1. SCOPE

The aim of the procedures contained in this Manual is to provide a proactive approach to environmental management that includes identification of sources of marine and atmospheric pollution and measures for the reduction of potential impacts onboard and ashore, in relation to sewage, bilge water and refrigerant systems.

The Company is voluntarily committed in continually improving its environmental performance, by identifying, addressing, monitoring and controlling all aspects of its activities with significant environmental impact. This is implemented through the existing Quality, Safety and Environmental System (QSES), and supplemented by the present additional procedures. The purpose of these procedures is to assist the vessel’s Senior Officers in carrying out a full review of the ships’ environmental protection capability, in order to identify potential problems before they impact on the ships’ operation, and ensure that:

Interaction of the shipboard activities with the environment is in accordance with the applicable mandatory rules and regulations and any additional requirements imposed for retaining the ENVIRO notation from the Classification Society. Shipboard emissions to the sea, air and land are controlled, monitored and in accordance with the Company’s policies and objectives. Operational controls and environmental procedures aiming to achieve the environmental objectives and targets set are established, maintained and monitored.

Moreover, this Manual provides the minimum environmental protection requirements related to sewage, bilge water and refrigerant systems which must be complied with at all times. For vessels under ENVIRO Class Notation (ABS)

An Environmental Officer is to be assigned onboard any vessel receiving the ENVIRO Notation. This individual is responsible for the administration of the onboard Environmental program which includes but is not limited to: - Compliance with current IMO environmental regulations - Implementation of relevant procedures associated with ABS “Guide for the Environmental Protection Notation for vessels” and the IMO environmental regulations - Upkeep of relevant logs and records - Training of personnel in relevant environmental practices The Environmental Officer is responsible for carrying out the Garbage Management Plan and also for verifying that all applicable ballast water handling and treatment procedures of the Ballast Water Management Plan are followed and for recording and maintaining the appropriate records.

3. COMPLIANCE WITH MARPOL ANNEX IV – SEWAGE MANAGEMENT

Sewage must be treated and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of MARPOL, Annex IV. The vessel’s sewage discharge equipment and procedures are in full compliance with Annex IV and any applicable National requirements. The purpose of these instructions is to describe the procedures for sewage handling that must be followed. 3.1.

SEWAGE HANDLING

Sewage refers to: -

Drainage and other wastes from any form of toilets and urinals.

Drainage from medical premises via wash basins, wash tubs and scuppers.

Drainage from spaces containing living animals.

Other waste waters when mixed with the drainages defined above.

The vessel is provided with a type approved sewage treatment plant examined and satisfactorily tested in accordance with IMO Resolution MEPC.159(55) to meet the operational requirements referred to in Regulation 9.1.1 of MARPOL Annex IV as modified by IMO Resolution MEPC.115(51). Reference is made to

The discharge of sewage into the sea is prohibited except when the sewage treatment plant is in operation and the effluent does not produce visible floating solids nor cause discoloration of the surrounding water. Master: It is his responsibility to ensure compliance with the criteria defined in Annex IV referring to the discharge of sewage into the sea.

When the sewage is mixed with wastes or waste water having different discharge requirements, the more stringent requirement shall apply. MARPOL Annex IV, Reg. 11 stipulates the provisions for discharge of sewage into the sea. According to some National requirements, the discharge of sewage is not allowed when the vessel is in their port or within their territorial waters. In this case, National and Local regulations shall be followed. To enable pipes of reception to be connected with the vessel’s discharge pipeline, both shall be fitted with a standard discharge connection in accordance with Reg. 11. The following table summarizes the MARPOL requirements concerning discharges of sewage from vessels:

Annex - Revised Guidelines on Implementation of Effluent Standards and Performance Tests for Sewage Treatment Plants Revised Guidelines on Implementation of Effluent Standards and Performance Tests for Sewage Treatment Plants 1 Introduction 1.1. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted resolution MEPC.2(VI) Recommendation on International Effluent Standards and Guidelines for Performance Tests for Sewage Treatment Plants in 1976.

