Implementation of EU Directive 2005/33/EC on Marine Fuel Oils
Including
ECSA/ESPO Summary Table on Implementation by EU Member States
As of 23 April 2010
Background
Directive 2005/33/EC dated 2005-07-22 introduced amendments to Council Directive 1999/32/EC relating to the
reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels. In particular, Article 4b states:
Article 4b
Maximum sulphur content of marine fuels used by ships at berth in Community ports
1. With effect from 1 January 2010, Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure
that the following vessels do not use marine fuels with a sulphur content exceeding 0,1 % by
mass:
(b) ships at berth in Community ports, allowing sufficient time for the crew to complete any
necessary fuel-changeover operation as soon as possible after arrival at berth and as late
as possible before departure.
Member States shall require the time of any fuel-changeover operation to be recorded in
ships' logbooks.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply:
(a) whenever, according to published timetables, ships are due to be at berth for less than
two hours;
(c) until 1 January 2012 for the vessels listed in the Annex and operating exclusively within
the territory of the Hellenic Republic;
(d) to ships which switch off all engines and use shore-side electricity while at berth in ports.
3. With effect from 1 January 2010, Member States shall ensure that marine gas oils are not
placed on the market in their territory if the sulphur content of those marine gas oils exceeds
0,1 % by mass.
Being Directives, the requirements have to be transposed into the national law of each EU Member State, and
as a consequence of the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, also into the national legislation of the
European Free Trade Area (EFTA) member states.
On 29 December 2009, the EU Commission published Recommendation 2009/1020/EU in the Official Journal
of the European Union. This Recommendation is available through the following link:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:348:0073:0074:EN:PDF
Although the preamble contains important information as to how the Commission regards this issue, in
particular that the implementation process should not take more than 8 months (i.e. be completed by 31
August 2010) the Recommendation itself reads as follows:
1. As part of the Member States enforcement actions against ships which fail to comply with
the requirement to use fuels with a maximum permitted sulphur content of 0,1 % while at
berth, Member States should request those ships to provide detailed evidence of the steps
they are taking to achieve compliance. This should include a contract with a manufacturer
and an approved retrofit plan which should be approved by the ship’s classification
society or, for ships flying the flag of a Member State, by the organisation having
recognition in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 of the European Parliament
and of the Council. The retrofit plan should clearly state the date of completion of the
adaptation and certification process.
2. Member States may consider the existence of an approved retrofit plan when assessing
the degree of penalties to be applied to non-complying ships.
3. Member States should take appropriate measures to raise awareness among owners,
operators and seafarers of the safety risk related to fuel changeover in the absence of any
1
necessary technical adaptation to a ship’s fuel system and the necessity for training to be
provided.
This is only a recommendation made by the Commission and it is up to each Member State to decide whether
and to what extent to utilize the recommendation.
In addition, the EU Directorate General – Environment updated its web site on ship emissions to include a link
to a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document issued by the Commission and available through the following link:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/transport/pdf/ships_faq.pdf
ECSA/ESPO Summary Table on Implementation by EU Member States

The European Community Shipowners' (ECSA) and European Sea Ports Organization (ESPO) have been
collecting, and periodically updating, information on how the individual EU States are implementing the
requirements of the EU Directive and the extent to which they are following the EU Commission’s
Recommendation.
ECSA and ESPO have graciously allowed ABS to share their Summary Table with ABS shipowners through the
ABS Eagle Portal, and to provide ABS with future updates of their Summary Table as they are issued. The
Summary Table is on the following pages.
However, ship owners and managers are advised to seek up to date information directly from the relevant
EU/EEA Port Authorities of the ports to which their ships will be calling after 1 January 2010.
Owing to the nature of the information in the Summary Table and that it is subject to change at any time in each
State, neither shipowners, managers, nor any other party should rely upon this information, which is provided

Summary
This MGN provides guidance for ships on the requirements of the Merchant Shipping
(Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2008 (as amended) (“the Regulations”).
Specifically, this guidance is intended to aid interpretation of the requirements under the
Regulations for ships either anchored or at berth in UK ports, with respect to sufficient time for
fuel changeover, and “hotelling”. These requirements implement the marine elements of the
Sulphur Content of Liquid Fuels Directive, 1999/32/EC, as amended by 2005/33/EC of 6 July
2005 (“the Directive”).
The European Commission has issued a Commission Recommendation (2009/1020/EU) of

