Definitions Reg.1.(12) 1.1 Conversion and modification of ships built before 1 July 1986 1.1.1 An oil tanker or a chemical tanker previously not certified to carry safety hazard chemicals but which changes to a service of carrying these cargoes should be considered as having undergone a conversion. Safety hazard cargoes are identified in chapter 6 of the Bulk Chemical Code (BCH Code) or chapter 17 of the International Bulk Chemical Code (IBC Code.) 1.1.2 The last sentence of regulation 1(12) should apply only to modifications made on oil tankers and chemical tankers and the expression "modification" referred thereto should generally be those changes necessary to comply with Annex II and include the fitting of improved stripping systems and underwater discharge arrangements but do not include major structural changes such as those which might be necessary to comply with ship type requirements.

2. Application Reg.2(5) and 2(6) 2.1 Equivalency for gas carriers 2.1.1 With respect to liquefied gas carriers carrying Annex II substances listed in the Gas Carrier Code, equivalency may be permitted under the terms of regulation 2(5) on construction and equipment requirements contained in regulations 5,5A and 13 when a gas carrier meets all the following conditions: .1 hold a Certificate of Fitness in accordance with the appropriate Gas Carrier Code for ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk; .2 hold an International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk (NLS Certificate); .3 be provided with segregated ballast arrangements; .4 be provided with deep well pumps and arrangements which minimize the amount of cargo residue remaining after discharge, to the extent that the Administration is satisfied on the basis of the design that the stripping requirements of regulation 5A (2) (b) or 5A (4) (b), without regard to the limiting date, are met and the cargo residue can be vented to the atmosphere through the approved venting arrangements; .5 be provided with a Procedures and Arrangements Manual approved by the Administration. This manual should ensure that no operational mixing of cargo residues and water will occur and, after venting, no cargo residues will remain and .6 be certified in an NLS Certificate to carry only those Annex II noxious liquid substances listed in the appropriate Gas Carrier Code.

When such equivalency is granted, notification regulated by regulation 2(6) need not be made.

2A. Categorisation of substances Reg.3(4) 2A.1 When a substance which is not included in appendix II or III of MARPOL 73/78 is offered for bulk carriage, the provisional category should be established in accordance with the following procedure: * [* in carrying out the evaluation of substances, it will be necessary to establish minimum carriage requirements not only for Annex II purposes but also for safety purposes. Due regard should, therefore, be given to the "Criteria for Hazard Evaluation of Bulk Chemicals" approved by the MSC at its forty-second session (Annex 3 to the 1985 edition of the BCH Code, also included in the 1986 editions of the BCH and I BC Codes).] .1 The Government of the State Party to MARPOL 73/78 shipping or producing the substance should check MEPC circulars to see whether the substance has been categorized by the Organization, or provisionally assessed by another State Party to MARPOL 73/78; .2 if no information is found in the circulars, the Government of the Party should contact the Organization ** to see if the substance has already been given a provisional assessment by the Organization or by another Government of a Party to MARPOL 73/78. if the latter is the case, the details should be obtained and, if satisfied, the Government of the Party may accept that provisional assessment; [** The enquiry should be addressed to: The Director, MED, IMO, 4 Albert Embankment, London SE1 7SR, United Kingdom; tel.: +44 71 735 7611, telex: 23588 IMOLDNG, telex: +44 71 587 3210; and include enquirer's mailing address, telex and telex numbers. The latter, if available, would facilitate a quick reply.] .3 if there has been no previous provisional assessment, or the Government of the Party is not satisfied with the previous provisional assessment given, the Government of the Party shipping or producing the substance should carry out a provisional assessment in accordance with the attached guidelines; * [* The Guidelines for the provisional assessment of liquid substances offered to be carried in bulk have been superseded by the Guidelines for the provisional assessment of liquids transported in bulk.] .4 the Government of the Party should notify the Government of the State in whose port the cargo will be received and the Government of the flag State of their assessment along with information providing the basis for their pollution and safety hazard assessment, or the provisional assessment registered at the Organization, by the quickest means available; .5 in the event of disagreement, the most severe conditions proposed should prevail; .6 in the absence of an interim or final response to the notification from any of the other Parties involved within 14 days of the despatch, the provisional assessment made by the Government of the Party shipping or producing the substance should be deemed to have been accepted; .7 the Organization should be notified and details provided of the provisional assessment made as required by regulation 3(4) (i.e. with in 90 days, but preferably as soon as possible); .8 the Organization should circulate the information as it is received through an MEPC circular and submit provisional assessments to the BCH Sub-Committee for review. The Organization should also maintain a register of all such substances and their provisional assessments until such time as the substances are formally included in the Annex II lists and the IBC and BCH Codes; and .9 the Organization should forward to GESAMP all such information received, with a view to formal hazard evaluation and subsequent categorization and establishment of minimum carriage requirements by the BCH Sub-Committee, with a view to formal amendment of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 and the IBC and BCH Codes.