1.2. This document contains the Revised Guidelines on Implementation of Effluent Standards and Performance Tests for Sewage Treatment Plants (Guidelines). These Guidelines are intended to assist Administrations in establishing operational performance testing programmes for sewage treatment plants for the purpose of type approval under regulation 9.1.1 of Annex IV of the Convention. 1.3. These Guidelines apply to sewage treatment plants installed on board on or after 1 January 2010.

2 Definitions

. Annex IV - the revised Annex IV of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) as amended by resolution MEPC.115(51).

. Convention- the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973/1978 (MARPOL 73/78). . Geometric mean - the nth root of the product of n numbers. . Greywater - is drainage from dishwater, shower, laundry, bath and washbasin drains.

. Testing onboard - testing carried out on a sewage treatment plant that has been installed upon a ship. . Testing ashore - testing carried out on a sewage treatment plant prior to installation e.g. in the factory.

. Thermotolerant coliforms - the group of coliform bacteria which produce gas from lactose in 48 hours at 44.5ยบC. These organisms are sometimes referred to as "faecal coliforms"; however, the term "thermotolerant coliforms" is now accepted as more appropriate, since not all of these organisms are of faecal origin. 3 General

3.1. An approved sewage treatment plant must meet the standards in section 4 and the tests outlined in these Guidelines. It should also be noted that, when ships are operating approved sewage treatment plants, Annex IV also provides that the effluent shall not produce visible floating solids or cause discolouration of the surrounding water. 3.2. It is acknowledged that the performance of sewage treatment plants may vary considerably when the system is tested ashore under simulated shipboard conditions or onboard a ship under actual operating conditions. Where testing ashore demonstrates that a system complies with the standards, but subsequent onboard testing does not meet the

standards, the Administration should determine the reason and take it into account when deciding whether to type approve the plant. 3.3. It is recognized that Administrations may wish to modify the specific details outlined in these Guidelines to take account of very large, very small or unique sewage treatment plants. 4 Standards 4.1. For the purpose of regulation 4.1 of Annex IV, a sewage treatment plant should satisfy the following effluent standards when tested for its Certificate of Type Approval by the Administration:

.1. Thermotolerant Coliform Standard

The geometric mean of the thermotolerant coliform count of the samples of effluent taken during the test period should not exceed 100 thermotolerant coliforms/100 ml as determined by membrane filter, multiple tube fermentation or an equivalent analytical procedure. .2. Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Standard

(c). The geometric mean of the total suspended solids content of the samples of effluent taken during the test period shall not exceed 35 mg/l.

(d). Where the sewage treatment plant is tested onboard ship, the maximum total suspended solids content of the samples of effluent taken during the test period may be adjusted to take account of the total suspended solid content of the flushing water. In allowing this adjustment in maximum TSS, Administrations shall ensure sufficient tests of TSS are taken of the flushing water throughout the testing period to establish an accurate geometric mean to be used as the adjustment figure (defined as x). In no cases shall the maximum allowed TSS be greater than 35 plus x mg/l. Method of testing should be by:

.1. filtration of representative sample through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, drying at 105°C and weighing; or .2. centrifuging of a representative sample (for at least five minutes with mean acceleration of 2,800-3,200 g), drying at least 105°C and weighing; or

.3. other internationally accepted equivalent test standard. .3. Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand

Administrations should satisfy themselves that the sewage treatment plant is designed to reduce both soluble and insoluble organic substances to meet the requirement that, the geometric mean of 5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) of the samples of effluent taken during the test period does not exceed 25 mg/l and the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) does not exceed 125 mg/l. The test method standard should be ISO 15705:2002 for COD and ISO 5815-1:2003 for BOD5, or other internationally accepted equivalent test standards. .4. pH The pH of the samples of effluent taken during the test period shall be between 6 and 8.5. .5. Zero or non-detected values

