MASS LAWSUITMASS LAWSUIT

DEVELOPMENTSDEVELOPMENTS

• In July the District Court Magistrate Judge issued his recommendation to the District Court to grant the U.S. Government's motion for a permanent injunction enjoining the State of Massachusetts from enforcing the tug escort and vessel manning provisions of the states oil spill prevention regulations.

• The State of Massachusetts has objected to this recommendation

• We await the District Court’s decision.

EPA VGPEPA VGP

INTERTANKO CONCERNSINTERTANKO CONCERNS

• Federal Court orders EPA to develop regulations for all ship discharges under NPDES permit system of Clean Water Act

• Judge acknowledges that US Coast Guard has authority under certain laws, but believes that Congress also gave authority to EPA under Clean Water Act

• Ruling has two federal agencies responsible for same subject matter

EPA VGPEPA VGP

DEVELOPMENTSDEVELOPMENTS• VGP requirements have been effective since

February 2009.

• Environmental groups have sued EPA stating that the VGP discharge requirements, in particular those relating to ballast water, are not stringent enough.

• Lake Carriers Association, American Waterways Operators and World Shipping Council have sued EPA requesting the court to vacate the VGP

• Detailed motions must be submitted by October 15

• Expected outcome is that court will maintain in place the existing VGP, while remanding the VGP back to EPA for reconsideration.

CARB Air EmissionCARB Air Emission

INTERTANKO CONCERNSINTERTANKO CONCERNS

• CARB implements unilateral requirements that are not consistent with IMO standards

• Fuel switching to low sulphur fuels could have safety implications

CARB Air EmissionsCARB Air EmissionsDEVELOPMENTSDEVELOPMENTS• June 2009 U.S. District Court denies the Pacific

Merchant Shipping Association's (PMSA) motion to dismiss CARB air emission regulations for ocean-going vessels

• Court also ruled that California has the authority to apply the regulations 24 miles from their coast because they only applied to ships entering Californian ports.

• No further legal action is expected.

• In August San Francisco Harbor Safety Committee meeting discusses engine failures in San Francisco Bay as a result of fuel switching to comply with this CARB regulation. CARB representative at the meeting made it very clear that suspending the CARB regulation is not an option.