2A.2 In the case that such provisionally assessed substances fall into Category A,B,C or D, amendment sheets to the ship's Certificate of Fitness, or to the NLS Certificate only in cases of Category D substances, and to the Ship's Procedures and Arrangements (P and A) Manual should be issued by the Administration before the ship sails, thus permitting their carriage. This authorization for the carriage of the substance may take the form of telex or equivalent means, which should be kept with the ship's Certificate of Fitness and P and A Manual until the substance is accepted as an amendment to the IBC/BCH Codes. Then the certificate and the P and A Manual should formally be amended.

2A.3 In cases where it is necessary to provisionally assess pollutant-only mixtures, which contain substances for which the Organization has assigned a pollution category or a provisional pollution category and for which the Organization has assigned a ship type or provisional ship-type requirement, the following procedure may be applied in lieu of 2A.1, subparagraphs. 4,.5 and. 6: .1 the mixtures need only be categorized by the Government of the Party shipping or producing the mixture, by the use of the calculation procedure described in section 5 of the Guidelines for the Provisional Assessment of Liquids Transported in Bulk; .2 the mixtures may contain up to 1 percent un-assisted components which could be evaluated by the Government of a Party shipping or producing the mixture; .3 the Government of the Party should notify the Government of the State in whose port the cargo will be received and the Government of the flag State of the assessment; and .4 the Government of the Party may authorize the manufacturer to carry out the assignment (n.o.s number, the appropriate shipping name, viscosity and melting point) on its behalf. In this case the obligation to inform flag States and receiving countries of the performed assignment falls on the authorized manufacturer. The manufacturer should also inform the authorizing Government of the assignment performed along with details of the assessment. The manufacturer should inform IMO if so requested by the Government of the shipping or producing country. Upon request, the manufacturer should provide the Government of the flag State or receiving State with full details of the mixture. Notification of the assignment by the manufacturer should be accompanied by the authorization letter indicating that the manufacturer acts under instruction and on behalf of the Government of the Party.

2A.4 Notwithstanding 2A.2, if a ship is certified fit to carry n.o.s. (not otherwise specified) substances of the provisionally assessed category and ship type, no amendment need be made to the ship's Certificate of Fitness or the ship's P and A Manual.

3. Discharge or residue Reg.5 3.1 En route 3.1.1 The term "en route" is taken to mean that the ship is under way at sea on a course, or courses, which so far as practicable for navigational purposes will cause any discharge to be spread over as great an area of the sea as is reasonably practicable.

4. Pumping, piping and unloading arrangements Reg.5A 4.1, (6) (b) (iv), and (7) (e) Appropriate action in case of exemption 4.1.1 With regard to the term "appropriate action, if any", any Party to the Convention that has an objection to the particulars of an exemption submitted by another Party should communicate this objection to the Organization and to the Party which issued the exemption within one year after the Organization circulates the particulars of the exemption to the Parties.

