As clock ticks, concerns mount over European ECA enforcement Shipowners want harmonized approach to new sulfur limits

Compiled by Marine Log Staff

W

ith regulations requiring 0.1 percent sulfur content in fuel due to take effect January 1, 2015, shipowners are concerned that policing of the Northern European Emissions Control Areas (ECAs) by port state control agencies will be spotty at best.

As we reported in our June 2014 Yearbook issue, “Chaos reigns as Europe’s new ECA-based fuel regime approaches,” some shipping companies that are abiding with the spirit of IMO’s MARPOL Annex VI are putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage with others who have adopted a wait and see attitude.

Last month, Maersk Line noted that, while the North American ECA requirements are strongly enforced, “the current weak enforcement of the North European ECA requirements combined with the significant cost burden increase in 2015 might lead to increased noncompliance. This would not only weaken the positive effect on air quality, it would also be a major competitive disadvantage for the shipping companies that follow the rules.”

Maersk Line says that ECA regulations coming into force in 2015 will cost it around $250 million a year in additional fuel costs. That extra cost will be borne by customers, says the container shipping giant, in the form of bunker surcharges in affected regions between $50 and $150 per 40 ft container.

In a statement issued by Maersk Line earlier this month, it says that “new legal requirements will come into force in the Emission Control Areas (ECA) in North Europe (Including the Baltic Sea, North Sea and English Channel) and North America (200 nautical miles from the American and Canadian shore). This legal requirement will lower the maximum allowed content of sulfur in fuel burned in the ECAs to 0.1% sulfur from today’s 1.0%.

“The 2015 requirements will have significant positive effects on the environmental and health in the regions and Maersk Line fully supports such a development, subject to strict regulatory enforcement to safeguard the environmental benefits and ensure a level playing field for ship operators.

“This requirement will have the following effects and implications for society, Maersk Line, and our customers: “Environment and Health: sulfur emissions (SOx) will be reduced by 90% which will have significant positive effects on the environment and on health in general. SOx emissions are toxic and cause respiratory implications as well as acid rain.

“Maersk Line: Fuel with a sulfur content of 0.1% is significantly more expensive than fuel with 1.0% sulfur content required in ECA areas today. By 2015, Maersk Line expects to purchase 650,000 tonnes of fuel with 0.1% sulfur content annually for our fleet, equal to 7% of

all fuel purchased. Based on the current price difference of $300 per ton (approx. 50%), the additional cost to Maersk Line will be around $250 million per year. On top of that, Maersk Line will face increased costs for buying services from third-party feeder operators, who will also have increasing fuel costs.

“Customers: To offset the additional cost incurred, Maersk Line will incorporate the higher average fuel costs into the existing standard bunker surcharge (SBF). We expect that additional cost to customers in affected trades will be between USD 50 and 150 per 40 ft container to and from main ports, depending on transit time inside ECA areas and whether touching ECA areas at both origin and destination. Reefer containers will incur higher cost due to fuel used to generate power on board vessels; also cost will fluctuate depending on the volatility of low sulfur fuel prices.

“Maersk Line will communicate more detailed SBF increases per trade when we get closer to implementation date and price difference between the different fuel types can be more precisely estimated.”

shipping companies press Paris MOU Meanwhile, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) is asking the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control to ensure that a harmonized approach to port state inspections relating to the new sulfur limits is developed in advance of the January 1, 2015 deadline.

ICS says that information collected by its member national ship owners’ associations suggests that many governments are not yet prepared to implement the requirements in a uniform manner, in order to ensure the prevention of a potentially serious market distortion.

ICS Secretary General, Peter Hinchliffe explained: “The shipping industry is investing billions of dollars in order to ensure compliance with this major regulatory change, and the huge costs involved could have a profound impact on the future structure of the entire shipping industry. We therefore think it is vital that governments get the details of any PSC intervention right as we enter a new world in which fuel costs for many ships will increase overnight by 50% or more.”

He added: “There is only six months to go and it is vital that the Paris MOU and its Member States – in co-ordination, as may be appropriate, with the United States and the European Commission – clarify all of the details of ECA implementation with respect to PSC inspection as soon as possible. ICS believes it is important for the maintenance of fair competition that implementation occurs throughout the Paris MOU region in a consistent and harmonized manner.”

ICS has just written the Paris MOU raising a number of PSC inspection issues relating to the new limit. These include: Whether – as ICS believes should be the case – the principal method of inspection will only involve looking at the bunker delivery note (BDN), with further sampling/analysis of fuel only normally taking place when examination of the BDN suggests clear grounds to suspect non-compliance, or when there is a previous history of noncompliance with MARPOL Annex VI; The procedures to be followed, with reference to applicable IMO Guidelines, in the event that sampling or analysis is undertaken during PSC inspections; The procedures that might be followed with respect to ships that transit an ECA without calling at a Port State located within an ECA; The extent to which a consistent approach will be shown with respect to any discretion for minor technical violations (e.g. those that might arise from fuel switching when a vessel enters an ECA) as opposed to deliberate use of the wrong grade of fuel, or with

respect to any discretion that might be applied for a limited period after January 2015.

Criteria to be applied during PSC inspections with respect to alternative compliance measures such as Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (“scrubbers”) or LNG. Scrubber issues that ICS believes require a harmonized approach include the acceptability of “closed loop” and “open loop” systems, and the extent to which overboard discharges will be subject to inspection.

