INTERTANKO – Committed to meeting the POSEIDON CHALLENGE !
MISSION• To provide leadership to the Tanker Industry in serving the
world with safe, environmentally sound and efficient seaborne transportation of oil, gas and chemical products.
VISION FOR THE TANKER INDUSTRY• A responsible, sustainable, respected Tanker Industry,
committed to continuous improvement and constructively influencing its future.
THE POSEIDON CHALLENGE COMMITTMENT- to continuous improvement- to working with all partners- striving to achieve the goals of:
Zero fatalities, Zero pollution, Zero detentions

“Proud of our Tankers, Proud of our People”
Leading by example in safety and environmental
managementDelivering oil, oil products and
chemicals to fuel the world’s industries, trade and development
• More than USD 500 billion invested since 2000 with the result that >85% of tanker fleet double hulled in 2010
• Accidental oil spills at record lows
• More efficient ships and engines means cost effective and energy-efficient transportation
• One litre of fuel used to move one tonne of oil on a VLCC more than 2,500 kilometres.

MARPOL Annex VI
• Adopted September 1997
• Entered in to Force May 2005 (US, Canada and others not yet parties)
• Revision initiated at MEPC July 2005
• SECAs from May 2006
• Target date for adoption of Revision 2008
• Applies to ca. 60,000 ships (today)

Revision of Annex VI
PROPOSALS FOR AMENDMENTS
- Lower limits for SOx & NOx emissions- SECAs with lower S cap (1.0% or 0.5%)- NOx emission limitation on existing engines- NECAs – NOx controlled areas- Restrict Particulate Matters (PM) emissions
- Further restrictions on VOC emissions from cargo oil tanks
- Assessment of impact on CO2 emissions
Wide support for solutions to be found at IMO

AIR EMISSIONS
IMO ANNEX VI REVISION TIMETABLE TO DATE

Developments elsewhere
• California introduces state requirements• US considers ratification of Annex VI• Draft bill introduced in to US Senate for US
waters plus• Canada mulls own requirements• SECA proposals under discussion for US coasts,
Mediterranean, …• EU bides times on revision of Sulphur Directive• Ports under pressure to act unilaterally
IMO has to deliver

The choices !
Solution1. HFO with abatement technologies
2. Cleaner fuels – LSFO or Distillate
Application
1. Globally
2. Locally/regionally

Exhaust Gas Scrubber Development
1. Seawater scrubbers2. Freshwater scrubbers
• Trials underway• Application to existing ships complex• Other outstanding issues include:
- availability- costs - handling of waste streams and products (including acceptability in restricted waters & ports, human health, etc.)- compatibility with catalytic reducers
• A further burden for the crew !

SECAs, Mini-SECAs, NECAs, Regional Zones ?
Potential for complications and confusion
Sulphur Emission Control Areas, the Baltic and the North Sea
Real potential for different: • Regional requirements ?• Implementation dates ?• Multi-fuels (LSFO, Distillate, Gas Oil) ? • Sulphur levels ?
May 2006
IMO: Nov 2007EU: Aug 2007
• A burden for the operator• A further burden for the crew !
![Page 13: Greek Shipping Summit 2007 Athens 8 November 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d9027e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Emissions Trading– an option for ALL emissions ?
Emissions Trading• Issues:
- where, with whom ?
- carbon only or all emissions ?
- measurement, monitoring, verification requirements
• A burden for the operator
• A further burden for the crew !
![Page 14: Greek Shipping Summit 2007 Athens 8 November 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d9027e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The INTERTANKO proposal
• All ships to burn only distillate fuels, with a global sulphur content cap:
o Tier I - a maximum sulphur content of 1.0%, ando Tier II - for new engines - a maximum [0.5%] sulphur
content
• i.e. one Global Sulphur Emission Control Area
• One Single Fuel specification included in Annex VI
• Simplified checking and monitoring provisions

Distillates – The Benefits
• Applies to existing ships/engines, as well as new
• With no other measure, immediately reduces:- SOx emissions by 80 to 90 %- PM emissions by 90 %- NOx emissions by 10 to 15 %
• Facilitates further NOx reductions by in-engine modifications (for IMO’s Tier II & III)
• Facilitates further improvements in energy efficiency (and GHG reductions)
• Improves engine reliability
• Reduces onboard fuel generated waste
Cleaner, Simpler and more Efficient

Distillates – The Benefits
• Reduces onboard plant and maintenance
• Provides safer working environment for ships’ staff and shore side workers
• Avoids carriage of multi-fuels and fuel blending/switching problems
• Reduces control and monitoring requirements
• Lessens harmful impact of bunker spills
• Lowers burden for crew

The CO2 Equation
CARBON NEGATIVE
• SOx deposits in Ocean due to Buffering effects
• Energy required to run scrubbers
• Sulphur deposits to Ocean in scrubber waste water due to Buffering
• Energy required to produce LSFO/Distillates
CARBON POSITIVE
Burning Distillate vs HFO
• Low sulphur – little or no buffering
• Higher calorific value
• No pre-treatment required for fuels
• No post-treatment required of fuel wastes
![Page 18: Greek Shipping Summit 2007 Athens 8 November 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812bce550346895d9027e3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Distillate Proposal Accepted by most as being THE ideal solution, but
Issues:
Availability of MDO: 2012, 2015, 2020, or later still ? (But will HFO be available in 2020?)
Price: • Oil company investment for distillate globally US$126 bn. - future fuel price for distillate 1/3 rd more than HFO ?or• Investment in scrubbers: 60,000 ships x (say) US$3m per ship =
US$180 bn.or• Low Sulphur Fuel Oil globally at the same price as distillate
Holistic approach:At least carbon neutral, probably carbon positive, i.e. net beneficial effect
Leave open options for other solutions ?But will the shipowner have ANY option ?

Driving for Cleaner Air !!!
• Societal pressures for improvements in fuel quality
• EU and California set the pace
• Calls for international standards
• Refiners cite $bn investments needed and negative CO2 implications – “all too difficult”
• Refiners claim time frames impossible and propose local solutions / other options - “prices will rise”
• Industry holds line for cleaner fuel
• Clean fuels mandated / cleaner air results

Decision Time !
• IMO Group of Experts reports December 2007• BLG meets February 2008• MEPC 57 meets April 2008• MEPC 58 meets October 2008
• ? 2008/2009 ?
EU/US consider own legislation if IMO does not deliver, others follow ?

The Distillate Solution
The distillate solution addresses the root cause of air pollution
from ships.
Cleaner fuel for cleaner air !
