21 September 2010, Seattle, WA

Marine Vessel Environmental Performance and Rating System (MVeP)(Voluntary Best Management Practices)

Presented by: Kevin Reynolds, The Glosten Associates

“How Green is Green?” - MVeP Holistic Approach to Marine Vessels

Mission Statement: “Provide a common technical basis for assessing environmental performance, so that marine vessel designers, builders, and operators can understand relative environmental impacts of design decisions and operational practices.”

Objective and Approach - MVeP

Objective: Minimize Marine Vessel Environmental Impact

Approach:• Leverage Existing Best Practices• Team Industry, Environmental Groups, and Regulatory Agencies for

Practical Solutions• Provide Technical Basis for

Evaluation, SNAME Technical & Research Publication

• Recognize Industry Leaders and Exemplary Performance

• Encourage VOLUNTARY Implementation Ahead of Regulation

Development & Implementation – MVeP

Phase I Sponsors: Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, and American Bureau of Shipping.

Phase I Project Team: Glosten Associates with review from SNAME T&R, Herbert Engineering Corporation, and Slater & Zeien.

Phase II Sponsors: Under Development.

Phase II Administration Team: SNAME T&R, Alaris, Seaworthy Systems, Wartsila, University of New Orleans, and The Glosten Associates.

Phase II Technical Partners: Quickly Filling – Goal Complete by December.

Good – Develop, execute, and document a ballast water plan to meet near land limits set by the California Marine Invasive Species Act – Interim Standard

Best – p = V1T1+ V2T2+V3T3+ V4T4

p = Propagule pressure numerical equivalent

V = Volume of Discharge (V1: w/o treatment or exchange V2: exchanged V3: treated to IMO levels V4: treated to California levels)

T = (100, 84, 48, 12)

Zero Impact – No discharge within 200 nm of any coastline

Bridging Technical Development to Implementation (Phase III)

Level 1 – Standard Practice _ Establish Minimum Measures : Regulatory Requirements Plus .

Level 3 – Best Practice_ Define Metric in T&R Bulletin for Performance Based Measures

Level 4 – Zero Impact_ Establish zero impact definition

Phase 2SNAME T &R Bulletin

Phase 3Third Party

Implementation

_ Establish Baseline Methodology_ Develop Implementation Timelines_ Evaluate New vs . Existing Vessel Considerations_ Subdivide Credits for Focused Recognition (i.e., air pollution )

_ Determine Value of Performance vs . Baseline

Level 2 – Good Practice_ Identify prescriptive measures currently working well

_ Determine relative value of prescriptive measures
