EP Rules why and what?Why:

Increasing environmental awareness IMO response to specific environmental issues Commercial concerns ISM environmental policy requirements Public accountability of operations through environmental

audits eg : ISO 14001.

What are they: Independently derived environmental standards, whose

effective implementation is verified by means of survey and audit processes.

An environmental benchmark - for what could reasonably be expected from environmentally conscious ship owner.

Goes beyond ISM and MARPOL

IMO Guidelines on Ship RecyclingPromulgated in IMO Res A.962(23)

Ship Design Minimize use of hazardous materials Design for Recycling

Through life-inventory of potentially hazardous materials: Green Passport Hazardous materials in ship’s structure and

equipment Operationally generated wastes Stores

Preparation for scrapping Selection of ‘approved’ recycling facilities. Preparation for recycling.

Green Passport – What is it??A document that complies with IMO Res A962(23) para 5.

Consists of: basic details pertaining to the ship, and an inventory of hazardous materials.

But!

What materials should be in the Green Passport?

How much detail is required?

How is it produced?

Who will approve it?

The Green Passport

Statement of Fact that LR have verified contents to be in accordance with the provisions of the IMO guidelines.

Harmonised with other statutory/class certificates.

Through Life Benefits•Provision of structured System to Properly Control hazardous Materials at new build & through life

•Promotes better hazard management & long term liability planning.

•Proper certification and reporting ability to manage liability for hazardous materials

•By identifying hazards, enhances onboard safety.

•Awareness to changing price structure re: end of life asset.

•Promotes better environmental awareness & planning.

•Enhanced reputation

•ISO 14001 – measurable and achievable objectives.

Key Points

The Green Passport:

•Is not difficult to compile; it records hazards rather than prohibits them.

•Approval is a simple extension of surveyors normal duties.

•Issued at new building is inherently more accurate than that issued for an existing ship.

•Is designed to aid scrapping & help protect workers and the environment with significant through life benefits:
