Lesson Objectives
• Examine discharge containment system• Identify improper stowage of fuel/ waste oil• Identify proper documentation of PIC’s• Examine test records for oil transfer equipment• Examine bilge waste storage system• Verify oil pollution prevention (IOPP) certificate• Verify MARPOL compliance• Examine marine sanitation device (MSD)• Examine ballast water management plan• Assess the validity of COFR with the NPFC
Pollution Prevention
UTV’s 26’ or longer must have placard in each machinery space or at the bilge and ballast control station
33 CFR 151.19
Ships 400GT or more that engage in voyage to other terminals under the jurisdiction of MARPOL 73/78…
Issued by COTP, OCMI, or Class…
Valid for 5 years
IOPP CERT
OIL RECORD BOOK
• 400 GRT and above
• In the Form (s) as specified in Appendix III of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
Oil Pollution
• Pumping, piping, and discharge requirements
(Non ocean going > 100GT, Oceangoing 100-399GT)
- Must have at least one pump installed to discharge
- At least one outlet on weather deck to discharge
- Does not apply if OWS installed
33 CFR 155.410 & 420
Oil Pollution Prevention
• Spill containment
- For 300- 1600GT vessels constructed after 30JUN74, fixed containment with a min of 21 gal capacity.
- See 33 CFR 155.320-b. Most other UTV’s will use 5 gal buckets as spill containment
Oil Transfer Procedures
• 33 CFR 155.720 Transfer Procedures
- To or from the vessel, also tank to tank
- Required 250 bbls (10,500 gals) or more capacity
• 33 CFR 155.740 Availability
- for inspection by COTP
- legibly printed in language understood by personnel
- must be posted or available to crew
Oil Transfer Procedures
• Records-
What must be kept on board?
Written record available for inspection by COTP
including:
- Name of PIC
- Date and result of the most recent test inspection
of each item 33 CFR 156.170
- Hose information required by 154.500 (e) (f)
- DOI 156.150 (f)
Internal Transfer Hose
When a internal transfer is conducted without the requirement of a DOI, as per 33 CFR 156.120 and 156.150, then the same hose assembly used is excluded from requirements in 33 CFR 154.500.
Back Pressure Shut Off Nozzle
33 CFR 155.320(b)(3)
33 CFR 154.500(h)
If the ship has a fill fitting for which containment is impractical, use an automatic back pressure shut-off nozzle.
A US non-oceangoing ship may retain all oily mixtures in the ship’s bilges 33 CFR 155.330
An ocean going ship of less than 400 GT may retain all oily mixtures … in the ship’s bilges 33 CFR 155.350
Oily Mixture Stowage
Draining Oil into Bilge
NO person may intentionally drain oil or hazardous material from any sourceinto the bilge of a vessel
33 CFR 155.770
33 CFR 1593 types- MSD’s
• Type I- vessels 65’ or less -must be labeled
• Type II- any size vessel -must be labeled
• Type III- any size vessel - no label- has Y valve
• Be aware of No Discharge Zones when checking systems
No Discharge Zones for Vessel Sewage
• This applies to all MSD systems
• EPA maintains current listing of these zones
http://www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/regulatory/vessel_sewage/vsdnozone.html
• For example- Buzzards Bay MA, 3 mile territorial limit state of Rhode Island
MSD Type I and II
Both use chemicals (Chlorine type tablets)
Chemicals MUST be kept onboard for system to be operational, but, CHEMICALS ARE NOT STORED IN MACHINERY SPACE
AIR POLLUTION
• MARPOL ANNEX VI
• For U.S. vessels of any GT not engaged on International Voyages
• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published regulations in 49 CFR 94 to limit emissions from marine diesel engines manufactured on or after 1/1/2004
AIR POLLUTION
• MARPOL ANNEX VI
• For U.S. vessels of any GT not engaged on International Voyages
• For all 2004 and later model year marine diesel engines, verify that the engine complies with EPA emission regulations as evidenced by the presence of a permanent emission control information label (placard) on the engine
AIR POLLUTION
• MARPOL ANNEX VI
• For U.S. vessels of any GT not engaged on International Voyages
If placard missing then note it in MISLE and inform EPA for any action they desire.
If the engine is older than 2004, do nothing, it's exempt.
Nitrogen Oxides (Nox)- a group of reactive gasses as a result of combustion which result in ground
level ozone and fine particulate pollution
Sulfur Oxides (Sox)- a group of reactive gasses as a result of combustion which lead to the formation of
fine particulate matter in the atmosphere posing significant public health risks
MARPOL VI
What are Nox and Sox?
MARPOL VIRegulation 13
Nitrogen oxides (Nox)
(New) marine diesel 130 kW (171 hp) and greater (or existing) that undergoes a major conversion after 1/1/2000
Major Conversion is considered •replacement •substantial modification (per Nox Tech Code 2008) •max cont output rating is increased to more than 10%
MARPOL VIRegulation 18
Sulfur oxides (Sox)
• Bunker delivery note kept on board the ship for three (3) years
• Fuel sample under the ship’s control for not less than one (1) year
•Fuel oil for combustion purposes shall not exceed the applicable sulfur content (reg 14) or cause an engine to exceed the applicable Nox emission limit (reg 13)

Current NTVRP Guidance for UTV Examiners
For nontank vessels less than 400 GT or 400 ITC do not need to submit a NTVRP.
For vessels between 400 - 1600 GT or ITC, the enforcement policy is one of "education and awareness.“”
