INTERTANKO 国际油轮船东协会

Asian Panel Meeting

Shanghai27th April 2009

Anti-Trust/Competition Law Compliance Statement

INTERTANKO’s policy is to be firmly committed to maintaining a fair and competitive environment in the world tanker trade, and to adhering to all

applicable laws which regulate INTERTANKO’s and its members’ activities in these markets. These laws include the anti-trust/competition laws which the

United States, the European Union and many nations of the world have adopted to preserve the free enterprise system, promote competition and protect the public from monopolistic and other restrictive trade practices.

INTERTANKO’s activities will be conducted in compliance with its Anti-trust/Competition Law Guidelines.

1. Welcome and Introduction

3. Cooperative MechanismCo-operative Mechanism for the Straits of Malacca and Singapore

• Littoral state – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore

• Safety of Navigation and Environmental protection

• 5 projects identified– Aids to Navigation Fund a separate initiative

• Buy-in from Industry at the end of State agreement on projects

• INTERTANKO requested greater industry involvement and proposed establishment of Technical Panels

1. Navigational Panel

2. Environmental Panel– Lead by industry– Industry to bring project ideas– Industry to contribute resources in the projects

• INTERTANKO informal dialogue with Singapore MPA to develop the Panels

1. Welcome and Introduction

3. Cooperative Mechanism4. Navigational Panel

INTETANKO handed opportunity to steer this work, but...

Requires significantly more issues – Straits focused not just Singapore!

Agenda Item Issue Summary

Small Vessel Traffic

It is recognized that industries other than the international shipping use the waters, from smaller coastal trading vessels to fishing vessels, barges and tugs.

Traffic Separation Schemes

The Straits are a prime example of the successful implementation of a TSS in a busy, international waterway. However, comments have been received relating to the possibility of further improving the TSS taking into account small vessel traffic, crossing traffic, entry and exit points for example.

1. Welcome and Introduction

3. Cooperative Mechanism2. Environmental Panel

Agenda Item Issue Summary

Port Reception FacilitiesMarine pollution in the form of oily waste and garbage remains a persistent problem in the region. International shipping is frequently mentioned as a key source of marine pollution in the region.

Oil and Chemical Spill Response

Environmental Awareness

The international shipping industry ha taken steps to improve awareness of environmental issues aboard and ashore. This improves understanding of the significance of environmental issues and improves the development of an environmentally aware culture. This in turn improves awareness of environmental legislation and motivation to implement voluntary measures to improve environmental protection.

Ballast Water ManagementInvasive species through ships’ ballast water is a global problem with regional and national consequences. The current global problem surrounds the shipping industry’s ability to find equipment to meet the standards prescribed in the IMO’s Convention.

Biofouling Management

Invasive specie carried on the hull’s of ships can contribute as much of a risk as those species carried in ballast water tanks. The industry has been increasing its management practices to reduce invasive species transfer and improve emissions from shipping. Problems arise in finding suitable locations to undertake such management options. Note the IMO is currently developing guidelines on biofouling management.

Information SharingThis would be a stand-alone item on the agenda of both Panels and would allow sufficient time for both users and littoral states to share information on developments of importance.

3. Piracy

1. Regional UpdateRECAAP Statistics

• Increase in successful incidents between 2007 and 2008 (77 to 83)

• Increase generally around Straits of Malacca and Singapore, South China Sea and off Malaysia

• Reductions seen at the anchorages of Indonesia and around the port of Chittagong, Bangladesh

• Tankers appeared to have been targeted on more occasions than other ship types

• Significant proportion of attacks continues to take place at anchor and in hours of darkness

• Use of guns reducing

• Possible escalations? – Market downturn– International coverage – new models developing

4. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

• Driven hardest by a limited number of governments– Supported mostly by EU governments, plus Japan,

Australia, Canada and a few others– Until recently only limited support in US (mostly

environmental interests)– Relatively little enthusiasm in much of the developing

world, but now changing ?• Environmental Lobby growing

– And becoming more coordinated• Maritime industries showing considerable support

– Proactive involvement – Although “hesitant” on market based instruments

• Economic incentives strong– Fuel savings translate into potentially significant cost

savings; plus incentives for innovation & new technologies

4. Greenhouse Gas EmissionsDrivers for Change

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Kyoto Protocol• Established under UN Framework Convention on Climate

Change (UNFCCC) and adopted in 1997• Ratified by 181 countries – not the USA• Categorises Annex 1 (Developed) Countries and Non-

Annex 1 (Developing) Countries • Annex 1 are committed to make GHG reductions with set

targets, but also flexible mechanisms • Runs through to 2012, with Conference of Parties

(COP15) to meet in Copenhagen in Dec 2009 to develop successor

• Kyoto recognises “common but differentiated responsibilities”, i.e. developed countries produce more GHGs and should be “responsible” for reductions

• Kyoto looks to IMO to address Shipping and ICAO to address Aviation, and as such these emissions are currently excluded from Kyoto targets

4. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Initiatives underway at the IMO

1998: IMO initiated work on Green House Gas emissions 2003: IMO Assembly adopted Resolution A.963(23): Policies and Practices Related to the Reduction of GHG from Ships Today: Work continues through the MEPC

This year: we can expect MEPC 59 to adopt - Mandatory Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships Ship Energy Management Plan – existing ships: - Best practices to save energy used by the ship - Use of voluntary Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator

In December: the outcome(s) of MEPC 59 will be presented to UNFCCC COP15 meeting in Copenhagen

4. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Initiatives underway at the IMO

Ship Performance Index: CO2 / work done

e.g. tonnes of CO2 produced per tonne mile of cargo

• Energy efficiency design index mandatory for new -ships incentivises designers and builders. At the next stage: The ship’s design index should be less than a maximum limit to be set by regulations.The maximum value will then be lowered over time.

