3- Rhine Vessel Inspection RegulationsOn October 7th, 2018, the CCNR published the Rhine Vessel Inspection RegulationsRevised 07.10.2018. The number of the administrative instructions – available inFrench, German and Dutch - (‘DIENSTINSTRUCTIES’) has been reduced to three:

- N° 16 Emissie van schadelijke gassen en luchtverontreinigende deeltjes –Testprocedure,

- N° 19 Vervangingsmotoren , and

- N°23 Indeling van het gebruiksdoel van de motor naar de typegoedkeuring enbijzondere gebruiksdoelen van de motor (gebruik van de motor)

The Police Regulations (RP) have also been revised.

See: https://www.ccr-zkr.org/13020500-fr.html#05

4- Inland Navigation Vessel CertificatesThere is only one certificate type in ESTRIN - the Inland Navigation Vessel Certificate.The model can be found in Part 1/Annex 3 of European Standard Annexes of ESTRIN(page 275). Instructions for completion of this Inland Navigation Vessel Certificates arein ESI-I-1 (page 399).

According to ES-TRIN terminology an “Inland Navigation Vessel Certificate” is:

- ED/2016/1629: a ‘UNION CERTIFICATE for Inland Navigation Vessels (the designationis no longer ‘Community Certificate’ as previously in ED/2016/87);

- Rhine Vessel Inspection Regulations (‘Rhine Rules’): a ‘RHINE Vessel INSPECTIONCERTIFICATE’.

5- FM200 (or Heptafluoropropane or HFC-227ea)Source: document CESNI/PT(18)64 of 11.09.2018

Hereafter is a summary of the impact of Regulation (EU) 517/2014 on the use ofpermanently installed firefighting systems - HFC-227ea.

EU Regulation 517/2014 came into force in 2015, and is applicable to inland waterwayships. The objective of this Regulation is to protect the environment by reducingemissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Article 2(1) of this Regulation defines the products which are considered as fluorinatedgreenhouse gases, and a full list of these products is given in Annex I where HFC227eais mentioned.

In Article 11 of this Regulation the placing on the market of certain products andequipment is restricted. Annex III of the Regulation gives a list of products to whichthese restrictions are applicable. Fire protection equipment is one of the products listedin Annex III.

In Article 13.05(1) of ES-TRIN 2017/1 the requirements for permanently installed fire-fighting systems are given. One of the extinguishing agents listed is HFC 227ea.

As the (EU) Regulation 517/2014 is applicable on inland waterway ships, the



requirements of Article 13.05(1) seem to be contradictory with respect to the use of HFC227ea in the future.

Annex III of regulation (EU) 517/2014 prohibits PFCs and HFC-23 as extinguishingagents in fire protection equipment but does not target the HFC-227ea; HFC-227eamay therefore continue to be used in firefighting systems.

Nevertheless, HFCs as a whole are subject to a scheme to reduce quantities brought tomarket in the EU (article 15 of the Regulation). The maximum quantity of HFCs placedon the market will be reduced by 20% between 2015 and 2030. Consequently it isprobable that the availability of HFC 227ea will gradually decrease and that it willbecome more expensive over the next few years.

In conclusion, there is no contradiction between Regulation (EU) 517/2014 and therequirements of Article 13.05(1) of the ES-TRIN with regard to the future use of HFC227ea.

6-Emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants frominternal combustion engines / diesel engines Since October 7th, 2018, two similar regulations covering the emission of gaseous andparticulate pollutants have been in force - Chapter 9 of ES-TRIN and Chapter 8a (or8bis, in the French version) of the Rhine Rules.

It is good to clarify this situation.

In the case of a UNION CERTIFICATE for Inland Navigation Vessels:

ED/2016/1629_M1 is applicable.

Thus inland navigation vessels have to be in compliance with Chapter 9 (emission ofgaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines) of ES-TRIN.

In the case of a RHINE Vessel INSPECTION CERTIFICATE:

The "Règlement de Visite des Bateaux du Rhin (RVBR) - Version 07.10.2018" (RhineRules) is applicable, so that inland vessels have to be in compliance with ES-TRIN andin particular with Chapter 9 of ES-TRIN.

In the Rhine Rules there is also a specific Chapter 8bis (emission of gaseous andparticulate pollutants from diesel engines).


This doesn't mean that the inland vessel with a Rhine Vessel Inspection Certificate hasto be in compliance with both Chapter 9 of ES-TRIN and Chapter 8bis of the RhineRules.

Indeed, in Article 8bis.02 it is indicated that:

• If the engine complies with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, Chapter8bis of the Rhine Rules does not apply.