5. Reception facilities Reg.7 (1) (b) 5.1 Reception facilities in repair ports 5.1.1 This regulation is taken to mean that ship repair ports undertaking repairs to chemical tankers should have facilities adequate for the reception of residues and mixtures containing noxious liquid substances as would remain for disposal from ships carrying them as are result of the application of this Annex.

Reg.8 (5) (a) (i), and (7) (a) (i), 5A, Measures of control 5A.1 The wording "substance unloaded is identified in the standards developed by the Organization as resulting in a residue quantity exceeding the maximum quantity which may be discharged into the sea" of subparagraphs 5 (a) (i) and 7 (a) (i) of regulation 8 refers to high-viscosity or solidifying substances as defined in paragraphs 1.3.7 and 1.3.9 of the Standards for Procedures and Arrangements.

6. Survey and certification Reg.10 (1)(c) and (d), 6.1 Intermediate and annual surveys for ships not required to hold NLS Certificate 6.1.1 The applicability of regulation 10 (1) (c) and (d) and/or corresponding requirements of the IBC and BCH Codes under regulation 12A to ships which are not required to hold an International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk by virtue of regulation 11 should be determined by the Administration.

6A.1 Requirements for minimizing accidental pollution Reg.13(4) 6A.1.1 Ships other than chemical tankers For the purpose of regulation 13(4) of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78, the Organization has developed guidelines for offshore support vessels and ships engaged in dumping at sea. For the purpose of that regulation, the BCH and the IBC Codes, as applicable to chemical tankers, represent the appropriate guidelines based on which Administrations should establish measures for ships other than chemical tankers, offshore support vessels and dumping vessels carrying Category A, B or C noxious liquid substances in bulk.

7. Oil-like substances Reg.14 7.1 List of oil-like substances Category C substances Category D substances Aviation alkylates Alkyl (C9-C17) benzenes Cycloheptane Diisopropyl naphthalene Cyclohexane Dodecane (all isomers) Cyclopentane p-Cymene Diethylbenzene Dipentene Ethylbenzene Ethylcyclohexane Heptene (all isomers) Hexane (all isomers) Hexene (all isomers) Isopropyl cyclohexane Methylcyclohexane 2-Methyl-1-pentene Nonane (all isomers) Octane (all isomers) Olefin mixtures (C5-C7) Pentane (all isomers) Pentene (all isomers) 1-Phenyl-1-xylylethane Propylene dimer Tetrahydronaphthalene Toluene Xylenes For each of the above substances, compliance with the oil-like substance criterion 7.2.1.4 given below has to be demonstrated for the particular oil content meter installed.

7.2 Selection criteria 7.2.1 The following criteria define an oil-like Category C or D noxious liquid substance: .1 the substance's mass density (specific gravity) is less than 1.0 at 20 ¡æ; .2 the substance's solubility in seawater at 20 ¡æ is less than 0.1 per cent; .3 the substance is a hydrocarbon; .4 the substance can be monitored by an oil content meter required by regulation 15 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78; * [* In approving an oil discharge monitoring and control system for the purpose of this regulation, the Administration should ensure through tests that the system can monitor concentrations of each oil-like substance in conformity with the Recommendation on International Performance Specifications for Oily-Water Separating Equipment and Oil Content Meters adopted by the Organization by resolution A. 393 (X) or the Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers, resolution A.586 (14). If it is necessary to readjust the monitor when changing from oil products to oil-like noxious substances, information on the readjustment should be provided and special operating procedures ensuring that discharges of oil-like noxious substances are measured accurately should be approved by the Administration. When the oil content meter is readjusted an entry should be made in the Oil Record Book.] .5 in the case of Category C substances, the ship type requirement, as specified by the Bulk Chemical or International Bulk Chemical Codes, is type 3; and .6 the substance is not regulated by the Bulk Chemical or International Bulk Chemical Codes for safety purposes as indicated in chapters VI and 17 of the Codes respectively.

Reg.14 (c) 7.3 Damage stability calculation 7.3.1 A new ship of 150 metres or more in length under Annex 1 should be considered to comply with the requirements of regulation 14(c) if compliance with regulation 25 of Annex 1 has been demonstrated.

