Title: European directives‘ applicable requirements for Ship repair processes
Executive Summary:
Environmental protection is one the priorities of the European Union. Directives are the main policy
instrument for achieving improvement of environmental quality.
HAVING REGARD THAT THE SHIP INDUSTRY HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE
ENVIRONMENT, ACTIVITIES WHICH TAKE PLACE IN SHIPYARDS ARE SUBJECT TO REGULATION THOUGHT
THE EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW.
The main legal European instruments for protecting the environment, in regard to major operations in
shipyards are the following directives:
the Water Framework Directive (WFD) - for water protection
the Directive on the Limitation of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compound (SED) - for air
protection
the Directive on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (IPPC
directive) (covering among other issues, the soil protection)
the Waste Framework Directive where the issue of waste produced during shipyard operations
is covered in.
and the followings regulations:
European pollutant release and transfer register regulation, and
Regulation on the prohibition of organotin compounds on ships.
As these directives and regulations are subject to continual updating, THE VALUE ADDED TO
ECO_REFITEC BY THIS DELIVERABLE IS THE ANALYSIS OF THE MOST RECENT AND APPLICABLE
EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING SHIP REPAIR PROCESSES. On the basis of conducted analysis,
they have been specified emission standards, prohibitions, responsibilities, and obligations for the ship
repair shipyards. Among others the followings:
There is a Prohibition on using harmful organotin compound in the shipyards.
Shipyards must begin to assess their use of water resources and the impact of the business on
the water environment. They should also begin to review the composition of all losses to water.
Shipyards (waste original producer) are responsible for the proper waste management even
when the waste is transferred to another legal person of the treatment chain.
Shipyards must hold a permit by each installation,
Shipyards must report annually to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer the amounts of
releases to air, water and land of any pollutant specified in Annex II of Regulation 166/2006 for
which the applicable threshold value specified in Annex II is exceeded.
Substances or mixtures which, because of their content of VOCs are assigned or need to carry the hazard
statements H340, H350, H350i, H360D or H360F shall be replaced, as far as possible by less harmful
substances or mixtures within the shortest possible time.
…
As it was indicated above, this Deliverable provides the identification of applicable regulation and their
interpretation regarding the ―needs‖ of shipyards and the Eco-REFITEC project. But, THE
IDENTIFICATION OF CHANGES IN THE LAW, AMBIGUITIES IN THE LEGISLATION, AND UNRESOLVED
PROBLEMS ARE VALUES ADDED TO ECO_REFITEC BY THIS DELIVERABLE AS WELL. To be noted that
directives as master documents cover a very broad areas of activities and ways to solve the problems
European directives‘ applicable requirements for
Ship repair processes.
D 1.2

they set out. This often involves the ambiguity of records, requiring additional guidance and
interpretation, which may vary in each European country.
Some unresolved problems are the followings:
Ship repair industry is harmed by the lack of clear criteria for best available techniques and
supervisory authorities have difficulties in taking a decision about the use of the best available
techniques by operators.
To be noted that, in certain situation, as when the coating activities cannot be carried out under
contained conditions, the operator must demonstrate that the best available technique is being
used.
The operators, engaged in ship repair in most cases are unable to control the type and
quantities, of the substances used in the activities. It leads not only to inaccurate data in the
plans for solvent usage preparation but also to insufficiently correct final results and
conclusions regarding the environmental pollution by volatile organic compounds.
The plan to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds which should lead to reduce the
annual VOC emissions from existing installations is not easily applicable in the ship-repair
sector as consequence of the strongly market depended ship repair work with peaks and valleys.
AS CONCLUSION, THIS DELIVERABLE RELATES TO THE FINAL TARGETED RESULTS OF ECO-REFITEC
SUPPORTING THE EUROPEAN REPAIR SHIPYARD SECTOR IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION.
The knowledge of EU environmental requirements is essential for the accomplishment of the
project.
The study of the relevance of directives and regulation with regard to the shipyards‘ activities
help in determining the legislative limits, which the shipyards will have to operate within.
The legislation analysis has lead to the conclusion that directives are not applicable to research
activities, development activities or testing of new products and processes. Determination of
legislation rules concerning utilization of eco-innovative processes, structures, materials and
modules in the stage of testing in shipyard can be an encouragement for deciding to introduce
changes during operations.

1 Introduction
Shipping and vessels are essential for international trade. Approximately 90% of goods in trade with
partners outside the European Union is transported by sea, in the case of trade within the Union the
proportion is over 40%. It has been considered that ships are the most environmentally friendly means of
transport but there is no doubt that they still affect the environment in the entire life cycle.
Aiming at decreasing ships‘ influence in the stage of exploitation International Maritime Organisation
(IMO) has been preparing environmental requirements and publishing them in conventions. An existing
fleet in order to fulfil new requirements needs to be rebuild and/or reequipped, in other words refitted and
retrofitted in repair shipyards. On the other hand repair shipyards are obliged to respect national and
international environmental law.
Neither insurance of high level of environment protection nor improvement of environmental quality can
be sufficiently achieved by one country (due to transboundary nature of pollution from industrial activities)
but can be achieved at the Union level. Therefore, the European Community has been preparing
environmental requirements and publishing them in directives, which generally have precedence over
national regulations. Directives are constantly updated having regard to development in the scope of
environmental protection.
The purpose of this task is to conduct an overview of relevant EU directives and appropriate regulations to
shape the limits of the existing legislation, showing the requirements for the ship industry, in particular:
Water Framework Directive 2006/60/EC,
Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC,
Directive 1999/13/EC on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compound due to the use of
organic solvent in certain activities and installations,
Directive on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) 2008/1/EC,
Directive on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (Recast).
2010/75/EU,
European pollutant release and transfer register regulation 2006/166/EC,
Regulation on the prohibition of organotin compounds on ships 2008/536/EC.
The aim of this task will be to state, basing on the EU directives and regulation, the emission standards for
the typical processes performed in repair shipyards and prohibitions to avoid harmful effects on the
environment as well as responsibilities and obligations imposed on the shipyards due to use of water and
production of waste.
The results of this task will help the shipyards to assess compliance of their process‘s performance with and
rules, as well as point activities which might require slight modification or serious changes.
Furthermore, the results of this task can be useful to determine legislation rules concerning utilizing of eco-
innovative structures, materials, modules and processes in the stage of research, development and testing in
shipyard.

