the convention.

1.2 There is no certification required for compliance with Annex V and the disposal of garbage according to the limits set by the Annex is entirely the responsibility of the Owner.

1.3 The storage of garbage on board may cause stowage space problems, which may be alleviated by the use of incinerators, compactors, comminuters and other devices, which may also make it possible to discharge certain garbage at sea.

1.4 When requested by owners, Surveyors may issue a factual “STATEMENT OF

COMPLIANCE” describing any equipment installed to facilitate judicious compliance with the Annex. There should be a garbage management plan onboard the ship and a copy must be submitted along with survey reports. A garbage log must be maintained and the surveyor, at all surveys, should examine this.

SECTION 2 Reporting

2.1 At first surveys by IS, copies of the previous society’s certificates and copy of approval for garbage management plan and list of any outstanding deficiencies, recommendations etc should also be forwarded.

2.2 On completion of renewal surveys or First Survey by International Register of Shipping, an INTERIM certificate GAR-I-IS (GAR-I-PMS for PANAMA vessels) should be issued, valid for 5 months.

2.3 On completion of other surveys (annual and intermediate), the existing full term certificate on board is to be endorsed in the relevant column indicating the date, place and surveyors name and endorsed using the IS/PMSB seal. A copy of the endorsed certificate must be submitted to Head Office.

BULK CHEMICAL CODE SURVEYS CHAPTER 17

SECTION I General

1.1 Surveyors conducting Chemical Code surveys are to be familiar with the applicable provisions of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code), the Code for the Construction and Equipment for Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (BCH Code) and Annex II of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships 1973 and the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto.

1.2 Ships for which keel was laid before 1^st July 1986 are subject to provisions of BCH code while ships constructed on or after 1^st July 1986 are subject to the provisions of the IBC code. All chemical tankers carrying products of pollution category A, B, C or D must comply with the provisions of Marpol 73/78 Annex II. Chemical Code and Annex II surveys are integral and the Certificate of Fitness covers both aspects.

1.3 Renewal surveys are required every five years before the certificate in force has expired. Four annual surveys and one intermediate survey are required during the duration of the certificate. Annual surveys are to be held within three months before and three months after the due date. Intermediate surveys are to be held within six months before and six months after the half way date (2 ½ years) of the certificate’s period of validity. If the intermediate survey is held within the three months after the due date of the second annual survey or within the three months before the due date of the third annual survey, then this survey can be credited towards both the intermediate and that particular annual survey.

1.4 The surveys should be held within the permitted range dates only.

1.5 The existing certificate onboard should be sighted to establish the category of survey due.

1.6 The various arrangements of Chemical Code equipment to be surveyed will be identified in the Chemical Code Record of Construction (IBC/BCH Code) onboard and various items of Marpol 73/78 Annex II equipment to be surveyed will be identified in the “Procedures and Arrangements” (P&A) manual on board. At each survey, the survey checklist should be completed in conjunction with the Record of Construction and P&A manual and a copy submitted to Head Office along with survey reports.

1.7 Where new installations or major modifications are proposed, plans and P&A manuals should be submitted to Head Office for approval before the work is commenced.

1.8 During the first survey by International Register of Shipping onboard, it should be verified whether the ship already has an existing certificate. If the vessel is already in possession of a certificate issued by a major society or the national administration, the certificate should be sighted to establish whether any survey is due or overdue. The relevant due/overdue survey is to be carried out. If no survey is due, a general examination, equivalent, to an annual survey is to be carried out. The P&A manual may be accepted if it is approved by a major society or the flag administration. In such cases, the manual must be endorsed “This manual been accepted by International Register of Shipping on behalf of “flag state” on the basis of previous approval by “name of society”. A copy of the endorsed page, copy of any approval letter by the previous society and a copy of the full term certificate along with record of equipment should be forwarded to Head Office along with survey reports. If a previous certificate is not available or not issued by a major society, then a complete renewal survey should be carried out. The owner should be advised to submit the P&A manual for approval and place a copy on board. The copy on board is to be endorsed “provisionally accepted pending approval by International Register of Shipping Head Office”. The validity of the interim certificate issued is to be for three months and the certificate should be marked CONDITIONAL” with the approval of the P&A manual endorsed as an outstanding item.

2 1.9 On completion of the renewal surveys or the first survey by International Register of Shipping, INTERIM certificate (BC-I-IS or BC-I-PMS for PANAMA vessels) is to be issued with validity of five months. Head Office will issue the full term certificate after review of the survey report. On completion of annual or intermediate surveys, the certificate on board should be endorsed.

SECTION 2 Annual Surveys

2.1 The purpose of the annual survey is to carry out an examination of the various items of equipment together with tests as considered necessary, all to an extent which, in the Surveyor’s judgment, indicates adequate condition and standard of maintenance until the next due survey.

2.2 The Surveyors should verify that the certificate and P&A manual on board are in order. The P&A manual should be written in a language understood by the ship’ personnel engaged in the operations described therein, and it is the Owner’s responsibility to provide a copy written in an appropriate language. Similarly system operating instructions and on board maintenance manuals etc., should also be in a language understood by the crew.

2.3 The owner’s representative must confirm that no unapproved modifications have been carried out to the pollution prevention arrangements and equipment since the last survey.

2.4 The stringency of the survey should be to the Surveyor’s satisfaction and in general will depend upon the condition of the equipment and the level of maintenance.

2.5 Surveys in respect of the safety considerations of the chemical codes are to be carried out in conjunction with and in accordance with such procedures and instructions as laid down for the classification surveys of chemical tankers.

2.6 For fire extinguishing arrangements, the relevant section under safety equipment surveys should be referred to.

Care should be taken to ensure that when foam concentrate for fixed foam fire extinguishing systems is being renewed, the correct type of foam concentrate suitable for the cargoes on the approved cargo lists should be used. Filter type respiratory protection is not acceptable and where required, the emergency escape breathing apparatus must be of the self-contained type.

SECTION 3

Intermediate Surveys

3.1 An intermediate survey should, in addition to the requirements of an annual survey, be a thorough examination and be sufficiently extensive to ensure that the equipment and the associated piping and pumping systems, including any efficient stripping and line blowing arrangements, and tank washing systems as applicable, comply with the requirements of the Regulations of Chemical Code and Marpol 73/78 Annex II, are in accordance with the P&A manual and are in good working order sufficient until the next renewal survey.

3 SECTION 4

Renewal Surveys

4.1 The renewal survey should be a thorough and complete examination with efficient stripping tests and other tests where appropriate. On completion the equipment, systems, fittings and arrangements should, given adequate routine maintenance, be expected to remain in good condition and working order until the next renewal survey. At renewal surveys of chemical tankers having products of pollution category B or C in the list of approved cargoes should carry out practical efficient stripping tests using water to verify the continued efficiency of the stripping arrangements in at least two cargo tanks. The tanks should be selected at random and the Surveyor may require systems in other tanks to be tested. The tests are to be carried out in accordance with the procedures described in the P&A manual and should also include any cargo pipeline purging arrangements and the measurement of residues remaining in the lines.

SECTION 5 Reporting

5.1 The relevant survey checklist BC-1 should be used when carrying out surveys and a copy submitted to Head Office along with survey reports.

5.2 At first surveys by IS, copies of the previous society’s certificates, record of equipment, if any, and copy of approval for P&A manual and list of any outstanding deficiencies, recommendations etc should also be forwarded.

5.3 On completion of ren ewal surveys or First Survey by International Register of Shipping, an INTERIM certificate BC-I-IS (BC-I-PMS for PANAMA vessels) should be issued, valid for 5 months.

5.4 On completion of other surveys (annual and intermediate), the existing full term certificate on board is to be endorsed in the relevant column indicating the date, place and surveyors name and endorsed using the IS/PMSB seal.

A copy of the endorsed certificate must be submitted to Head Office. If during surveys, it is observed that items required for a specific group of products are defective in some tanks, it may be possible, with the agreement of the Owners, to issue or endorse a Certificate of Fitness, but to prohibit the carriage of these products from the tanks in question, until repairs are effected (for example products requiring overflow control could be excluded from tanks with defective high level alarms). Head Office should be contacted for advice in all such instances.

GAS CODE SURVEYS CHAPTER 18

SECTION I General

1.1 Surveyors conducting Gas Code surveys are to be familiar with the applicable provisions of the International Code for the Construction of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code), the Code for the Construction of Ships Carrying Liquefied gases in Bulk (Gas Carrier Code) and the Code for Existing Ships carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (existing Gas Code) as applicable.

1.2 Ships for which keel was laid before 1^st July 1986 are subject to provisions of Gas Carrier Code or Existing Gas Code as applicable, while ships constructed on or after 1^st July 21986 are subject to the provisions of the IGC code. Gas ships carrying products subject to the provisions of Marpol 73/78 Annex II are to be provided with an NLS certificate.

The pollution survey is not an integral part of the gas code survey.

1.4 The surveys should be held within the permitted range dates only.

1.5 The existing certificate onboard should be sighted to establish the category of survey due.

1.6 At each survey, the survey checklist should be completed and a copy submitted to Head Office along with survey reports.

1.7 Where new installations or major modifications are proposed, plans should be submitted to Head Office for approval before the work is commenced.
