2. INTRODUCTION

2.1.

SCOPE

This Plan has been developed pursuant to the 2011 Guidelines for the Control and Management of Ships’ Biofouling to Minimize the Transfer of Invasive Aquatic Species, Resolution MEPC.207(62), adopted on 15 July 2011, and the US Ballast Water Management Rule, 33 CFR 151.2050(g), adopted on 21 June 2012.

LE

The latest specific requirements of California State and New Zealand have been also taken into account (refer to Appendices VI and VII respectively) when developing this Plan.

The aim of this Plan is to provide effective procedures and practical guidance to the vessel’s master, operator and owner and any other interested parties, on biofouling management measures in order to minimize the risk of transferring invasive aquatic species from ships' biofouling. It is important that these biofouling management procedures be effective as well as environmentally safe, practical and designed to minimize costs and delays to the vessel.

P

The management measures outlined herein are intended to complement current maintenance practices carried out within the Company.

2.2.

M

This Plan is to be available for viewing on request by a Port State Authority and is written in the English language which is the working language of the crew.

GENERAL

A

Studies have shown that biofouling can be a significant factor for the transfer of invasive aquatic species. Biofouling on ships may result in the establishment of invasive aquatic species which may pose threats to human, animal and plant life, economic and cultural activities and the aquatic environment.

S

While the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 (AFS Convention) addresses anti-fouling systems on ships, its focus is on the prevention of adverse impacts from the use of anti-fouling systems and the biocides they may contain, rather than preventing the transfer of invasive aquatic species.

The potential for invasive aquatic species transferred through biofouling to cause harm has been recognized by the IMO, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), several UNEP Regional Seas Conventions (e.g., Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea Against Pollution), the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), and the Secretariat of the Pacific Region Environmental Program (SPREP).

All ships have some degree of biofouling, even those which may have been recently cleaned or had a new application of an anti-fouling coating system. Studies have shown that the biofouling process begins within the first few hours of a ship's immersion in water.

ALPHA MARINE CONSULTING

M/T “VSLNAME” BIOFOULING MANAGEMENT PLAN

PAGE 6 OF 30

The biofouling that may be found on a ship is influenced by a range of factors, such as: .1 .2 .3 .4

design and construction, particularly the number, location & design of niche areas; specific operating profile, including factors such as operating speeds, ratio of time underway compared with time alongside, moored or at anchor, and where the ship is located when not in use (e.g., open anchorage or estuarine port); places visited and trading routes; and maintenance history, including: the type, age and condition of any anti-fouling coating system, installation and operation of anti-fouling systems and drydocking/slipping and hull cleaning practices.

LE

Implementing practices to control and manage biofouling can greatly assist in reducing the risk of the transfer of invasive aquatic species. Such management practices can also improve a ship's hydrodynamic performance and can be effective tools in enhancing energy efficiency and reducing air emissions from ships.

The procedures contained herein are intended to provide useful recommendations to the ship’s crew and Company personnel on general measures to minimize the risks associated with biofouling for this particular ship.

2.3.

M

P

To minimize the transfer of invasive aquatic species, the ship should implement biofouling management practices, including the use of anti-fouling systems and other operational management practices to reduce the development of biofouling. The intent of such practices is to keep the ship's submerged surfaces, and internal seawater cooling systems, as free of biofouling as practical. Following this Plan and minimizing macrofouling would have a reduced potential for transferring invasive aquatic species via biofouling.

9. DISPOSAL OF BIOLOGICAL WASTE

The disposal of biological waste generated by the cleaning process when the cleaning is conducted by or under the direct supervision of the shipowner, Master or crew should be consistent with applicable national and local laws and regulations, so that viable (able to take root and grow / likely to survive) biofouling or chemical and physical pollutants are not released into the local aquatic environment where they may cause harm.

LE

The Master and the crew should make every effort to minimize the release of organisms into the local environment and ensure that adequate measures are adopted when cleaning immersed areas coated with biocidal anti-fouling coatings, so as to prevent the premature depletion of the anti-fouling coating system and the creation of a pulse of biocides that can harm the local environment.