1.1 Task description
Retrofitting existing vessels with environmentally neutral technologies is a huge challenge to face by
European repair shipyards. Technological processes and technologies utilised in ships maintenance and
repair works i.e.: steel replacement (metal working and cutting, surface preparation/blasting, welding),
protective coating application, bilge and tank cleaning, shipboard equipment repairs and reconditioning
characterise with significant impact on environment. Emissions from shipyards are subject to national and
international laws. In the European Union the emissions are regulated by the European Environmental
Policy, published in 1996, and confirmed and strengthened by a series of Directives for various sources of
pollution, which have recently been substantially toughened.
European shipyards come under the legislative requirements of different directives and need to conform to
the subsequent standards laid down. The following newest and already enforced directives and regulation
have been taken into account during the study:
Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000
establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy,
Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC.
Council Directive 1999/13/EC of 11 March 1999 on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic
compound due to the use of organic solvent in certain activities and installations/SED.
Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning
integrated pollution prevention control /IPPCD.
Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 November 2010 on
industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (Recast) /IED,
Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 January 2006
concerning the establishment of the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and
amending Council directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC.
Regulation (EC) No 782/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 April 2003 on the
prohibition of organotin compounds on ships.

reservoir, a stream, river or canal, part of a stream, river or canal,
transitional water or a stretch of coastal water.
Coastal water (*) Means surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is
at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point
of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured,
extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters.
Combined approach (*) Means the control of discharges and emissions into surface waters
according to the approach set out in Article 10.

ecosystems associated with surface waters, classified in accordance with
Annex V.
Emission controls(*) Are controls requiring a specific emission limitation, for instance an
emission limit value, or otherwise specifying limits or conditions on the
effects, nature or other characteristics of an emission or operating
conditions which affect emissions. Use of the term emission control. in this

Emission limit values (*) (ELV) Means the mass, expressed in terms of certain specific parameters,
concentration and/or level of an emission, which may not be exceeded
during any one or more periods of time. Emission limit values may also be
laid down for certain groups, families or categories of substances, in
particular for those identified under Article 16. The emission limit values
for substances shall normally apply at the point where the emissions leave
the installation, dilution being disregarded when determining them. With
regard to indirect releases into water, the effect of a waste-water treatment
plant may be taken into account when determining the emission limit
values of the installations involved, provided that an equivalent level is
guaranteed for protection of the environment as a whole and provided that
this does not lead to higher levels of pollution in the environment.
Environmental
objectives (*)
Means the objectives set out in Article 4.
Environmental quality
standard (*)
Means the concentration of a particular pollutant or group of pollutants in
water, sediment or biota which should not be exceeded in order to protect

EU Directive A directive is a legislative act of the European Union, which requires
member states to implement (implementation) specific regulation to
achieve, specified in the directive, the desired state of affairs. Directives
can be adopted by a variety of means of legislative procedures depending
on their subject matter.
Notes:
1. Directives normally leave member states with a certain amount of
leeway as to the exact rules to be adopted. In other words, directives oblige
member states to achieve a particular result without dictating the means of
achieving it.
2. It should be noted that the directives give guidelines and guideposts that
are transposed to the national law of member states and only the national
legislation oblige shipyards to particular proceeding within the scope of
directives.
EU Regulations In contrast to directives, regulation are self-executing and do not require
any implementing measures.
Notes:
1. Regulation apply to all member states with no need to transpose its
provisions into national legal systems.
Good surface water
chemical status (*)
Means the chemical status required to meet the environmental objectives
for surface waters established in Article 4(1)(a), that is the chemical status
achieved by a body of surface water in which concentrations of pollutants
do not exceed the environmental quality standards established in Annex IX
and under Article 16(7), and under other relevant Community legislation
setting environmental quality standards at Community level.

Good surface water
status (*)
Means the status achieved by a surface water body when both its ecological

Groundwater (*) Means all water which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation
zone and in direct contact with the ground or subsoil.
Hazard statements Form part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). They are intended to form a set of
standardized phrases about the hazards of chemical substances and
mixtures that can be translated into different languages. As such, they serve
the same purpose as the well-known R-phrases which they are intended to
replace.
Hazard statements are one of the key elements for the labelling of
containers under the GHS.
Each hazard statement is designated a code, starting with the letter H and
followed by three digits. Statements which correspond to related hazards
are grouped together by code number, so the numbering is not consecutive.
The code is used for reference purposes, for example to help with
translations, but it is the actual phrase which should appear on labels and
safety data sheets.
Hazardous substances
(*)
Means substances or groups of substances that are toxic, persistent and
liable to bio-accumulate, and other substances or groups of substances
which give rise to an equivalent level of concern.
Hazardous waste (**) Means waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed
in Annex III.
Heavily modified water
body (*)
Means a body of surface water which as a result of physical alterations by
human activity is substantially changed in character, as designated by the
Member State in accordance with the provisions of Annex II.
Inland water (*) Means all standing or flowing water on the surface of the land, and all
groundwater on the landward side of the baseline from which the breadth of
territorial waters is measured.
Maximum permissible
limits
Values or parameters which establish the maximum degree of concentration
of pollutants which can be discharged or emitted into the atmosphere by a
stationary point source.
Pollutant (*) Means any substance liable to cause pollution, in particular those listed in
Annex VIII.
Pollution (*) Means the direct or indirect introduction, as a result of human activity, of
substances or heat into the air, water or land which may be harmful to
human health or the quality of aquatic ecosystems or terrestrial ecosystems
directly depending on aquatic ecosystems, which result in damage to
material property, or which impair or interfere with amenities and other
legitimate uses of the environment.
Priority substances (*) Means substances identified in accordance with Article 16(2) and listed in
Annex X. Among these substances there are .priority hazardous substances
which means substances identified in accordance with Article 16(3) and (6)
for which measures have to be taken in accordance with Article 16(1) and
(8).

4 EU Waters directive applicable to repair shipyards
The purpose of this section is to establish a framework for the protection of inland surface waters,
transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater.
4.1 Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC Analysis
The EC Water Framework Directive, which came into force on 22nd of December 2000, establishes a new,
integrated approach to protection, improvement and sustainable use of European rivers, lakes, estuaries,
coastal waters and groundwater.
Compliance with the provisions of the directive should lead to progressive reduction of emissions of
hazardous substances into waters, and ultimately, to the elimination of the water environment the priority
hazardous substances.
Protection of groundwater against pollution caused by certain dangerous substances is an important task.
'Good chemical status' for surface water bodies is the aim included in the objectives of the Water
Framework Directive to achieve by 2015. A body would obtain ‗good chemical status‘ if it met all of the
environmental quality standards for priority substances and certain other pollutants.
For that purpose, water management plans as well as water and environmental programs in which include
repair yards are developed in individual member countries.
Compliance with the provisions of the Directives is of particular importance in the yard, since their
existence and functioning is directly related to the coastal, surface and underground waters, and thus their
impact on water quality is important.
The Directive has been amended by:
Decision No 2455/2001/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2001
establishing the list of priority substances in the field of water policy and amending Directive
2000/60/EC.
Directive 2008/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 amending
Directive 2000/60/EC establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy,
as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission.
Directive 2008/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on
environmental quality standards in the field of water policy, amending and subsequently repealing
Council Directives 82/176/EEC, 83/513/EEC, 84/156/EEC, 84/491/EEC, 86/280/EEC and
amending Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the
geological storage of carbon dioxide and amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC, European
Parliament and Council Directives 2000/60/EC, 2001/80/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2006/12/EC, 2008/1/EC
and Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.
Note:
The new Groundwater Directive (Directive 2006/118/EC) and Environmental Quality Standards Directive
(Directive 2008/105/EC) are the daughter directives to this Directive.