For thermolerant coliforms, zero values should be replaced with a value of 1 thermotolerant coliform/100 ml to allow the calculation of the geometric mean. For total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand, values below the limit of detection should be replaced with one half the limit of detection to allow the calculation of the geometric mean. 4.2. Where the sewage treatment plant has been tested ashore, the initial survey should include installation and commissioning of the sewage treatment plant. 5 Testing Considerations

5.1. Testing of the operational performance of a sewage treatment plant should be conducted in accordance with the following subparagraphs. Unless otherwise noted, the subparagraphs apply to testing both onboard and ashore. 5.2. Raw sewage quality

5.2.1. Sewage treatment plants tested ashore - the influent should be fresh sewage consisting of faecal matter, urine, toilet paper and flush water to which, for testing purposes primary sewage sludge has been added as necessary to attain a minimum total suspended solids concentration appropriate for the number of persons and hydraulic loading for which the sewage treatment plant will be certified. The testing should take into account the type of system (for example vacuum or gravity toilets) and any water or greywater that may be added for flushing to the sewage before treatment. In any case the influent concentration of total suspended solids should be no less than 500 mg/l.

5.2.2. Sewage treatment plants tested onboard - the influent may consist of the sewage generated under normal operational conditions. In any case the average influent concentration of total suspended solids should be no less than 500 mg/l. 5.3. Duration and timing of test

5.3.1. The duration of the test period should be a minimum of 10 days and should be timed to capture normal operational conditions, taking into account the type of system and the number of persons and hydraulic loading for which the sewage treatment plant will be type approved. The test should commence after steady-state conditions have been reached by the sewage treatment plant under test. 5.4. Loading factors

5.4.1. During the test period the sewage treatment plant should be tested under conditions of minimum, average and maximum volumetric loadings. .1. For testing ashore, these loadings will be as laid down in the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specifications. Figure 1 shows suggested timings for sampling each loading factor. .2. For testing onboard, minimum loading will represent that generated by the number of persons on the ship when it is alongside in port, and average and maximum loadings will represent those generated by the number of persons on the ship at sea and will take account of meal times and watch rotations.

5.4.2. The Administration should undertake to assess the capability of the sewage treatment plant to produce an effluent in accordance with the standards prescribed by section 4 following minimum, average and maximum volumetric loadings. The range of conditions under which the effluent standards were met should be recorded on the

Certificate of Type Approval. The form of the Certificate of Type Approval and appendix is set out in the annex to these Guidelines. 5.5. Sampling methods and frequency 5.5.1. Administrations should ensure that the sewage treatment plant is installed in a manner which facilitates the collection of samples. Sampling should be carried out in a manner and at a frequency which is representative of the effluent quality. Figure 1 provides a suggested frequency for sampling, however, the frequency should take account of the residence time of the influent in the sewage treatment plant. A minimum of 40 effluent samples should be collected to allow a statistical analysis of the testing data (e.g. geometric mean, maximum, minimum, variance).

5.5.2. An influent sample should be taken and analyzed for every effluent sample taken and the results recorded to ensure compliance with section 4. If possible, additional influent and effluent samples should be taken to allow for a margin of error. Samples should be appropriately preserved prior to analysis particularly if there is to be a significant delay between collection and analysis or during times of high ambient temperature.

5.5.3. Any disinfectant residual in samples should be neutralized when the sample is collected to prevent unrealistic bacteria kill or chemical oxidation of organic matter by the disinfectant brought about by artificially extended contact times. Chlorine (if used) concentration and pH should be measured prior to neutralization.