21 December 2009 on the safe implementation of the use of low sulphur fuel by ships at berth
in Community ports. The Commission Recommendation brings to the attention of the shipping
industry a potential safety issue with the use of distillate marine fuel in boilers where the
boilers have not been designed to use distillate marine fuel and/or appropriate fuel
changeover procedures are not in place. Additionally the MGN highlights further guidance on
implementation of the Directive published by the Commission in December 2009 that may be
useful when applying the Regulations.
Under Regulation 3(13)(a) of the Regulations ships can be exempted where it is necessary
for the purpose of securing the safety of a ship. Exemptions can be considered on application
to the MCA.
-1-
1. Introduction
1.1 Regulation 4 of Schedule 2A requires that ships at berth in United Kingdom ports and
inland waterways vessels do not use marine fuel which has a sulphur content exceeding
0.10 per cent by mass.
1.2 Regulation 4(2) of Schedule 2A identifies that this requirement does not apply to ships at
berth in United Kingdom ports for that period of time which is sufficient to allow the crew to
complete any necessary fuel-changeover operation. These changeover operations should
be completed as soon as possible after arrival at berth and as late as possible before
departure from berth.
1.3 The Regulations define a ship at berth as meaning “ships which are securely moored or
anchored in a United Kingdom Port while it is loading, unloading or hotelling, including the
time spent when not engaged in cargo operations”.
1.4 In order to further clarify the applicability of Regulation 4 of Schedule 2A, and in particular
expand upon the definitions provided in the Regulations, the following guidance is
provided.
2. Guidance for ships anchored within a UK port
2.1 A ship anchored within the port limits of a UK port is required to comply with the provisions
for "ships at berth" in Regulation 4 of Schedule 2A.
2.2 For a ship anchored outside port limits but anchored within the North Sea Sulphur
Emission Control Area, the ship shall remain compliant with the sulphur content limit for
fuel oil used on board the ship for the North Sea Sulphur Emission Control Area.
3. Guidance on the term “sufficient time” allowed for fuel changeover operations by
ships at berth in UK ports
3.1 What is and what is not “sufficient time” to allow for fuel changeover operations may vary.
However the Regulations establish that ships are not required to changeover fuel where,
according to published timetables, ships are due to be at berth for less than two hours. It
can be inferred from this exemption, in general, that one hour could be considered as
sufficient time to complete fuel changeover operations recognising that the time may vary
depending upon ship type and ship systems.
3.2 Other factors that should be considered when determining what is sufficient time for fuel
changeover operations should include:
• all relevant safe operations;
• the operating circumstances of the ship, such as to minimise the interruption of
power plant;
• a need for effective maintenance and longevity of the ship’s machinery;
• any associated shore-based activity that might be required;
• machinery manufacturers’ guidance;
• company and vessel specific procedures;
• the power rating of the engines and the viscosity of the fuel being used.
3.3 The UK would not consider “sufficient time” for fuel changeover operations to include time
to procure and have delivery to the ship marine fuel with a sulphur content not exceeding
0.10%. A ship is expected to have compliant fuel onboard on arrival at berth.
3.4 A ship arriving at a UK port from outside the European Union that has been unable,
despite best endeavours, to source compliant marine fuel before arrival in a UK port will be
-2-
expected to have made arrangements prior to arrival in the UK port to have compliant
marine fuel supplied on arrival at the UK port. Where a ship arrives at a UK port without
compliant marine fuel it is expected to document that efforts have been made to procure
compliant marine fuel before embarking on its voyage to the UK.
4. Records in ship’s logbooks
4.1 Regulations 2(4)(b), 3(5) and 4(4) of Schedule 2A require details of any fuel changeover
operations to be recorded in accordance with Regulation 5 of Schedule 2A. The
information required and when it is to be recorded is identified in Table 1.

5. Guidance on the term “hotelling” in the context of operations by ships at berth
5.1 “Hotelling” should be considered as when a ship is securely moored or anchored in a port
and is not loading or unloading cargo, but is providing crew and any passengers with
accommodation and associated services.
6. Commission Recommendation (2009/1020/EU)
6.1 The European Commission has published Commission Recommendation of 21 December

2009 on the safe implementation of the use of low sulphur fuel by ships at berth in
-3-
Community ports. The Commission Recommendation relates to the operational problems
and safety risks associated with the use of marine diesel and marine gas oil in ships that
have not been designed to use such fuels or have not undergone the necessary technical
adaptation. The Commission have concluded that the main safety risk relates to use in
ships’ boilers which have not yet been assessed and certified for use with the required type
of fuel.
6.2 The Commission Recommendation was published in the Official Journal of the European
Union on 29 December 2009 (L348/73) and is available from the following site:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:348:0073:0074:EN:PDF
7. Guidance from the European Commission on implementation of the Directive
7.1 The European Commission has published guidance on implementation of the Directive.
This guidance is available from the following site:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/transport/pdf/ships_faq.pdf
8. Exemptions from the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships)
Regulations 2008 (as amended)
8.1 Regulation 3(13)(a) of the Regulations states that these Regulations do not apply to any
emission “necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of a ship”.
8.2 Exemptions can be considered on a case by case basis on application to the MCA, for
example, trip tests undertaken by LNG ships prior to discharge of cargo at LNG terminals
may merit exemption.
