REQUIRED AND ATTAINED EEDI

-
REQUIRED EEDI

 The Required EEDI is the maximum allowable value of the attained EEDI permissible for a specific ship type and size. The Required EEDI represents a minimum energy efficiency requirement for new ships depending on ship type and size. This begins with a baseline in 2013 and is raised successively in three steps until 2025. The baseline for required EEDI is calculated from the EEDI of vessels built after the millennium.The EEDI assesses the energy consumption of the vessel at noral seafaring condition, taking into account the energy required for propulsion and the hotel load for the crew. Energy consumed to maintain the cargo and for the manoeuvring or ballasting is not considered. The Required EEDI is calculated for all ship types using 100% of the dead weight at summer draft,except for passenger ships where GT is used. According to MARPOL Annex 6 chapter 4 regulation 21 Required EEDI is:-
(1-x/100) * Reference line value
The reference value is defined by a line which is mathematically defined as :-
                                                         -c                                                    
Required EEDI = a*b
The value of a,b and c is as follows:-
                                                               a                                 b                                    c
Bulk carrier                                    961.7                             dwt                               0.447
Tankers                                         1218.8                              dwt                              0.488
Containers                                      174.22                            dwt                               0.201

The Required EEDI will be reduced by 'X' % each five year based on initial value (Phase 0) and depending on vessel size. Below a certain size no reduction applies. Above a certain size reduction is in general 10% for each reduction phase. In between of these sizes the reduction is linearly interpolated.

ATTAINED EEDI

It means the EEDI value actually achieved by any individual ship. The attained EEDI is the actual calculated and verified EEDI value for an individual ship based on the data in the EEDI technical file. It shall be calculated for all ships of 400 GT and above. The attained EEDi must be below the 'Required EEDI' limit prescribed in MARPOL. 
                CO2 emission
EEDI= ---------------------
                Transport Work

CO2 emission is computed from the fuel consumption taking into account the carbon content of the fuel. The fuel consumption is based on the power used for propulsion and auxiliary power measured at defined design condition.
   The transport work is estimated by the designated ship capacity multiplied by the ship's speed measured at maximum summer load draft and at 75% of rated installed power. The total propulsion power is also defined as 75% MCR of all main engines.

CRITICAL EQUIPMENT AND OPERATION UNDER ISM CODE.

-
Critical equipments are equipments whose failure will lead to a potential hazardous situation or an accident, thereby causing injury to personnel or loss of life or damage to marine environment or property. This causes deviation or failure of the ISM objective 1.2.2 of ISM code. PROVISION IN ISM :- Element 10.3 of ISM code states----      The company should establish procedures in its safety management system to identify equipment and technical system, the sudden operational failure of which may result in hazardous situation. The SMS should provide for specific measures aimed at promoting the reliability of such equipment or systems. These measures should include the regular testing of standby arrangement or equipment or technical systems that are not in continuous use.      Hence SMS must have with respect to the critical equipment have procedures:- 1) To identify them 2) To ensure their test and functional reliability 3) To establish and use the alternative arrangements on

Various codes of PSC inspection and how to present to PSCO in case IOPP equipment is not working

-
Following are the various codes which are used to represent Action to be taken by vessel against the deficiency reported:- Deficiency Action Codes 10 deficiency rectified 15 rectify deficiency at next port 16 rectify deficiency within 14 days 17 rectify deficiency before departure 18 rectify deficiency within 3 months  30 detainable deficiency 99 other (specify) Note: For ISM deficiencies, only code 10, 18 and 30 can be used. Restrictions on Updating Codes Both codes 15 and 16 can only be updated to code 10. Code 17 can only be updated to code 10, 15, 16 and 99. Code 18 can only be updated to code 10. Code 30 can only be updated to: - code 10 or 18 (ISM def.) - code 10 or 99 (non - ISM def.) Code 18 can only be updated to code 10. We will discuss one case where 15 ppm equipment has started malfunctioning just before the arrival of the port. After investigating it was found that the  coalescer filter has become very dirty and because of this th

CLEAR GROUND FOR DETAILED INSPECTION DURING PSC INSPECTION

-
CLEAR GROUNDS:- Evidence that the ship, its equipment or its crew does not correspond substantially with requirement of relevant convention or that the master or crew members are not familiar with essential shipboard procedures relating to the safety of ship or prevention of pollution.     Clear grounds to conduct a more detailed inspection include:- 1) The absence of principal equipment or arrangements required by convention :- e.g. MARPOL annex 1 requires that ship above 400 GRT and above must have an OWS with automatically stopping device, if effluent exceeds 15 ppm. Absence of this principal equipment will lead to detention. 2) Evidence from a review of the ship's certificate that it is clearly invalid: - e.g. Safety equipment certificate found invalid since no renewal survey was carried out. 3) Evidence that the ship's logs, manuals or other required documentation are not on board, are not maintained or falsely maintained:- e.g. ORB part 1 not present on board or in