• Voluntary energy efficiency operational indicator - measures efficiency of ship in service.A management tool for owners and charterers to measure energy efficiency on a voyage. Incentivises the owner to keep hull and machinery “clean” and charterer to use the ship efficiently – capacity, routing and speed.

1. Speed selection optimization2. Optimised route planning3. Trim Optimization

3. Propulsion Resistance Management Programme1. Hull Resistance2. Propeller Resistance

4. Machinery Optimisation Programme1. Main Engine monitoring and optimisation2. Optimisation of lubrication as well as other machinery and equipment

5. Cargo Handling Optimization1. Cargo vapours control procedure on all crude tankers (80-90% reduction of

cargo vapours)2. Cargo temperature control optimization

6. Energy Conservation Awareness Plan1. On board and on shore training and familiarisation of company’s efficiency

programme2. Accommodation-specific energy conservation programme

IMO is also reviewing possible economic measures (instruments) to reduce CO2 emissions

• Emissions Trading Scheme • Bunker Levy• GHG Compensation Scheme• Hybrids of above• Other, e.g. differentiated charges

Industry has established Guiding principles and believe any measure should:

• Be effective in reducing global GHG emissions• Be binding on and applicable to all ships• Be cost effective• Not distort competition• Support sustainable environmental development without penalising

trade growth• Promote technical innovation and leading technologies• Be practical, transparent, fraud-free, easy to administer

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Key issues:

• Global versus regional ?• Who administers ?• Still needed – if other industry initiatives in place ?

ETS• Sets Cap – reduces over time• Open versus Closed system ?• Value of carbon – different schemes

Levy• Does not set cap• A tax on fuel (used)

GHG Compensation scheme• Does not set cap• A tax for a good cause – i.e. a charity !

4. Greenhouse Gas EmissionsMarket Based Instruments

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Initiatives already under way- parallel voluntary measures

For most ship types, some form of :• Speed optimisation• Voyage optimisation• Capacity optimisation

is already in hand.

For Tankers:• Liaison is encouraged between owners and charterers to optimise vessel speed and voyage schedules

http://www.ocimf.com/view_document.cfm?id=1147

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Other initiatives under discussion

Pending the setting of mandatory upper limits for the Energy Efficiency Design Index of new ships, there exists the potential for:

• The Establishment of a Reference Value for a New Ship (i.e. a Target)

• Development of a Rating System relative to the Reference Value

Similar to the performance rating of white goods

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Other initiatives already under way- parallel voluntary measures

Ports / terminals• Ports developing Environmental Ship Index (for pollutants and GHGs)

• Incentives to improve port efficiency• Reward environmentally friendly ships with lower port dues

Criminalisation of the Seafarer- and unfair treatment

• Criminalisation legislation

- “Find the guilty” culture rather than a thorough investigation of the cause

• Failure to adhere to “IMO/ILO Guidelines on the Fair Treatment of Seafarers in the Event of a Maritime Accident”

2. Council Agenda Overview

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

Criminalisation of Seafarers - Update

• EU Ship Source Pollution Directive

• “Hebei Spirit” officers

2. Council Agenda Overview

国际油轮船东协会Shanghai, 27th April 2009

EU Ship Source Pollution Directive “Criminalises accidental pollution”

• Review of the legality of the EU Ship Source Pollution Directive was brought in December 2005 by an industry coalition led by INTERTANKO.

• June 2006, the English High Court remitted the case to Luxembourg. Case heard before the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) September 2007. Opinion of Advocate General Kokott published November 2007.

• ECJ delivered judgment June 2008.• In brief, the ECJ ruled that the Directive: • - cannot be assessed by reference to MARPOL as the Community itself (unlike its

Member States) is not a party to MARPOL.• - cannot be assessed by reference to UNCLOS as, although the Community is a party to

UNCLOS, that Convention does not give individuals rights or freedoms on which they can rely against States.

• The Court has held that the use of the term ‘serious negligence’ does not infringe the requirement of certainty in Community legislation.

• This departs from the opinion of Advocat General Kokott, who concluded that the validity of the Directive should be tested by reference to MARPOL and UNCLOS, and that it exceeds Community powers unless ‘serious negligence’ is construed to have different meanings inside and outside territorial waters. [This leaves the Member State legislators in some difficulty, having to use the same terminology whilst interpreting it differently depending on where the incident takes place.]