Figure 1 Suggested hydraulic loading factors and sampling frequency for testing sewage treatment plants. May be modified as necessary to take account of characteristics of individual sewage treatment plants 5.6. Analytical testing of effluent

5.6.1. The Administration should give consideration to the recording of other parameters in addition to those required (thermotolerant coliforms, total suspended solids, BOD5, COD, pH and residual chlorine) with a view to future technological development. Parameters which might be considered include total solids, volatile solids, settlable solids, volatile

suspended solids, turbidity, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, total coliforms and faecal streptococci. 5.7. Disinfectant residual 5.7.1. The potential adverse environmental effects of many disinfectant residuals and byproducts, such as those associated with the use of chlorine or its compounds, are well recognized. It is, therefore, recommended that Administrations encourage the use of ozone, ultra-violet irradiation or any other disinfectants which minimize adverse environmental effects, whilst pursuing the thermotolerant coliform standard. When chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the Administration should be satisfied that the best technical practice is used to keep the disinfectant residual in the effluent below 0.5 mg/l. 5.8. Scaling considerations

5.8.1. Only full-scale marine sewage treatment plants should be accepted for testing purposes. The Administration may certify a range of the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment sizes employing the same principles and technology, but due consideration must be given to limitations on performance which might arise from scaling up or scaling down. In the case of very large, very small or unique sewage treatment plants, certification may be based on results of prototype tests. Where possible, confirmatory tests should be performed on the final installation of such sewage treatment plants. 5.9. Environmental testing of the sewage treatment plant

5.9.1. The Administration should be satisfied that the sewage treatment plant can operate under conditions of tilt consistent with internationally acceptable shipboard practice.

5.9.2. Tests for certification should be carried out over the range of temperature and salinity specified by the manufacturer, and the Administration should be satisfied that such specifications are adequate for the conditions under which the equipment must operate. 5.9.3. Control and sensor components should be subjected to environmental testing to verify their suitability for marine use. The Test Specifications section in part 3 of the annex to resolution MEPC.107(49) provides guidance in this respect.

5.9.4. Any limitation on the conditions of operation should be recorded on the Certificate. 5.9.5. The Administration should also consider requiring the manufacturer to include in the operating and maintenance manuals, a list of chemicals and materials suitable for use in the operation of the sewage treatment plant.

5.10. Other considerations

5.10.1. The type and model of the sewage treatment plant and the name of the manufacturer should be noted by means of a durable label firmly affixed directly to the sewage treatment plant. This label should include the date of manufacture and any operational or installation limits considered necessary by the manufacturer or the Administration. 5.10.2. Administrations should examine the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installation, operating and maintenance manuals for adequacy and completeness. The ship should have on board at all times a manual detailing the operational and maintenance procedures for the sewage treatment plant. 5.10.3. Qualifications of testing facilities should be carefully examined by the Administration as a prerequisite to their participation in the testing programme. Every attempt should be made to assure uniformity among the various facilities.

6 Renewal and Additional Surveys 6.1. Administrations should endeavour to ensure, when conducting renewal or additional surveys in accordance with regulations 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of Annex IV, that the sewage treatment plant continues to perform in accordance with the conditions outlined in regulation 4.1.1 of Annex IV. 7 Familiarization of Ship Personnel in the Use of the Sewage Treatment Plant

7.1. Recognizing that the appropriate regulations relating to familiarization are contained within the Ships Safety Management Systems under the International Safety Management Code, Administrations are reminded that ship staff training should include familiarization in the operation and maintenance of the sewage treatment plant.

RESOLUTION MEPC.157(55) Adopted on 13 October 2006 RECOMMENDATION ON STANDARDS FOR THE RATE OF DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED SEWAGE FROM SHIPS The Marine Environment Protection Committee, RECALLING Article 38(a) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization concerning the functions of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (the Committee) conferred upon it by international conventions for the prevention and control of marine pollution,

NOTING resolution MEPC.115(51) by which the Committee adopted the revised MARPOL Annex IV, which entered into force on 1 August 2005, NOTING ALSO the provisions of regulation 11.1.1 of MARPOL Annex IV,