Purpose (c, d)
This directive
- aims at enhanced protection and
improvement of the aquatic environment,
inter alia, through specific measures for
the progressive reduction of discharges,
emissions and losses of priority
substances and the cessation or phasing-
out of discharges, emissions and losses
of the priority hazardous substances;
- ensures the progressive reduction of
pollution of groundwater and prevents its
further pollution and thereby contributes
to:
- a significant reduction in pollution of
groundwater,
- the protection of territorial and
marine waters, and
- achieving the objectives of relevant
international agreements, including
those which aim to prevent and
eliminate pollution of the marine
environment, by Community action
under Article 16(3) to cease or phase
out discharges, emissions and losses
of priority hazardous substances, with
the ultimate aim of achieving
concentrations in the marine
environment near background values
for naturally occurring substances
and close to zero for man-made
synthetic substances.

5 EU Waste directive applicable to repair shipyards
Former Directive 2006/12/EC on waste was revised by Directive 2008/98/EC in order to modernise and
streamline its initial provisions.
The revised Directive 2008/98/EC, which it is analyses below, sets the basic concepts and definitions
related to waste management and lays down waste management principles such as the "polluter pays
principle" or the "waste hierarchy".
5.1 Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC Analysis
Directive of the European Parliament on waste, which came into force in December 2008, establishes the
essential requirements for waste management, state obligations and responsibilities of waste generators and
defines key concepts such as waste, hazardous waste, waste oil, waste recovery and disposal.
It sets out key principles of dealing with waste in such a way that they have no a negative impact on the
environment and establishes a requirement that the cost of the waste disposal must be borne by the holder
of the waste or the waste producers.
Repair shipyards, due to the profile of their activities, produce waste, hazardous waste and waste oils
(hydraulic, engine, gear, lubricants, bilge from the wharves and ships). Hazardous waste produced and
collected in the yard is primarily waste from paint and varnish, waste emulsions of metalworking, brake
fluids, transformers, asbestos-containing materials.
Proper waste management is a difficult task and requires considerable knowledge about the existing
legislation.
Member states were obliged to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions to
comply with this Directive no later than 12 December 2010.

6 EU directive on the limitation of emissions of VOC applicable to
repair shipyards
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints/solvents are one of the most important sources of
pollutant outputs for the shipbuilding and ship repair industry.
In this section, Directive 1999/13/EC on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compound due to
the use of organic solvent in certain activities and installations is going to be analysed as main policy
instrument.
To be noted that:
1. The directive was amended through the following sources:
Annex I, point 17 of the Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 of the European Parliament and of the
Council (OJ L 284, 31.10.2003, p. 1) which amends article 13,
Article 13(1) of the Directive 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on
the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of organic solvents in
certain paints and varnishes and vehicle refinishing products(OJ L 143, 30.4.2004, p. 87)
Article 3 of the Directive 2008/112/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(OJ L
345, 23.12.2008, p. 68. which amends article 5 paragraph 6,8,9,10 and 13.
2. This directive as amended will be repealed with effect from 7 January 2014 by the Directive
2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and
control). It without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for
transposition into national law and application of the Directive as set out in the Annex IX, Part B.2
of the Directive 2010/75/EU. (See section 8).

6.1 Council Directive 1999/13/EC of 11 March 1999 on the limitation of
emissions of volatile organic compound due to the use of organic solvent in
certain activities and installations. /SED
The VOC Solvents Emissions Directive is the main policy instrument concerning reduction of industrial
emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the European Union. The VOC Solvents Emissions
Directive requires installations, which such activities (source of VOC emissions) are applied in to comply
either
with the emission limit values set out in the Directive (see section 6.1.2) or
with the requirements of the so-called reduction scheme (see section 6.1.3)
The Directive sets out emission limit values for VOCs in waste gases and maximum levels for fugitive
emissions (expressed as percentage of solvent input) or total emission limit values.
The purpose of the reduction scheme is to allow the operator a possibility to achieve by other means
emission reductions, equivalent to those achieved if the emission limit values were to be applied. This
could be typically achieved by substituting high-solvent products with low-solvent or solvent-free ones and
changing to solvent free production processes. New installations have to comply with the requirements of
the VOC Solvents Emissions Directive at the time they are starting the activity. The final implementation
date for existing installations was 31 October 2007.
The VOC Solvents Emissions Directive covers a wide range of solvent using activities e.g. printing, vehicle
coating, dry cleaning and manufacture of footwear and pharmaceutical products which could be classified
as ―indoor activities‖, where the measures for reduction of VOC emissions are easier to be performed. The
painting and coating processes in the shipbuilding and ship repair are rather ―outdoor activities‖, where the
achievement of low emission limits is more problematic.

Requirements,
paragraph 3
a) For fugitive emissions, Member States shall
apply fugitive emission values to
installations as an emission limit value.
However, where it is demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the competent authority that
for an individual installation this value is
not technically and economically feasible,
the competent authority can make an
exception for such an individual installation
provided that significant risks to human
health or the environment are not to be
expected. For each derogation the operator
must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
competent authority that the best available
technique is being used.
b) Activities which cannot be operated under
contained conditions may be exempted from
the controls of Annex IIA, when this
possibility is explicitly mentioned in that
Annex. The reduction scheme of Annex IIB
is then to be used, unless it is demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the competent authority
that this option is not technically and
economically feasible. In this case, the
operator must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the competent authority that
the best available technique is being used.
In situations where it is
demonstrated that the
compliance with the
thresholds specified in
Annex IIA for fugitive
emissions or the reduction
scheme of Annex B are not
technically and
economically feasible, the
competent authority can
make an exemption
providing that the operators
of shipyards are able to
demonstrate that the best
available techniques are
already being used.