• If the engine complies with the requirements of Chapter 8bis of the Rhine Rules,Chapter 9 of ES-TRIN does not apply.

According to footnote 1, Chapter 8bis will remain in force until 1 January 2020, the dateon which the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 in respect of inland navigationvessels will apply.

7- Amendments to ADN 2017The following documents contain all the proposed amendments to ADN 2017 for entryinto force on 1 January 2019 (as ADN2019):

ECE/ADN/45, ECE/ADN/45/Corr.1, and ECE/ADN/45/Add.1

For more details, go to:

https://www.unece.org/trans/danger/publi/adn/adn2017_amend.html

Even if ADN2019 is in force on January 1st, 2019, the substances and articles of ADNmay be carried over until 30 June 2019 in accordance with the requirements of ADNapplicable up to 31 December 2018.

9- ADN: Membrane tanksThe ADN Administrative Committee issuedderogation N° 2/2015 dated August 28th,2015 covering the use of membrane tanks.

Now a proposal to amend the ADN ruleswith a view to introducing membrane tanksas an allowable ADN tank type is beingexamined by a Working Group of the ADNSafety Committee. Bureau Veritas ismember of this small Working Group, whichmet for the third time in October.

Presently, the use of membrane tanktechnology is not allowed by the ADN except in the form of a ‘derogation’, but it isthought that the ADN rules could include (in the 2021 version, at the earliest) thepossibility to use membrane tanks.

10- FRANCE : « Arrêté du 2 octobre 2018 relatif au classement des zones de navigation desbateaux de commerce, des bateaux de plaisance et engins flottants et auxcompléments ou allégements des prescriptions techniques applicables surcertaines de ces zones de navigation »

Source : https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jo_pdf.do?id=JORFTEXT000037469594

On October 2, 2018, France published a Decree on the classification of navigation zones forcommercial vessels, pleasure boats and floating equipment. This decree also contains theadditional technical requirements applicable to vessels navigating in Zone 1 and Zone 2 aswell as the reduction of the technical requirements applicable in Zone 4.

This Decree has been published only in French.

L'arrêté ministériel du 2 octobre 2018 relatif aux zones de navigation des bateauxfluviaux est entré en vigueur le 7 octobre 2018.


En conséquence, la décision n° 55 du sous-secrétaire d’Etat de la marine marchandedu 19 mars 1957 réglementant la navigation des bateaux entre la limite transversalede la mer en Seine et le port de Honfleur est abrogée.

Les arrêtés ministériels suivants sont également abrogés mais restent valides jusqu'àl'échéance des autorisations de navigation délivrées avant l'entrée en vigueur del'arrêté:

- l’arrêté du 15 décembre 2014 relatif à la navigation de bateaux porte-conteneursfluviaux en mer pour la desserte de Port 2000 et des quais de Seine à Honfleur ;

- l’arrêté du 30 mars 2015 relatif à la navigation en mer de bateaux fluviaux à passagerspour la desserte des bassins de Saint-Nazaire du grand port maritime de Nantes -Saint-Nazaire ;

- l’arrêté du 28 juillet 2016 relatif à la navigation en mer de bateaux-citernes fluviauxpour la desserte de Port 2000 aux fins de l’avitaillement et des services aux navires.

Les deux textes de niveau préfectoral suivants, et dont les dispositions ont étéintégrées à l’arrêté du 2 octobre 2018, devront être abrogés selon la même logique :

- décision n°766/2004 du directeur régional des affaires maritimes de Haute-Normandie qui permet la navigation des bateaux de passagers dans l’estuaire de laSeine jusqu’à Honfleur ;

- arrêté n°25 du 2 mars 2009 portant règlementation de l'accès des bateaux fluviaux àl'intérieur des limites administratives du grand port maritime de Marseille

La navigation des bateaux à l'aval de la limite transversale de la mer sera désormaisencadrée par un certificat de l'Union supplémentaire "zone 1", délivré par les servicesinstructeurs de la sécurité fluviale compétents selon la zone considérée (DRIEA Ile-de-France pour l'estuaire de la Seine, DDTM de Loire Atlantique pour l'estuaire de la Loire,DDT de Haute Garonne pour la Gironde, DDT du Rhône pour le golfe de Fos sur Mer).

L'arrêté reprend les dispositions de l'arrêté de 2010 concernant la navigation sur leszones 2, 3, 4 et R, tout en renvoyant vers les règles techniques établies par le standardES-TRIN, et non plus vers l'arrêté du 30 décembre 2008, qui va très prochainement êtreabrogé.
