Working on a broad scale– Expect need for more than one solution

Best solution for a vessel depends on:– Age– Size– Trading pattern– Design specifics

Other issues:– Extent– Impact– Uncertainty

Hard hitting regulation

Industry game changer

10

Poor enforcement

EC study – 1/1000 inspection rate– Fines inadequate

WWL: ‘approx.’ 1 sulphur inspection

Bunker theory / practice mismatch

Rumours– Some buy no LS HFO– BDN’s with blank % S ?

As regulatory cost increases enforcement more than regulation alone drives compliance– Enforcement is prime driver of compliance

Weak enforcement & high costs creates temptations– Bad behaviour rewarded, good punished– Inverted regulatory dynamic

Negative for environment & health

Difficult for compliance solution providers

A level playing field?

Detection Technology– Vessels underway– Legal standing

Jurisdiction– Territorial waters– ‘Compound infractions’

Much work to do regarding enforcement on the high seas

An Aframax tanker can save USD 120-150,000 on a voyagefrom the Atlantic to Primorskand back again by burningHFO instead of MGO.

50 mill. tons of oilout of Primorsk + 25 mill tons out of Ust Luga annually.

Distance sailed withinthe ECA: ~3300 NM

Legal uncertainty

• Can a coastal state issue fines for non-compliance committed outsideits waters of jurisdiction?

• EU Sulphur Directive states: Sanctions must be: • Effective• Proportionate• Dissuasive

• If applied to the last 12 NM, but not the first 800 NM, it may still begood business to be non-compliant.

Why Comply?

So why comply?

It’s the law and it’s not optional!

Doing the right thing, even if no one is watching

Contractual requirement

Vessel financing

The ‘tricks of the trade’ - how to cheat

• Many scenarios – explore two:

• Feign ignorance

• False BDN, false allocation tanks

06-11-2014Maersk Maritime Technology Slide no. 22

How to cheat?

• Ignorance: ”Never heard about these new rules!”

• Pro:• In a low enforcement regime, this could go on for years.• If caught, the penalty woudl probably be lower than in case of deliberate non-

compliance.

• Con:• If will only work the first time you are caught.• PSC could check the ECA history of the ship and issue penalties for previous

non-compliant trips in the ECA.

06-11-2014Maersk Maritime Technology Slide no. 23

How to cheat?• False Bunker Delivery Notes

• BDNs state: 3500 t HFO and 1500 t MGO

• Reality: 4800 t HFO and 200 t MGO

• False tank allocation • 3500 t HFO in dedicated HFO tanks

• 1300 t HFO in MGO tank (former LSFO tank)

• 200 t MGO in MGO tank

• Oil Record Book • Recording fuel consumption from MGO tank when inside ECA

• Shift to ”real” MGO upon entering port

• When you need a stamp or seal you need it now, not next week. That’s why Walker Companies specializes in delivering customized stamps overnight and… creating corporate seals while you wait.

How to cheat?

• Tank conversions

Summary

• Generally poor enforcement efforts to date • How will jurisdictional issues be resolved?• S Regulation has unprecedented cost, impact• Most will comply, but a temptation exists• Weak enforcement – bad for new fuels• Trident Alliance: fair competition objective,