Table 8: DIRECTIVE 1999/13/EC: Annex IIB.
Reduction Schema
The purpose of the reduction scheme is to allow the operator the possibility to achieve by other means emission
reductions, equivalent to those achieved if the emission limit values were to be applied. To that end the operator may
use any reduction scheme, specially designed for his installation, provided that in the end an equivalent emission
reduction is achieved. Member States shall report according to Article 11 of the Directive to the Commission about
the progress in achieving the same emission reduction, including the experience from the application of the reduction
scheme.
In the case of applying coatings, varnishes, adhesives or inks, the following scheme can be used. Where the
following method is inappropriate the competent authority may allow an operator to apply any alternative exemption
scheme which it is satisfied fulfils the principles outlined here. The design of the scheme takes into account the
following facts:
(i) where substitutes containing little or no solvent are still under development, a time extension must be given
to the operator to implement his emission reduction plans;
(ii) the reference point for emission reductions should correspond as closely as possible to the emissions which
would have resulted had no reduction action been taken.
The following scheme shall operate for installations for which a constant solid content of product can be assumed
and used to define the reference point for emission reductions:
(i) the operator shall forward an emission reduction plan which includes in particular decreases in the average
solvent content of the total input and/or increased efficiency in the use of solids to achieve a reduction of
the total emissions from the installation to a given percentage of the annual reference emissions, termed the
target emission. This must be done on the following time frame:
Time period Maximum allowed total annual
emissions New installations Existing installations
By 31.10.2001 By 31.10.2005 Target emission ×1,5
By 31.10.2004 By 31.10.2007 Target emission
(ii) The annual reference emission is calculated as follows:
a. The total mass of solids in the quantity of coating and/or ink, varnish or adhesive consumed in a
year is determined. Solids are all materials in coatings, inks, varnishes and adhesives that become
solid once the water or the volatile organic compounds are evaporated.
b. The annual reference emissions are calculated by multiplying the mass determined in (a) by the
appropriate factor listed in the table below. Competent authorities may adjust these factors for
individual installations to reflect documented increased efficiency in the use of solids.
Activity Multiplication factor for use

The lack of definitely determined threshold
for ship repair work does not allow operators
to apply the provisions, relating to operators
of other activities and places them at a
disadvantage to them.
In addition entitle the supervisory authorities
to assess subjectively the methods and
techniques to reduce levels of exhaust
emissions and therefore misunderstandings
arise in applying the Directive.
Therefore the following proposition could be
made:
To be set a representative value of the
threshold limit emissions of volatile organic
compounds and annual reference emissions
based on the product quantities (solid
substances) consumed per coated surface unit ,
similar for instance to the coating activity for
vehicles.
According to the limits as listed in Annex
IIA of the Directive, for the activity
performed by the ship repair facilities can
be considered the limits of paragraph 8
where note 4 says:.(4) Activities coating
under controlled conditions (such as
shipbuilding, aircraft painting) may be
exempted from compliance with these
values in accordance with article 5,
paragraph 3, point b.
However, the conditions in the ship repair
activity are the so-called uncontrollable
type that means the gas emissions are
diffuse but not organized.
Therefore, the requirements for adherence
to the emissions stated, respectively 20 mg
C/N m3, are not applicable. Instead a plan
for emissions reducing is to be applied,
unless if it is conclusively demonstrated to
the competent authority, that this option is
technically and economically unfeasible.
In this case the operator must demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the competent
authority, that the best available techniques
are used.

Ship repair industry is harmed by the lack of
clear criteria for best available techniques and
supervisory authorities have difficulties in
taking a decision about the use of the best
available techniques by operators.
There are cases in the ship repair practice,
when an operator of installation presents
well founded evidences for actual usage of
the best available techniques
(technologies, equipment, and products)
and the possibility for father decreasing of
VOC emissions is technically and
economically impossible. According to the
Directive recommendation the operator
have to be exempted from the obligation
for annually development of a plane for
VOC emissions reducing, but some
problems with the supervisory authorities
arises.

Correlate with
Article 58 of
Directive
2010/75/EU.
The operators, engaged in ship repair in most
cases are unable to control the type and
quantities, of the substances used in the
activities. It leads not only to inaccurate data
in the plans for solvent usage preparation but
also to insufficiently correct final results and
conclusions regarding the environmental
pollution by volatile organic compounds.
For these reasons (lack of information on the
products and information about next year
activities volume) the operator of the activity
is not able to predict the presence of
substances whit prohibited for use risk
components and to ask permission for use in
the next calendar year with clear indication of
the risk components and the amounts
necessary for operation of the installation.
Due to the lack of the accompanying product
safety sheets it is difficult to be adequately
estimated the quantities of solvents used and
to be prepared sufficiently representative
solvent management plan for the competent
authorities.
Substances or preparations indicated by
the risk phrases R5, R46, R49, R60 and
R61 as possible soon are replaced as far as
possible with less harmful substances or
preparations. Practice in the country is to
receive from the supervisory authorities in
advance (before the commencement of
operations for the year) a permission
stating the kind of preparations, the kind of
the risk phrases and the necessary
quantities.
In fact, in the almost all ship repair
companies:
1. The coating activities are performed
by outsourcing companies.
2. Shipping agents themselves deliver
preparations (paint, primer and solvents)
at the time of arrival of the vessel. Often
the supplied and used products are of
unknown origin and content and without
supporting documents (identification
sheets for safe use).
Article 5.
Requirements,
Paragraph 12
The operators of the installations are
practically obstructed to timely report the use
of preparations with risk phrases and so fall
under the blows of the law.
It requires periodic annual change and
approval by the supervisory authorities of
target and reference annual emissions and
creates misunderstandings and doubts about
the subjectivity.
Operators are not exempt from the
obligation to comply with the requirements
as shown in article 5, paragraphs 6, 7 and
8.
The plan to reduce emissions of volatile
organic compounds have to lead to reduce
the annual VOC emissions from existing
installations that fall within the scope of
this Directive. At the same time for ship
repair work, which is not so predictable
and is strongly marked depended, is very
difficult to be exactly defined in advance
the volume of areas to be coated during the
year and therefore often occurs after a
weak year the emissions for the next year
to exceed several times those of previous.
Article 7.
Substitution
In the actual ship repair work are frequently
used products containing substances with the
indicated risk phrases as for example so-called
antifouling paints. Replacement of these
products is hampered by the lack of a list of
substitutes.
It has not been prepared and published a
list of preparations and solvents replacing
those that contain the listed risk phrases in
order to enable the operators to select low-
risk products.