APPENDIX III – DECISION SUPPORT TOOL FOR IN-WATER CLEANING

This Decision Support Tool for in-water cleaning is designed to assist relevant authorities with making decisions about in-water cleaning practices in their jurisdictions. The Decision Support Tool also helps owners or operators of ships and other movable structures to determine the types of information and documentation that relevant authorities may require of them to make decisions on in-water cleaning. Relevant authorities may require additional information for their risk-assessment and decision making processes. Persons who wish to in-water clean ships or movable structures must contact the relevant authority.

(a) (b) (c)

If the type of a coating (e.g. biocidal; biocide-free) cannot be reliably determined, then it should be assumed that the coating contains biocides.

If the age of a coating cannot be reliably determined, then it should be assumed that the coating has reached the end of its service life.

Where the type of biofouling on a ship or structure is unknown, it should be assumed that macrofouling is present.

If the origin of the biofouling on a ship or movable structure is unknown, then it should be assumed that it is of international origin. If the biofouling is likely to be from more than one origin category (e.g. regional and international) then decisions on in-water cleaning should be based on the furthest likely origin (i.e. international).

P

(d)

LE

When information and/or documentation required for making decisions on in-water cleaning is not available, the following default assumptions apply:

M

The Decision Support Tool should be used in conjunction with the following recommendations: Microfouling, regardless of origin, may be removed without the need for full containment of biofouling waste, provided the cleaning method is consistent with the coating manufacturer’s recommendations. Where microfouling is removed using a gentle, nonabrasive cleaning technique, the contamination risk is likely to be acceptable.

2.

Macrofouling of regional origin (as defined by relevant authority) may be removed without the need for full containment of biofouling waste provided the cleaning method is consistent with the coating manufacturer’s recommendations and contaminant discharges meet local water quality standards.

Macrofouling of domestic origin may be removed without the need for full containment of biofouling waste following risk assessment by the relevant authority. If the relevant authority determines containment of biofouling waste is required, then methods should be used to ensure that unacceptable amounts of biological material are not released into the water column. In-water cleaning technologies should aim to, at least, capture debris greater than 50 µm in diameter which will minimise the release of viable adult, juvenile and larval stages of macrofouling organisms. Any cleaning debris collected must be disposed of on land and in compliance with the waste disposal requirements of the relevant authority. In either case, the cleaning method must be consistent with the coating manufacturer’s recommendations and contaminant discharges must meet local water quality standards.

S

3.

A

1.

4.

Macrofouling derived from international locations should only be removed using cleaning methods that are able to minimise the release of all organisms, or parts of organisms, and antifouling coating debris, using the guidance described above. The cleaning method must be consistent with the coating manufacturer’s recommendations and contaminant discharges must meet local water quality standards.

P

LE

APPENDIX IV – TYPES OF ANTI-FOULING COATINGS

Biocidal coatings are coatings that release chemicals such as copper compounds or other pesticides that aim to deter biofouling organisms. There are four general types of biocidal coatings: Soluble matrix, Controlled depletion polymer or Ablative anti-fouling coatings contain a binder that is slightly soluble in seawater. Hydration causes the coating surface to slowly dissolve, releasing the freely associated biocide.

2.

Insoluble matrix, Contact leaching, Longlife or Diffusion anti-fouling coatings use an insoluble binder that contains a high concentration of biocide that is released from the coating through a diffusion process.

3.

Self-polishing copolymer anti-fouling coatings release biocides as a result of hydrolysis causing the coating to “erode” when a vessel is moving.

4.

Metallic anti-fouling coatings use copper or copper nickel alloy as either metal sheathing or metal particles mixed into a coating.

P

LE

1.

Biocide-free coatings are coatings that do not depend on chemicals or pesticides for their anti-fouling properties, instead relying on their physical nature. They are further split into two sub-categories: Fouling release coatings rely on non-stick, low surface energy compounds such as silicone or fluoropolymers to impair the adhesive attachment of biofouling.

