EAGLE SHIP MANAGEMENT 8

MARPOL ANNEX I EXPERIENCE TO DATE.... … Signs of tampering with pipelines e.g.

Fresh paint, signs of opening of nut/bolts of flanges.

Inconsistencies in ORB entries and Crew statements.

Suspicious temporary arrangements of transfers.

Signs of oil in OWS Overboard line (internally).

Signs of tampering with OCM including flushing connections ,wires etc.

Bilge condition poor and Oily.Malfunctioning equipment/controls.

EAGLE SHIP MANAGEMENT 9

Common Issues

• OWS – malfunction, full with oil/sludge when opened,

filters torn, no spare filters – very common finding as per USCG inspectors.

• 15 ppm monitor – alarm with automatic stopping/3 way valve inoperative, no calibration record of monitor.

• Standard Discharge connection blind flange bolts frozen

• Bilges filled with oil, Portable pumps, hoses and cleaning products in Engine room - raises suspicion of wrong doing.

• OWS overboard valve not locked in port . • Overboard discharge piping/stub-piece found

internally coated with Oil.

10

COMMON ISSUES

• Changes to sludge/bilge lines/OWS from original approved drawing, presence of magic pipe/illegal pipe

• Evidence of loose bolts, blanked flanges, dead end valves on OWS and its piping OR chipped paint, oily hand prints against hull or piping – raises suspicion of wrong doing.

• Removal of overboard pipe/valve for maintenance purposes OR for inspection by PSC/external authority, --Always record the same in Engine Log book .

Entries in ORB – Falsification, errors are most common violations –invites legal

action/prosecution.

C/V “RENA” Astrolabe Reef Tauranga NZ 05 2011 Officers in Rena grounding face further charges Further charges have been laid by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) against the

Master and Second Officer of the of the Costamare-owned 3,032 TEU containership Rena, following the ship's grounding on Astrolabe Reef off Tauranga on October 5.

Both officers now face one charge under section 338 (1B) and (15B) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) relating to the "discharge of harmful substances from ships or offshore installations."

The RMA charge carries a maximum penalty of a fine of NZ $300,000, or two years' imprisonment, and $10,000 for every day the offending continues.

The Master and Second Officer (Navigation) had earlier been charged by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) under section 65 of the Maritime Transport Act 1994 (MTA), "for operating a vessel in a manner causing unnecessary danger or risk."

They have been remanded on bail without plea to reappear in the Tauranga District Court today (Wednesday, November 2) on that charge and will face the RMA charge at the same appearance. Their names and identities are suppressed.

The MTA charge carries a maximum penalty of  NZ$10,000 or a maximum term of imprisonment of 12 months.

MNZ says it will make no further comment while the matter is before the courts.

CONCLUSIONS

• THE MARITIME INDUSTRY IS GEARING UP FOR THE MANY NEW REGULATIONS THAT WILL COME INTO FORCE SOON

• INDUSTRY HAS GENERALLY BEEN VERY RECEPTIVE TO THESE REGULATIONS

• CONCERNS REMAIN REGARDING COSTS, PRACTICALITY OF APPLICATION, TRAINING OF SEAFARERS, ETC

• BIGGEST CONCERN IS IN EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND THE NEED FOR A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

• ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THESE NEW MEASURES WILL PROBABLY NOT BE SEEN IMMEDIATELY BUT IF PROPERLY IMPLEMENTD, THE BENEFITS WILL BE THERE!