In this section, Directive 2008/1/EC 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention control is going to be
analysed as main policy instrument.
To be noted that this directive as amended by Article 37 of the Directive 2009/31/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 114), will be repealed with effect from 7 January
2014 by the Directive 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution
prevention and control). It without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time
limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directive as set out in the Annex IX, Part
B.2 of the Directive 2010/75/EU. (See section 8).
7.1 Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 15
January 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention control (codified
version)
The aim of the IPPC Directive is to achieve integrated prevention and control of pollution arising from
industrial installations across the EU member states. It requires installations to operate in accordance with
permits which include emission limit values or other technical measures based on the use of Best Available
Techniques (BAT) to prevent or reduce emissions to water, air and soil, as well as to tackle other
environmental impacts.
Directive 2008/11/EC is a codified version of the first IPPC directive which came into force on 24th of
September 1996.
This Directive (2008) lays down measures designed to prevent or, where that is not practicable, to reduce
the emissions to air, water and land from activities covered under this directive, including measures
concerning waste, in order to achieve a high level of protection of the environment taken as a whole.
Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that new and existing installations are operated
with a permit issued in accordance with this Directive.
This Directive is concerned with installations whose potential for pollution is significant, especially listed
in Annex I of Directive. Some types of activities conducted by the repair shipyards are part of categories of
industrial activities described in the Directive. The detailed analysis of articles that may concern the
activity carried out by the repair shipyards are provided in the table below.

8 EU directive on industrial emissions applicable to repair
shipyards
8.1 Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 24
November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and
control) (Recast).
The IED merges into a single legal instrument seven Directives.
Council Directive 78/176/EEC of 20 February 1978 on waste from the titanium dioxide industry
Council Directive 82/883/EEC of 3 December 1982 on procedures for the surveillance and monitoring
of environments concerned by waste from the titanium dioxide industry
Council Directive 92/112/EEC of 15 December 1992 on procedures for harmonising the programmes
for the reduction and eventual elimination of pollution caused by waste from the titanium dioxide
industry
Council Directive 1999/13/EC of 11 March 1999 on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic
compounds due to the use of organic solvents in certain activities and installations
Directive 2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2000 on the
incineration of waste
Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the
limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants, and
Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning
integrated pollution prevention and control (10) OJ L 24, 29.1.2008, p. 8..
Two of them are important ones for the Ship repair business, the IPPCD (Directive 2008/1/EC) and the
SED (Directive 1999/13/EC on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compound). Both are
repealed with effect from 7 January 2014, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States
relating to the time limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in
Annex IX, Part B.2.
Table 11: Annex IX, Part B.2. List of time-limits for transposition into national law and
application

1999/13/EC 1 April 2001
2008/1/EC 30 October 1999 (1) 30 October 1999
(1)Directive 2008/1/EC is a codified version of Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996
concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (OJ L 257, 10.10.1996, p. 26) and the time-limits for
transposition and application remain in force.
The IED clarified the interaction between the included legal instruments and streamlines many important
provisions, including those related to monitoring and reporting.
The IED greatly strengthens the importance of BAT in the permitting procedure and addresses certain
shortcomings of the IPPCD, in particular with regard to permit reviews and inspections.
The IED lays down more detailed rules on the review of permits and, in particular, provides for the
compulsory reconsideration of permits within four years of publication of decisions on BAT conclusions.
The directive repeatedly refers to some activities carried out in the yard, namely:

Chapter 11
Coatings of Ships and Yachts
Paragraph:
11.4.8 Waste gas treatment
Description: For a general description, see Section 20.11.
Emissions from painting and blasting activities can be reduced effectively by using closed
workshops (see Sections 11.4.2.3 and 20.11.2.1). These can be equipped with waste gas treatment
techniques as described in Section 20.11.
For example, VOC containing waste gases from spraying can be adsorbed via activated carbon
(see Section 20.11.6.1). Alternatively, the organic solvents can be treated in a thermal oxidiser
(see Section 20.11.4.4). Where concentrations of VOC allow, the solvent can be regenerated from
absorption, or the thermal oxidiser used can be regenerative and recover the heat from the
oxidation process.
Dust and overspray particles may be treated by techniques described in Section 20.11.3.
Achieved Environmental Benefits: Significant reduction in VOCs and/or dust emissions.
At the example plant, a waste gas treatment installation of 300000 m3/hr capacity is used. VOC
emissions are reduced by 75% and an average clean gas concentration of 23 mg/m3 is achieved.
Efficient ventilation and dust abatement systems enable a five-fold change of air each hour and in
the cleaned air, dust concentrations of less than 5 mg/m3 can be achieved.
Cross-media effects: Energy consumption for waste gas treatment.
Operational data: Dust levels may have to be reduced prior to VOC abatement.
Applicability: Applicable to the refurbishment of shipyards.
Economics: High costs are involved.
11.4.9 Waste water treatment
Description: Waste water can be treated prior to discharge, either at the source (e.g. when slurry
blasting) or collected and sent to a waste water treatment plant, either on or off-site. The treatment
required will depend on the substances present and the discharge point (to surface waters such as
the harbour, or to the municipal foul sewer). Section 20.12 discusses several waste water treatment
techniques and provides other sources of information.
European directives‘ applicable requirements for
Ship repair processes.
D 1.2
Document Id. ECOREFITEC-D-1.2-2011-05-30-CTO-Analysis EU Directives–rev-3 Page 57 of 81
Achieved Environmental Benefits: Reduction in water pollution, particularly in enclosed
harbours or estuarial areas.
Cross-media effects: Any energy and chemicals used in treatment.
Operational data: For example:
(i) When using water blasting techniques, the waste water can be collected in the dock, put into
tanks and fed into waste water treatment plants (see Section 11.3.2.2).
(ii) At one installation, the waste water treatment is in several steps consisting of precipitation and
flocculation (such as by using iron (III) chloride), followed by separation and filtration. To
reduce the volume and weight of waste produced, the separated sludge is pressed prior to
disposal. The cleaned waste water is re-used or, in the case of surplus water, discharged as
waste water. With this system, emission levels for filterable substances of 10 mg/l can be
achieved after treatment.
Applicability: Readily applied.
11.4.10 Waste management
Description: The following residues are collected and their disposal is managed according to the
relevant legislation and procedures. This is particularly important prior to flooding a dry dock:
- paint residues that have been removed
- paint leftovers, and used paint recipients
- coating overspray
- used and contaminated blasting abrasives
- cleaning materials
- Mud, oily residues and other materials that have been scraped off or removed.
Some materials, such as used abrasives and scrap materials may be collected separately to assist
their recycling and re-use.
Achieved environmental benefits: Prevents contamination of the water environment