6.

Mechanically resistant coatings (epoxy, ceramic/epoxy, and epoxy/glass) are tough and highly durable coatings. They do not have any anti-fouling properties. They allow biofouling organisms to accumulate and are designed to withstand regular in-water cleaning (including abrasive methods).

S

A

M

5.

APPENDIX V – INFORMATION ON CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN-WATER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY

The most commonly available in-water cleaning technologies are currently brushing/scraping, use of soft cleaning tools, and water or air jet systems. These methods vary in their effectiveness in removing and containing biofouling organisms, and in their suitability for use on different anti-fouling coating types. Brief descriptions of their use and limitations are provided below: Brush systems - Brushes are a widely used method for in-water hull cleaning because of their ability to remove surface deposits and low levels of biofouling from biocidal coatings. They can have a rejuvenating effect on the performance of some coating types. Existing brush systems are not able to remove all biofouling from a surface or contain all of the removed material. The use of abrasive brushes can also result in the exacerbated release of biocidal coating material. Use of brushes on fouling-release coatings can damage the coating surface and is not recommended unless the brushes are sufficiently soft and will not harm the integrity of the coating.

Advice should be sought from the coating manufacturer or supplier prior to using any brush system on an anti-fouling coating.

•

Soft tools - Fouling release coatings prevent firm attachment of biofouling organisms.

Soft cleaning tools, such as cloths, squeegees and wiping tools can be used to remove micro and macrofouling effectively from surfaces coated in fouling release coatings without harming the integrity of the coating. These coatings are delicate and scratching of the surface should be avoided. If cloths are used for cleaning, it is necessary to ensure that no shell fragments or other hard objects are trapped beneath the cloths that could scratch and damage the coatings.

•

Water jet and air jet (blast) systems - Water and air jet cleaning systems are versatile tools because their operating pressure (and jet pattern) can be varied according to coating type and biofouling extent. The effects of water jet technology on biocidal coatings are not fully understood. Currently available water jet systems are not able to contain all of the removed biofouling or coating material. Water pressures should be used that do not harm the integrity of the anti-fouling coating.

S

A

M

P

LE

•

Other technologies:

•

Technologies that kill, but not necessarily remove biofouling - Several types of biofouling treatment are available that kill biofouling organisms but do not actively remove them from a surface. These include the use of heat (in the form of steam or heated water) or enveloping technologies (wrapping of a vessel or movable structure in plastic sheets or canvas sleeves to suffocate biofouling). These are generally developing technologies and their effectiveness and effects on anti-fouling coatings have not been evaluated.

•

Developing technologies - A number of technologies that collect biofouling and coating material are under development.

(a)

(b)

9.

Any activities, including in-water inspection, in-water cleaning, in-water treatment, or outof-water maintenance, to manage biofouling on the wetted surfaces of the vessel, except those niche areas listed in section 3.1, that accumulates as a result of the extended residency period shall be documented in the Biofouling Record Book.

Propeller Cleaning in California Waters

Propeller cleaning in California waters is not prohibited.

10. Emergency Exemptions A vessel will be exempt from the requirements contained within Article 4.8 if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (a)

The vessel makes an unscheduled arrival to a California port because of an emergency, where the safety of the vessel or crew is compromised; Arrival for the sole purpose of scheduled bunkering is not an emergency under this clause; The master, owner, operator, agent, or person in charge of the vessel notifies the Division Chief, in written or electronic form, of the emergency, and provides details on the nature of the emergency, no later than twenty-four hours after the arrival and cessation of the emergency;

(c)

The vessel has not arrived to another California port since the most recent of the:

LE

(b)

(1) Previous out-of-water maintenance; (2) Vessel’s delivery into service; or

(3) Date when the vessel owner commenced ownership of the vessel

The vessel will remain in California waters for 21 days or less.