Testing scrubbers, too DuPont subsidiary Belco Technologies Corporation, Parsippany, NJ, has partnered with the Maersk Group to successfully demonstrate Belco Marine exhaust gas scrubber technology aboard the 8,112 TEU containership Maersk Tukang.

The Belco Marine Scrubber was tested over six days in May 2014 as it sailed from the Port of Algeciras, Spain, to Genoa, Italy. Representatives from Belco and Maersk were on board.

An ABS surveyor was present to witness and monitor the full testing as the system awaits class certification, expected later this year.

The scrubber was installed in a Qingdao, China, shipyard during a scheduled drydocking.

The unit is designed to clean SOx and particulates from exhaust gas emissions from a 3.2 MW auxiliary engine. Open loop tests confirmed that Belco unit achieved 100 percent compliance with MARPOL Annex IV regulations for all air and washwater emission criteria.

Closed loop testing is scheduled for early fall 2014. Belco says it fully expects a successful demonstration since it has been engineering closed loop wet scrubbing systems for refineries and other land-based applications for over 20 years.

Fuel procurement strategy Singapore-headquartered marine fuel trading company Dynamic Oil Trading is urging ship owners and operators to prepare now to ensure that they can still meet their supply requirements for compliant products within ECAs, and to work collaboratively with their fuel suppliers in order to minimize the impact on their operations and profitability.

Lars Møller, CEO of Dynamic Oil Trading, says that while there are other options for shipowners to comply with ECA requirements such as scrubbers and alternatives fuels such as LNG, those won’t be “deployed in large numbers in the short term.” Møller says, “This leaves most owners and operators looking at distillates as the most viable solution. Not only do these carry a significant price premium, but the implications of the new low sulfur rules on fuel availability are also unclear, given the uncertain impact on both fuel supply and demand.”

He thinks that operators should lay out a fuel procurement strategy. “Waiting until the last minute risks compromising on availability, quality and price.”

Continues Møller: “We are encouraging our customers to be proactive in mapping out the precise fuel requirements of their ECA operations, in order to secure the fuel they need on the best possible terms and in a way that meets their specific operational needs.

“Secondly, owners and operators must speak to their preferred fuel supplier now and get their advice on securing access to high quality, ECA-compliant products from trusted physical suppliers. A knowledgeable supplier will be able to advise on how best to secure the fuel that is required. There is no guarantee that all physical suppliers will be able to supply the compliant products that are needed, in the right place, and at the right time, as availability in some ports could be patchy. The only way to avoid the risk of an impact on operations August 2014 MARINE LOG S1

or the risk of non-compliance with the 2015 ECA standards is to prepare now.

“Finally, we encourage all owners and operators to look at the price hedging tools that are at their disposal. There is an array of risk management strategies that operators can use to limit their exposure to fuel price fluctuations and to lock-in costs now, which not only helps to keep fuel bills as low as possible, but also provides greater certainty over costs. We can advise our customers on the

most appropriate hedging instruments to employ, based on their commercial strategy, their appetite for risk and the anticipated price trends in the marine fuel market.

“There is uncertainty across the entire industry over the impact of the new sulfur regulations, but this can be managed and the costs can be mitigated through a proactive approach to planning ahead and by working with fuel supplies in order to adapt fuel procurement strategies for ECA voyages.”

ExxonMobil rolls out new low-sulfur fuel in Europe The clock is ticking for ship operators that operate in an Emissions Control Area (ECA) to comply with the 0.1 percent sulfur cap on marine fuel, set to go into effect on January 1, 2015.

While there are concerns about the general policing of the Northern European ECA—comprised of the Baltic Sea, English Channel, and the North Sea—among ship owners, ships calling at Rotterdam or at the ports of Amsterdam or Antwerp will be able to bunker with ExxonMobil Premium Heavy Distillate Marine ECA 50 (HDME 50), a new category of marine fuel formulated to meet the 2015 ECA sulfur limit and to help marine engineers safely and efficiently operate their engines and boilers.

Operators can purchase the fuel in Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam— some of the busiest ports in Europe. Last year, Rotterdam had 29,448 seagoing vessels call at the port and another 99,000 inland vessels. The fuel is barged from Antwerp. There are no plans currently to expand the fuel’s availability to other ports “What’s notable about the new fuel,” says Iain White, Field Marketing Manager, Exxon Mobil Marine Fuels & Lubricants, “is that ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 carries the benefits of both Marine Gas Oil (MGO)

and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). The fuel can be stored in a heated tank.”

ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 contains a low sulfur content associated with MGO, and has the higher flashpoint and lower volatility properties typically found in HFO. These characteristics enable marine operators to comply with the upcoming sulfur cap and to reduce the risk of engine and boiler damage.

The higher viscosity of Ex xonMobil Premium HDME 50 makes storage and handling the fuel on board similar to HFO. With the fuel having to be heated, the risk of thermal shock to engine components is reduced during switchovers when entering and leaving an ECA. Thermal shock can result in fuel pumps seizures and engine shutdowns.

Prior to its introduction, ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 was tested with Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, one of the world’s leading shipping and logistics groups, and is suitable for use in main and auxiliary engines and marine type boilers.

Following successful field trials, the new fuel has received No Objection Letters from MAN Diesel & Turbo (MDT) for use in MAN B&W two-stroke and MAN B&W Holeby genset designs, provided MDT’s specific engine type guidelines are followed.