Chapter 21
Best Available Techniques for Surface Treatment using Organic Solvents
Paragraph:
21.11 Best available techniques for the coating of ships and yachts
The Introduction to this chapter (in the section ‗Some aids to understand this chapter‘, Paragraph
2) sets out how the BAT in this section relate to the generic BAT in Section 21.1.
The sale and use of antifouling containing tri-butyl-tin oxide (TBTO) is controlled by EU
legislation, see Section 11.2.3. Options for less eco-toxic antifouling coatings are described in
Section 11.4.5.
BAT is to minimise the emissions to the environment by ensuring that the BAT in this section are
included in the dry dock discipline for the installation.
Solvent emissions to air
BAT is to reduce VOC emissions by a combination of the following techniques in conjunction
with the generic BAT described in Section 21.1:
- Using water-based, high solids or 2-component paints (with or without using hot spraying,
see Section 11.4.4.2) instead of traditional solvent-based paints (see Section 11.4.2). The
extent of substitution may be limited by the customer requirements and the technical
requirements for the coating
- reducing overspray and increasing application efficiency (see Section 11.4.6) by keeping the
overspray at the bottom of the dry dock by:
- the use of nets, water curtains or other methods
- limiting spraying in weather conditions where the wind intensity and direction will
increase overspray
- for new construction, spraying the sections constructed prior to assembly (‗block stages‘) in
enclosed areas (see Section 11.2.1)
- extracting air from enclosed areas where spraying is carried out and applying a suitable
combination of the waste gas treatment techniques described in Section 20.11 (see also
Section 11.4.6.3).
Particulate emissions to air
BAT is to reduce dust particulate emissions to air by one or more of the following techniques:
- containing the dust and any abrasive and removed paint particles within the dock or the
slipway by:
- the use of nets and/or water curtains or another similar method
- limiting paint removal with an abrasive in weather conditions where the wind
intensity and direction will increase dust drift
- The use of shroud blasting or vacuum blasting, high pressure water or slurry blasting,
(see Sections 11.4.3.2, 11.4.3.3, 11.4.3.4) according to technical requirements.
BAT is to reduce waste water contamination by removing paint residues, leftovers and containers,

used abrasives, mud, oil residues and any other scrap materials from the dock before flooding.
These materials are to be kept in containers for proper management, e.g. re-use and/or disposal
(see Sections 11.3.3.1 and 20.12).

Chapter 22
Emerging Techniques for Surface Treatment using Solvents
22.10 Coating of ships and yachts
22.10.1 Hot electrostatic air mix
Description: This technique can be used indoors and outdoors. Because of the heating of the
paint, the right viscosity can be gained so less VOC is emitted. Note that production can be lower
than with conventional techniques.
Achieved Environmental Benefits: Reduced VOC emissions.
Applicability: Applicable indoors, for example with maintenance and repair work, and outdoors,
in combination with S-shaped windscreens.
Example plant: In the Netherlands, a pilot is being carried out to use hot electrostatic air mix
techniques on ships.
22.10.2 Replacement of antifouling paints based on biocides (substitution)
22.10.2.1 Paints with natural biocides
Description: Natural biocides are produced, for example, by some coral species as a protection
against fouling
Achieved Environmental Benefits: This antifouling system does not contain heavy metals or
biocides.
Operational data: These substances show a lower persistence due to a better biodegradability
rating compared to inorganic materials such as copper compounds or TBT.
Applicability: Paints containing natural biocides are still being tested.
22.10.2.2 Coatings with special surface properties for a reduction of fouling
Description: Coatings with a special surface structure such as micro-roughness can be used for a
reduction of fouling.
Achieved Environmental Benefits: This antifouling system does not contain heavy metals or
biocides.
Operational data: A pilot project for the testing of environmentally sound antifouling paints was
carried out by an environmental regulator, a green NGO and paint manufacturers. During the
study, this type of coating performed the best out of all biocide-free materials.
Applicability: Applicable to all ships.
Economics: Costs are claimed to comparable to other tin- and copper-free antifoulings.
Driving Forces for Implementation: SED, Water pollution legislation and policies.

Concluding Remarkss
Paragraph: 23.4.2
‘Coating of trains, agricultural and construction equipment, ships and yachts, aircraft, other metal
surfaces, plastics: Very little information was received on these topics, although significant additional
information was provided after Draft 2 for ship repair. Conclusions were drawn for other metal surfaces
and plastics based on the automotive (OEM) installations and the expert opinion of the TWG.
Recommendation: More data are required in these areas to improve the quality of the BAT conclusions.
Data on the manufacturing and coating of new ships and yachts (particularly using polyester resins) are
needed. The shipping industry (and others) may not understand that high solids paints (with lower solvent
emissions) may be more expensive per kg, but the same price per m2 treated: more information needs to
be made available on this‘.

9 EU Regulation concerning the establishment of the European
Pollutant Release and Transfer Register
9.1 Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and the Council
of 18 January 2006 concerning the establishment of the European Pollutant
Release and Transfer Register and amending Council directives 91/689/EEC
and 96/61/EC.
This Regulation establishes an integrated pollutant release and transfer register at Community level (‗the
European PRTR‘) in the form of a publicly accessible electronic database and lays down rules for its
functioning.
Under this regulation, operators of industrial installations, leading at least one of the activities listed in
Annex I to Regulation, are required to prepare annual reports on the quantities:
releases to air, water and land of any pollutant specified in Annex II of Regulation for which the
applicable threshold value specified in Annex II is exceeded;

applicable threshold value specified in Annex II is exceeded;
any pollutant specified in Annex II in waste water destined for waste-water treatment for which the
threshold value specified in Annex II column 1b is exceeded.
Pollutant release and transfer registers (‗PRTRs‘) provide public access with information on releases of
pollutants and off-site transfers of pollutants and waste, and can be used in tracking trends, demonstrating
progress in pollution reduction, monitoring compliance with certain international agreements, setting
priorities and evaluating progress achieved through Community and national environmental policies and
programs.
The reporting for E-PRTR concerns operator of installations requiring integrated permits. Besides them,
also includes among other things: installations for the building of, and painting or removal of paint from
ships with a capacity for ships 100 m long. The requirements for repair shipyards resulting from this
regulation are presented in Table 15.

10 EU Regulation on the prohibition of organotin compounds on
ships
10.1 Regulation (EC) No 782/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council
of 14 April 2003 on the prohibition of organotin compounds on ships
amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 536/2008 of 13 June 2008
Organotin compounds used as anti-fouling systems on ships, and in particular of tributyltin(TBT) coatings
turned out to have a harmful environmental effects. The regulation on the prohibition of organotin
compounds on ships is an instrument imposing on shipowners and member states of EU, directly and
within a short time frame, precise requirements to be implemented at the same time and in the same manner
throughout the Community. This regulation seek solely to prohibit organotin compound and should not
duplicate the Antifouling System Convention (AFS Convention).
Regulation entered into force on 17th of September, 2008 and introduced prohibition antyfouling paints
and system with oraganotin by shipyards for applying on ships. Detailed discussion on the regulation in
terms of repair shipyards is given in Table 16.