RECOGNIZING that untreated sewage that has been stored in holding tanks shall not be discharged instantaneously but that the discharge is to be undertaken at a moderate rate approved by the Administration based upon the standards developed by the Organization,

HAVING CONSIDERED the recommendations made by the Sub-Committee on Bulk Liquids and Gases at its tenth session, 1. ADOPTS the Recommendation on standards for the rate of discharge of untreated sewage from ships, the text of which is set out in the Annex to the present resolution;

2. RECOMMENDS member Governments to accept the rate of discharge based upon the annexed Standards,

3. ENCOURAGES operators of ships that may have high discharge requirements to keep calculations of actual discharges to demonstrate compliance to the Administration and to port or coastal State authorities.

Annex - Recommendation on Standards for the Rate of Discharge of Untreated Sewage from Ships 1 Introduction 1.1 Regulation 11.1.1 of the revised Annex IV of MARPOL 73/78 requires that untreated sewage, which may be discharged at more than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, should not be discharged instantaneously but at a moderate rate of discharge when the ship is en route and proceeding at a speed not less than 4 knots, while the rate should be approved by the Administration based upon standards developed by the Organization. This Recommendation provides the standard and guidance for the approval and calculation of a moderate rate of discharge.

1.2 A moderate rate of discharge applies to the discharge of untreated sewage that has been stored in holding tanks.

2 Definitions

1.3 This standard does not incorporate the dilution of sewage with water or greywater into calculations of the discharge rate. Therefore the rate is a conservative estimate and it is recognised that discharges of sewage in accordance with this standard will present a higher level of protection to the marine environment due to mixing prior to the actual discharge in addition to the mixing action of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wake.

2.1 Swept volume means ship breadth x draft x distance travelled.

2.2 Untreated sewage means sewage that has not been treated by a type approved sewage treatment plant, or that has not been comminuted and disinfected. 3 Discharge Rate

3.1 The maximum permissible discharge rate is 1/200,000 (or one 200,000th part) of swept volume as follows: DRmax = 0.00926 V D B Where: DRmax is maximum permissible discharge rate (m3/h) V is shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average speed (knots) over the period D is Draft (m) B is Breadth (m) 3.2 The maximum permissible discharge rate specified in 3.1 refers to the average rate as calculated over any 24 hour period, or the period of discharge if that is less, and may be exceeded by no more that 20% when measured on an hourly basis.

4 Approval of Rate by Administration 4.1 The Administration should approve the rate of discharge specified in 3.1 based upon the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maximum summer draft and maximum service speed1. Where sewage is to be discharged at a different combination of draft and speed one or more secondary discharge rates may also be approved2. 5 Method of Calculation 5.1 The calculated swept volume of the ship is to be determined for drafts up to and including the summer draft assigned in accordance with Article 3 of International Convention on Load Lines, 1966.

5.2 Where a ship is to discharge sewage from a holding tank using a pump calibrated at a fixed rate, the pump can either be: - calibrated at a the rate permitted at 4 knots; or - calibrated for a specific minimum shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed in excess of 4 knots.

5.3 Where the intended actual discharge rate exceeds that permissible at 4 knots, the actual discharge rate may need to be reduced or the speed increased. The rate and speed is to be detailed in the approval issued by the Administration. 6 Compliance with the Rate

6.1 Before undertaking a sewage discharge in accordance with this standard, the crew member responsible for sewage operations should ensure that the ship is en route, is more than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land and the navigation speed is consistent with the discharge rate that has been approved by the Administration. Ships with high discharge requirements are encouraged to keep notes of calculations of the actual discharges to demonstrate compliance with the approved rate.

The attention of ship operators and personnel is drawn to the reduction in permissible rate of discharge at reduced draft and/or speed. 2 Presentation may be tabular, refer to table below. For ships other than those having a high requirement for untreated sewage discharge, such as passenger ships and livestock carriers, the discharge rate criterion will generally not be exceeded at ship speed of 4 knots.
