15 Prevention of Pollution 15.1 Objective The objective of this Chapter is to provide guidance on the considerations and requirements necessary for MASS to meet the provisions of the IMO MARPOL Instrument and Annexes. 15.2 General 15.2.1 A vessel complying with the Code should meet international, national, regional and local requirements for the prevention of marine pollution which are applicable to the area in which the vessel is operating. 15.2.2 Responsibility for the vessel to be properly equipped and maintained to meet the prevailing requirements rests with the owner/managing agent. 15.2.3 It is also the responsibility of the owner/managing agent to ensure that a charterer of a vessel receives up-todate and adequate information on prevention of pollution in the area in which the charterer intends to operate. The information may include the need to seek advice from local or harbour authorities, for which contact details should be given. 15.2.4 The disposal of ship generated waste to port reception facilities is regulated in the UK through the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations 2009 (MASSSI 2009 No.1776), as amended. Further guidance on the applicability of these Regulations can be found in MGN 387 (M+F) - Port Waste Reception Facilities Regulations 2003 and the “Port Waste Management Planning – A Guide to Good Practice” booklet available from Marine Offices. Vessel operators should ensure they manage their waste in a sustainable manner and fulfil the applicable requirements (if any) of these Regulations. 15.2.5 All MASS should comply with the requirements of UK Regulations implementing MARPOL and environmental protection requirements as applicable to the size and operating area of the vessel. 15.3 Oil pollution 15.3.1 MASS should retain on board oil or oily mixtures for discharge to shore facilities. 15.4 Garbage 15.4.1 Being unmanned, operation of the vessel should not generate substantial quantities of garbage or similar. However, any maintenance or cargo handling operations aboard which generate such arisings must comply with the provisions of the MARPOL annex as appropriate to the size of the vessel and material generated. 80 MASS UK Code of Practice Version 2
15.5 Air pollution 15.5.1 All engines with a power output of greater than 130kW, installed on a vessel which is a MASS of any size, or a vessel in commercial use for sport or pleasure over 24 metres length (as measured using EC Directive 2013/53/EU), constructed after 1st January 2000 should be issued with an Engine International Air Pollution Prevention (EIAPP) Certificate and a Technical File, according to schedule 2 of MSN 1819(M+F). 15.5.2 A vessel under 24 metres certified as a vessel in commercial use for sport or pleasure is not required to carry an EIAPP certificate if it is compliant with EC Directive 2013/53/EU. Further guidance on air emissions regulations can be found in MSN 1819 (M+F)85 and the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships). 15.6 Ballast Water 15.6.1 MASS using significant amounts of Ballast water should comply with the MARPOL Ballast Water Treatment annexes as appropriate for their size and use. 15.7 Use of Anti-Fouling Coatings and Paints 15.7.1 On the 5th October 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships. This Convention prohibits the use of environmentally harmful organotins (for example, Tributyl Tin) in antifouling paints applied on vessels and prevents the possible use in the future of other harmful substances in anti-fouling systems. The Merchant Shipping (Anti-fouling Systems) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 2796)83 apply. 15.7.2 As a result of EC Regulation EC 782/2003 on the prohibition of organotin compounds on ships, it became compulsory for all vessels in the EEA not to apply or re-apply organotin compounds which act as biocides in anti-fouling systems from 1st July 2003. For vessels less than 24 metres in length it is not necessary to provide for a specific survey or declaration. L3 ASV C-Worker 5 Autonomous Vessel MASS UK Code of Practice Version 2 81