11 Conclusions
On the basis of conducted analysis of EU directives and regulation, there have been specified emission
standards, prohibitions, responsibilities, and obligations for the ship repair shipyards.
But also have been identified changes in the law, ambiguities in the legislation, and unresolved problems.
11.1 Summary of specified emission standards, prohibitions, responsibilities, and
obligations for the ship repair shipyards
A) Emission Standards
For the activity performed in shipyard described as: ―Other coating, including metal, plastic, textile, fabric,
film and paper‖ shipyards should meet or with a) or with b)
a) With the following Fugitive emission limit values
- If Threshold (solvent consumption threshold in tonnes/year) is between 5-15 tonnes per
year, for new and existing installation, the Fugitive emission limit values equals 25% of
solvent input.
- If Threshold > 15 tonnes per year, for new and existing installation, the Fugitive emission
limit values equals 20% of solvent input.
Wherein:
Coating activities which cannot be carried out under contained condition (such as: shipbuilding,
aircraft paintings) may be exempted from these value in accordance with Article 59 (3) of Directive
2010/75/EU (IED)
b) With the requirements of the reduction scheme set out in Part 5 of Annex VII of Directive
2010/75/EU (IED) provided that an equivalent emission reduction is achieved compared to that
achieved through the application of the emission limit values referred to in point (a).
B) Prohibitions
There is a Prohibition on using harmful organotin compound in the shipyards.
C) Responsibilities
Shipyards must manage waste and use of water according to the relevant requirements.
Shipyards must begin to assess their use of water resources and the impact of the business on the
water environment. They should also begin to review the composition of all losses to water.
European directives‘ applicable requirements for
Ship repair processes.
D 1.2
Document Id. ECOREFITEC-D-1.2-2011-05-30-CTO-Analysis EU Directives–rev-3 Page 67 of 81
Shipyards, like all water consumers, will have a new responsibility in the future to minimise their
impact on the water environment. They will have to remove small amounts of contaminants found
in waste water; they will be obliged to remove such traces at source.
Shipyards (waste original producer) are responsible for the proper waste management even when
the waste is transferred to another legal person of the treatment chain.
D) Obligations
Shipyards must hold a permit by each installation, or by way of derogation, member states may set
a procedure for the registration of installations covered only by Chapter V of Directive 2010/75/EU
(IED).
Shipyards that undertakes activities described below,
- ―Installations for the surface treatment of substances, objects or products using organic
solvents, in particular for dressing, printing, coating, degreasing, waterproofing, sizing,
painting, cleaning or impregnating‖ with capacity threshold: ―a consumption capacity of
150 kg per hour or 200 tonnes per year‖.
- ―Installations for the building of, and painting or removal of paint from ships‖ with
capacity threshold ―a capacity for ships 100 m long‖.
must report annually to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) the
amounts of the following:
a) releases to air, water and land of any pollutant specified in Annex II of Regulation 166/2006
for which the applicable threshold value specified in Annex II is exceeded;
b) off-site transfers of hazardous waste exceeding 2 tonnes per year or of non hazardous waste
exceeding 2000 tonnes per year, for any operations of recovery or disposal with the exception
given in Article 5 of the Regulation
c) off-site transfers of any pollutant specified in Annex II of the Regulation in waste water
destined for waste-water treatment for which the threshold value specified in Annex II, column
1b is exceeded.
A shipyard that undertakes activities mentioned above, over the specified applicable capacity
threshold shall communicate to its competent authority the information identifying the facility in
accordance with Annex III of the Regulation.

11.2 Changes in the law and implications
Analysis of legislation relating to the activities of the shipyard has revealed that the introduction into force
of DIRECTIVE 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (IED) may have implications for shipyards.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that two Directives 1999/13/EC and 2008/1/EC are repealed with effect
from 7 January 2014.
According to IED Article 82 Transitional provisions concerning shipyards activities should be taken into
account that:
For Installations carrying out activities referred to in point 6.7 of the IED-Annex I, (which are in
operation and hold a permit before 7 January 2013 or the operators of which have submitted a
complete application for a permit before that date, provided that those installations are put into
operation no later than 7 January 2014); Member States shall apply the laws, regulations and
administrative provisions adopted in accordance with IED Article 80(1) from 7 January 2014.
Notes:
1. The Activities included in point 6.7 are: Surface treatment of substances, objects or products using
organic solvents, in particular for dressing, printing, coating, degreasing, waterproofing, sizing,
painting, cleaning or impregnating, with an organic solvent consumption capacity of more than
150 kg per hour or more than 200 tonnes per year.
IED Article 58 shall apply from 1 June 2015. Until that date, substances or mixtures which,
because of their content of volatile organic compounds classified as carcinogens, mutagens, or
toxic to reproduction under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, areas signed or need to carry the
hazard statements H340, H350, H350i, H360D or H360F or the risk phrases R45, R46, R49, R60
or R61, shall be replaced, as far as possible, by less harmful substances or mixtures within the
shortest possible time.
IED Article 59, paragraph 5 shall apply from 1 June 2015. Until that date, the emissions of either
volatile organic compounds which areas signed or need to carry the hazard statements H340, H350,
H350i, H360D or H360F or the risk phrases R45, R46, R49, R60or R61 or halogenated volatile
organic compounds which areas signed or need to carry the hazard statements H341 or H351or the
risk phrases R40 or R68, shall be controlled under contained conditions, as far as technically and
economically feasible, to safeguard public health and the environment and shall not exceed the
relevant emission limit values set out in Part 4 of Annex VII.
IED Point 2 of Part 4 of Annex VII shall apply from 1 June 2015. Until that date, for emissions
of halogenated volatile organic compounds which are assigned or need to carry the hazard
statements H341 or H351 or the risk phrases R40 or R68, where the mass flow of the sum of the
compounds causing the hazard statements H341 or H351 or the labelling R40 or R68 is greater
than, or equal to, 100 g/h, an emission limit value of 20 mg/Nm3 shall be complied with. The
emission limit value refers to the mass sum of the individual compounds.