Reg.14(d) 7.4 Applicability of the waiver under regulation 15(5) of Annex 1 of MARPOL 74/78 to oil tankers carrying oil-like Annex II substances 7.4.1 Since regulation 14 of Annex II applies to oil tankers, as defined in Annex I, which are allowed to carry oil-like substances and discharge these under the provisions of Annex I, any waiver granted to such oil tankers in respect of the requirement to be fitted with an oil discharge monitoring and control system encompasses the requirements contained in regulation 14(d) of Annex II. It should be noted, however, that in considering the issuance of a waiver under the provisions of Annex I, an Administration should determine that adequate reception facilities are available to receive the residues and mixtures at loading ports or terminals at which the tanker calls and that the facilities are also suitable for the treatment and ultimate disposal of the oil-like substances received.

Annex III of MARPOL 73/78: Regulations for the Prevention of Pol-lution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Forms, or inFreight Containers, Portable Tanks or Road and Rail Tank Wagons

Regulation 2 Packing Packages shall be adequate to minimize the hazard to the marine environment, having regard to their specific contents.

Regulation 3 Marking and labelling 1 Packages containing a harmful substance shall be durably marked with the correct technical name (trade names alone shall not be used) and, further, shall be durably marked or labelled to indicate that the substance is a marine pollutant. Such identification shall be supplemented where possible by any other means, for example, by use of the relevant United Nations number.

2 The method of marking the correct technical name and of affixing labels on packages containing a harmful substance shall be such that this information will still be identifiable on packages surviving at least three months' immersion in the sea. In considering suitable marking and labelling, account shall be taken of the durability of the materials used and of the surface of the package.

3 Packages containing small quantities of harmful substances may be exempted from the marking requirements. * [* Reference is made to the specific exemptions provided for in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).] Regulation 4 Documentation ** [** Reference to "documents" in this regulation does not preclude the use of electronic data processing (EDP) and electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission techniques as an aid to paper documentation.] 1 In all documents relating to the carriage of harmful substances by sea where such substances are named, the correct technical name of each such substance shall be used (trade names alone shall not be used) and the substance further identified by the addition of the words "MARINE POLLUTANT".

2 The shipping documents supplied by the shipper shall include, or be accompanied by, a signed certificate or declaration that the shipment offered for carriage is properly packaged and marked or labelled and in proper condition for carriage to minimize the hazard to the marine environment.

3 Each ship carrying harmful substances shall have a special list or manifest setting forth the harmful substances on board and the location thereof. A detailed stowage plan, which sets out the location of the harmful substances on board, may be used in place of such special list or manifest. Copies of such documents shall also be retained on shore by the owner of the ship or his representative until the harmful substances are unloaded. A copy of one of these documents shall be made available before departure to the person or organization designated by the port State authority.

4 When the ship carries a special list or manifest or a detailed stowage plan, required for the carriage of dangerous goods by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, the documents required by this regulation may be combined with those for dangerous goods. Where documents are combined, a clear distinction shall be made between dangerous goods and harmful substances covered by this Annex.

Regulation 5 Stowage Harmful substances shall be properly stowed and secured so as to minimize the hazards to the marine environment without impairing the safety of the ship and persons on board.

Regulation 6 Quantity limitations Certain harmful substances may, for sound scientific and technical reasons, need to be prohibited for carriage or be limited as to the quantity which may be carried aboard any one ship. In limiting the quantity, due consideration shall be given to size, construction and equipment of the ship, as well as the packaging and the inherent nature of the substances.

Regulation 7 Exceptions 1 Jettisoning of harmful substances carried in packaged form shall be prohibited, except where necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of the ship or saving life at sea.

2 Subject to the provisions of the present Convention, appropriate measures based on the physical, chemical and biological properties of harmful substances shall be taken to regulate the washing of leakages overboard, provided that compliance with such measures would not impair the safety of the ship and persons on board.