If the vessel remains in California waters for greater than 21 days, the Division Chief may require the master, owner, operator, or person in charge of a vessel to clean or treat the vessel to remove or inactivate macrofouling, using available in-water cleaning technologies, in-water treatment technologies, or out-of-water maintenance. The Division Chief will consider the biofouling extent, vessel port residency duration, and available in-water cleaning or treatment options when making this determination.

APPENDIX VII – SPECIFIC NEW ZEALAND REQUIREMENTS This Appendix contains the additional requirements related to Biofouling Management on Vessels arriving to New Zealand according to the “Craft Risk Management Standard (CRMS)”.

1.

Application

The provisions described in this Appendix apply to vessels arriving at New Zealand. The Craft Risk Management Standard (requirements provided in current Appendix) become effective from 15 May 2018.

Requirements

P

CRMP:

M

Operators of any vessel, arrives at a Port in New Zealand Territory (NZT), should take all reasonable and practicable steps to make sure the vessel has a “clean hull”.

To achieve the clean hull requirement, all vessels and marine-going craft must be treated, cleaned, or have a Record of ongoing Biofouling Maintenance, prior to arrival in NZT.

A

Even when no specific offshore cleaning or treatment activities are carried out, all vessels must be compliant with the CRMS and arrive into NZT free of biofouling.

To comply with the requirements, operators must carry evidence that hull maintenance has been done, such as antifouling system details, diver reports and photos from inspections and cleaning, or evidence of a full hull clean (among others).

S

For areas not easily seen or accessible during inspections, such as internal areas of sea chests and pipework, actions taken for biofouling management should be properly kept.

Such actions may include: a) The operation of Marine Growth Prevention Systems (MGPSs), b) The chemical dosing, and c) Inspection of strainers.

Where a complete inspection of all submerged areas of the vessel is difficult, the vessel may need to be dry docked or managed using an MPI-approved treatment to ensure that the requirements are met.

Vessels coming to work permanently within NZT should consider carrying out specific cleaning and/or treatment activities in dry dock before departing.

If requirements are not met and risk management is required, MPI will determine if a suitable treatment can be carried out within NZT, or if other actions are required. There are limited

options for dry docking and cleaning for commercial vessels within NZT so if the vessel does not comply with the biofouling standard on arrival, it may be directed to leave NZT and required to be cleaned elsewhere.

4.

Actions to be carried out prior vessel’s departure for New Zealand

MPI requires the operator of any vessel arriving in NZT to send the pre-arrival information to MPI at least 48 hours prior to entry, including submitting information on what has been done to manage biofouling prior to arrival (as described in next section).

Actions to be carried out on route to NZT

P

5.

LE

The three below management options are provided by MPI to vessels’ operators in order the compliance with the relevant requirements to be achieved and enabling operators to tailor a solution that suits their vessel type, provided that the approach achieves a “clean hull”: a) Cleaning the hull within 30 days prior to arriving in NZT and providing MPI with documentation of that clean; or b) Conducting continual hull maintenance using best practice principles, such as IMO biofouling guidelines, and providing MPI with documentation of that management; or c) Conducting hull treatment using an MPI-approved provider within 24 hours of arriving into NZT and providing MPI with documentation of the scheduled treatment.

M

The operator must submit the following forms to MPI at least 48 hours prior to vessel’s entry into NZT: a) Advanced Notice of Arrival. b) Biofouling and Ballast Water Declaration. c) Master’s Declaration. d) Verifiable evidence that one of the three management options to meet the biofouling standard have been done.

S

A

These forms include information such as:  Details about the vessel’s antifouling coating (AFC), such as date of last renewal, certificate of treatment and service life.  Intended length of stay within NZT and the places the vessel intends to visit.  Whether a Biofouling Management Plan (BFMP) and Biofouling Record Book (BFRB) (or any other forms of records) are kept.  Whether the vessel has spent extensive time idle or extended periods mainly stationary in a single location.

6.