11.3 Ambiguities in the legislation: Unresolved problems
Directives as master documents cover a very broad areas of activities and ways to solve the problems they
set out. This often involves the ambiguity of records, requiring additional guidance and interpretation,
which may vary in each European countries.
To be highlighted that as indicated in section 6.1.4
According with DIRECTIVE 2010/75/EU Table in Part 2 of Annex VII, Coating activities which
cannot be carried out under contained conditions (such as shipbuilding painting) may be exempted
from the thresholds and emission limit values of activities using organic solvents. For these coating
activities which cannot be carried out under contained conditions, the reduction scheme of Annex
IIB is then to be used, unless it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that
this option is not technically and economically feasible. In this case, the operator must demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the best available technique is being used.
As the conditions in the ship repair activity are the so-called uncontrollable type that means the gas
emissions are diffuse but not organized, the requirements for adherence to the emissions stated,
respectively 20 mg C/N m3, are not applicable. In this case the operator must demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the competent authority, that the best available techniques are used, but it is not an
easy task.
Ship repair industry is harmed by the lack of clear criteria for best available techniques and
supervisory authorities have difficulties in taking a decision about the use of the best available
techniques by operators.
The operators, engaged in ship repair in most cases are unable to control the type and quantities, of
the substances used in the activities. It leads not only to inaccurate data in the plans for solvent
usage preparation but also to insufficiently correct final results and conclusions regarding the
environmental pollution by volatile organic compounds.
By other hand, the plan to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds have to lead to reduce
the annual VOC emissions from existing installations that fall within the scope of this Directive. At
the same time for ship repair work, which is not so predictable and is strongly market depended, is
very difficult to be exactly defined in advance the volume of areas to be coated during the year and
therefore often occurs after a weak year the emissions for the next year to exceed several times
those of previous
Therefore the following proposition could be made:
To set a representative value of the threshold limit emissions of volatile organic compounds and annual
reference emissions based on the product quantities (solid substances) consumed per coated surface unit ,
similar for instance to the coating activity for vehicles.

11.4 Utilizing of eco-innovations in ship repair sector
The legislation analysis has lead to the conclusion that directives are not applicable to research activities,
development activities or testing of new products and processes. Determination of legislation rules
concerning utilization of eco-innovative processes, structures, materials and modules in the stage of testing
in shipyard can be an encouragement for deciding to introduce changes during operations.
Meeting new requirements of environmental protection, resulting from tightening of the law, is a great
challenge for the shipyards, because two kinds of aspects are valid for the shipyard when the decision is to
be taken:
environmental considerations – scale, severity, probability, duration;
Business considerations – difficulty of changing impact; effect on public image/perception,
outcome of change on activities, products, or services; cost of changing impact.
The best solution for shipyards would be to find a balance between these two considerations and ECO-
REFITEC is aimed to provide the useful tools making this goal reachable.

(1) CAS: Chemical Abstracts Service.
(2) This parameter is the EQS expressed as an annual average value (AA-EQS). Unless otherwise specified, it applies to the
total concentration of all isomers.
(3) Inland surface waters encompass rivers and lakes and related artificial or heavily modified water bodies.
(4) This parameter is the EQS expressed as a maximum allowable concentration (MAC-EQS). Where the MAC-EQS are
marked as ‗not applicable‘, the AA-EQS values are considered protective against short-term pollution peaks in continuous
discharges since they are significantly lower than the values derived on the basis of acute toxicity.
(5) For the group of priority substances covered by brominated diphenylethers (No 5) listed in Decision No 2455/2001/EC, an
EQS is established only for congener numbers 28, 47, 99, 100, 153 and 154.
(6) For cadmium and its compounds (No 6) the EQS values vary depending on the hardness of the water as specified in five
class categories (Class 1: < 40 mg CaCO3/l, Class 2: 40 to < 50 mg CaCO3/l, Class 3: 50 to < 100 mg CaCO3/l, Class 4:
100 to < 200 mg CaCO3/l and Class 5: ≥ 200 mg CaCO3/l).
(7) This substance is not a priority substance but one of the other pollutants for which the EQS are identical to those laid down
in the legislation that applied prior to 13 January 2009.
(8) DDT total comprises the sum of the isomers 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 50-29-3; EU
number 200-024-3); 1,1,1-trichloro-2 (o-chlorophenyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 789-02-6; EU number 212-
332-5); 1,1-dichloro-2,2 bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethylene (CAS number 72-55-9; EU number 200-784-6); and 1,1-dichloro-2,2
bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 72-54-8; EU number 200-783-0).
(9) If Member States do not apply EQS for biota they shall introduce stricter EQS for water in order to achieve the same level
of protection as the EQS for biota set out in Article 3(2) of this Directive. They shall notify the Commission and other
Member States, through the Committee referred to in Article 21 of Directive 2000/60/EC, of the reasons and basis for using
this approach, the alternative EQS for water established, including the data and the methodology by which the alternative
EQS were derived, and the categories of surface water to which they would apply.
(10
) For the group of priority substances of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) (No 28), each individual EQS is applicable, i.e.
the EQS for Benzo(a)pyrene, the EQS for the sum of Benzo(b)fluoranthene and Benzo(k)fluoranthene and the EQS for the
sum of Benzo(g,h,i)perylene and Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene must be met.
APPLICATION OF THE EQS SET OUT ABOVE (PART B)
1. Columns 4 and 5 of the table: For any given surface water body, applying the AA-EQS means that, for each representative
monitoring point within the water body, the arithmetic mean of the concentrations measured at different times during the
year does not exceed the standard.
The calculation of the arithmetic mean, the analytical method used and, where there is no appropriate analytical method
meeting the minimum performance criteria, the method of applying an EQS must be in accordance with implementing acts
adopting technical specifications for chemical monitoring and quality of analytical results, in accordance with Directive
2000/60/EC.
2. Columns 6 and 7 of the table: For any given surface water body, applying the MAC-EQS means that the measured
concentration at any representative monitoring point within the water body does not exceed the standard.

However, in accordance with section 1.3.4 of Annex V to Directive 2000/60/EC, Member States may introduce statistical
methods, such as a percentile calculation, to ensure an acceptable level of confidence and precision for determining
compliance with the MAC-EQS. If they do so, such statistical methods shall comply with detailed rules laid down in
accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2) of this Directive.
3. With the exception of cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel (hereinafter ‗metals‘) the EQS set up in this Annex are
expressed as total concentrations in the whole water sample. In the case of metals the EQS refers to the dissolved
concentration, i.e. the dissolved phase of a water sample obtained by filtration through a 0,45 μm filter or any equivalent
pre-treatment.
Member States may, when assessing the monitoring results against the EQS, take into account:
a. natural background concentrations for metals and their compounds, if they prevent compliance with the EQS value;
and
b. hardness, pH or other water quality parameters that affect the bioavailability of metals.
