1 January 2023 MARPOL carbon
intensity measures including CII
On or before 1 January 2023, the Ship Energy Efficiency
Management Plan (SEEMP) shall include methodology for calculating the ship's
attained annual operational CII and the required annual operational CII.
Operational CII - After the end of calendar year 2023 and
after the end of each following calendar year, each ship of 5,000 gross tonnage
and above, shall calculate the attained annual operational CII over a 12-month
period from 1 January to 31 December for the preceding calendar year.The
Attained annual operational CII shall be documented and verified against the
required annual operational CII to determine operational carbon intensity
rating A, B, C, D or E, indicating a major superior, minor superior, moderate,
minor inferior, or inferior performance level, either by the Administration or
by any organization duly authorized by it.
A ship rated D for 3 consecutive years or rated as E shall
develop a plan of corrective actions to achieve the required annual operational
CII.
1 November 2023 MARPOL Annex II
Adopted by MEPC 78:
MARPOL Annex II, updating the abbreviated legend to the
revised GESAMP Hazard Evaluation Procedure.
GESAMP [Joint Group of
Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection]
This edition of the GESAMP Hazard Evaluation Procedure
provides an updated set of criteria for evaluating the hazards of chemicals
(substances and mixtures) that may enter the marine environment through
operational discharge, accidental spillage, or loss overboard from ships.
Hazards to both human health and the marine environment are considered and the
information is collated in the form of a “hazard profile”, a comprehensive but
easily readable fingerprint of the hazard characteristics of each substance.
The hazard profiles of substances carried by ships that have been prepared by
the Evaluation of the Hazards of Harmful Substances Carried by Ships (EHS)
Working Group of GESAMP are published at regular intervals and a “GESAMP/EHS
Composite list of hazard profiles” is available from the International Maritime
Organization (IMO) at:
This document has been developed to provide a description of
the basis by which chemicals are evaluated and GESAMP hazard profiles assigned
(“methodology”) to inform a range of audiences including:
• maritime
administrations;
• companies shipping bulk liquids;
• producers of bulk chemicals;
• those required to submit data under regulative processes
for bulk liquid shipments;
• first responders to maritime emergenices;
• responders to
marine spills; and
• those with a
general interest in hazard evaluation of chemical substances.
The purpose of this new edition is not to replace the
revised GESAMP hazard evaluation procedure, but to update it with as little
disruption to the user as possible, only introducing changes where necessary,
in particular to ensure harmonization with IMO regulations and the United
Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS).
The GESAMP Hazard Evaluation Procedure is used by the GESAMP
EHS Working Group for the evaluation of the hazards of chemical substances and
mixtures in liquid form, as governed by MARPOL Annex II and the IBC Code (IMO,
2016a). Substances not covered by the Procedure are provided below, together
with the respective regulatory instruments governing their carriage:
• packaged dangerous goods, governed by the IMDG Code
(IMO, 2016b)
• solids carried in bulk, governed by the IMSBC Code
(IMO, 2017b)
• gases carried in
bulk, governed by the IGC Code (IMO, 2016c)
• mineral oils carried in bulk, governed by MARPOL Annex I
(IMO, 2017a)
• radioactive substances (in respect to their radiation hazard).