Record keeping

Record keeping is the key step in showing MPI that the vessel is not high risk. Acceptable evidences:  Antifouling Certificate, including information on AFC application date, type of antifouling applied and if it is applied to niche areas.  Reports from a recent hull and niche area inspection, with photos and/or video footage.  Reports from the most recent cleaning of the hull and niche areas, with photos and/or video footage.  Records of contingency planning if a vessel falls out of its operational profile.  Ship-specific Biofouling Management Plan (BFMP) and Biofouling Record Book (BFRB).

7.

Upon arrival to PoFA

Upon arrival, all information provided to MPI will be verified. The risk profile of the vessel, and the quality of the documentation carried on board will determine what further actions are required, if any. Verification will take place through conversations with the operator of the vessel and by conducting verification inspections.

This can include checking that the information provided in the Advance Notice of Arrival, and the Master's Declaration is correct, inspecting records of biofouling management, asking to inspect sea strainers and MGPSs, and studying the vessel's voyage history.

8.

Becoming a long-stay vessel

LE

Verification ranges from confirming information requirements (e.g. antifouling certificate, biofouling management plan) to a physical inspection of the vessel’s hull.

Where an operator or person in charge of vessel wishes to extend the vessel's stay past 20 days or visit places that are not PoFAs, they must contact MPI as soon as possible and make arrangements to meet the requirements of long-stay vessels. The biofouling thresholds for long-stay vessels, or vessels that wish to visit places not approved as PoFAs are stricter.

9.

P

A vessel which changes its itinerary and falls into the long-stay category must meet these stricter requirements.

Craft Risk Management Plan

A

M

In case that the biofouling requirements have not been met via the below options, the vessel’s operator can develop a Craft Risk Management Plan (CRMP) where the actions on how the risk will be managed must be outlined:  best practices and/or developing a BFMP,  cleaning prior to arrival, or  using an approved treatment.

The CRMP may be submitted to MPI for approval.

Failure to meet biosecurity requirements or non-compliance

S

10.

The vessel’s operator is responsible for ensuring that vessel arriving into NZT meet the requirements of the biofouling standard. If the requirements are not met, biosecurity compliance will not be given and the vessel will be directed for further action under the Act. Any vessel that can be managed by approved local treatment providers or haul out facilities may be directed for treatment (clean in-water or hauled out for cleaning). Any vessel that cannot be treated by approved treatment providers may be directed out of NZT for treatment before being allowed to come back into NZT. Any biofouling management or costs due to delays for non-compliant vessels will be at the vessel owner’s or operator’s expense.

11.

Random compliance inspections and audits

Any arriving vessel may be subject to random compliance inspections to verify compliance with the requirements of the biofouling standard. This is in addition to risk-based verification inspections. It is likely that random compliance inspections will generally be more intensive than risk-based verification.

Where a vessel has been selected for a compliance inspection, MPI will liaise with the agent, operator or person in charge of the vessel to ensure that any delays are minimised.

Meeting of biofouling requirements of New Zealand



Prior departing, it must be ensured that the section(s) of the biofouling standard related to the vessel’s intended length of stay in NZT having been identified.



Identification of which measure will be used onboard the vessel in order the biofouling standard (for example, best practice maintenance of your vessel’s hull, clean before arrival, or MPI-approved treatment) to be complied.



Ensuring that verifiable evidence, that one of the three measures to meet the biofouling standards has been done, exists onboard the vessel.



If the vessel has been stationary or idle for any extended period of time, operator must check if any additional cleaning is required in order the biofouling standards to be complied. This will significantly reduce arrival delays and costs.



MPI should be contacted before departing for NZT. MPI assistance prior to departure can help in minimizing delays and costs on arrival.



The Advance Notice of Arrival and Master's Declaration Forms should be properly filled in and submitted to MPI at least 48 hours prior to entry into NZT. Relevant evidences of compliance with the biofouling standard should be also submitted.



Ensuring that the port of arrival is an approved Place of First Arrival (PoFA) that can receive your type of vessel and any associated cargo or risk goods on-board that you wish to discharge.



Any entry or arrival directions given by MPI must be followed.



No in-water cleaning of vessels hull should be carried out in the NZT, unless authorised

by MPI or using an MPI-approved treatment provider.
