The values relate to the estimated overall effect on the stratospheric ozone layer relative to the common refrigerants CFC-11 and CFC-12 which are used as the reference pollutants for the purposes of the comparison SCHEDULE 3 NITROGEN OXIDES 1. The Technical File 1. Every marine diesel engine covered by regulation 12 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 must have a technical file which identifies the engine's components, settings or operating values which influence exhaust emissions. The technical file must be prepared by the engine manufacturer and approved by the relevant Certifying Authority, and is required to accompany an engine throughout its life on board the ship. It must be maintained in good order and not subjected to any unauthorised alteration, amendments, omission or deletions. The engine to which the technical file refers is to be installed in accordance with the rating (kW and speed) and duty cycle as approved together with any limitation imposed by the technical file. 2. The technical file must, at a minimum, contain the following information: .1 Identification of those components, settings and operating values of the engine which influence its NOx emissions; .2 identification of the full range of allowable adjustments or alternatives for the components of the engine; .3 full record of the relevant engine's performance, including the engine's rated speed and rated power; .4 a system of on-board NOx verification procedures to verify compliance with the NOx emission limits during on-board verification surveys; .5 a copy of the pre certification test report. .6 if applicable, the designation and restrictions for an engine which is a member of an engine group or engine family; .7 specifications of those spare parts/components which, when used in the engine, according to those specifications, will result in continued compliance of the engine with the NOx emission limits; and .8 the EIAPP Certificate (as detailed in Appendix 6). 2. Survey options. To ensure that engines are in compliance with regulation 12 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 after installation, each engine with an EIAPP Certificate must be checked at least once prior to issuance of the IAPP Certificate (as detailed in Appendix 1 of this MSN) and at every intermediate annual and renewal survey, using one of the three on-board NOx verification methods listed below: .1 engine parameter check in accordance with 6.2 of the NOx Technical Code to verify that an engine's component, setting and operating values have not deviated from the specifications in the engine's technical file; .2 simplified measurement method in accordance with 6.3 of the NOx technical Code; or .3 the direct measurement and monitoring method in accordance with 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.7, 2.3.8, 2.3.11, and 5.5. of the NOx Technical Code. 3. Engine parameter check method. Included in, or in addition to, the technical file described in paragraph 1 of this Schedule the ship-owner or person responsible for ships equipped with diesel engines must maintain on board the following documentation in relation to the on-board NOx verification procedures specified in 2.4 of this schedule: .1 a record book of engine parameters for recording all of the changes made relative to an engine's components and settings; .2 an engine parameter list of an engine's designated components and settings and/or the documentation of an engine's load-dependent operating values submitted by an engine manufacturer and approved by the certifying authority; and .3 technical documentation of an engine component modification when such a modification is made to any of the engine's designated engine components. 3.2 Record book of engine parameters Descriptions of any changes affecting the designated engine parameters, including adjustments, parts replacements and modifications to engine parts, must be recorded chronologically in the engine's record book of engine parameters specified in 3.1 of this schedule. These descriptions must be supplemented with any other applicable data used for the assessment of the engine's NOx levels. Any intended change to the NOx sensitive components or setting outside the limits listed in the technical file must be approved by the relevant certifying authority. Routine replacement of engine components by parts specified in the technical file that do not alter emission characteristics are not regarded as a ``substantial modification'' regardless of whether one part or many parts are replaced. 4. Simplified method Where an engine covered by the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulation 2005 is fitted to a ship, constructed before 1 January 2000, has been modified the ‘simplified measurement method’ may be used to establish if the change can be regarded as a ‘substantial modification’ that will increase its’ existing emission characteristics in excess of the allowances set out 6.3.11 of the NOx technical code This method can also be used for the subsequent renewal and intermediate surveys when required. This method is a simplified version of the full test bed methodology and there are certain allowances which may be applied in calculating the final emissions figures to take account of possible deviations in instrument accuracy and the presence of nitrogen in the fuel. (Note also see section 6 of the schedule below) . 5. Direct measurement and monitoring method. Direct measurement and monitoring method must be carried out in accordance with the applicable sections of chapters 2 and 5 of the NOx technical code. The gas monitoring equipment and system must be approved in accordance with MSN 1734 (M+F) or 1735 (M+F) as appropriate taking into account Resolution MEPC.103 (49) (Guidelines for on-board NOx Verification Procedure –Direct measurement and Monitoring method). 6. Modifications to diesel engines If any adjustments or modifications are made to any engine after its pre-certification, a full record of such adjustments or modifications must be recorded in the engine's record book of engine parameters. If all of the engines installed on board are verified to remain within the parameters, components, and adjustable features recorded in the technical file, the engines should be accepted as performing within the NOx limits specified in regulation 12 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005. In this case, with respect to this Code, an IAPP Certificate may then be issued to the ship. If any adjustment or modification is made which is outside the approved limits documented in the technical file, the IAPP Certificate may be issued only if the overall NOx emission performance is verified to be within the required limits by: direct on-board NOx monitoring equipment, approved by a Competent Authority; a simplified on-board NOx measurement; or, reference to the test-bed testing for the relevant engine group approval showing that the adjustments or modifications do not exceed the NOx emissions limits. Where an engine covered by the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulation 2005 is fitted to a ship, constructed before 1 January 2000, has been modified and does not have the necessary technical data to conduct a parameter check survey the IAPP Certificate may be issued only if the overall NOx emission performance is verified to be within the required limits by: direct on-board NOx monitoring equipment, approved by a Competent Authority as described in section 5 of this schedule, the simplified on-board NOx measurement as described in section 4 of this schedule. 7. Second Hand Engines Regulation 12(2)(a) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 does not apply to second hand engines manufactured before 1 January 2000 which have been overhauled or re-conditioned if they replace existing engines in ships constructed before 1 January 2000 as this does not constitute a major conversion under Regulation 12 (2)(b). However, modifications which increase the maximum continuous rating of these engines by more than 10% or a substantial modification (as defined in this MSN) are considered a major conversion and in such instances the NOx emission limits in Regulation 12 will apply. To establish whether a modification should be regarded as a substantial modification the methods described in section 4 or 5 of this schedule should be used. Regulation 12 (2)(a) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 will apply to a new engine built on or after 1 January 2000, which is replacing an engine in a new or existing ship. SCHEDULE 4 SULPHUR OXIDES (SOx) Sulphur Content of Fuels Regulation 13(2) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution) Regulations 2005 requires that the sulphur content of any fuel oil used onboard ships does not exceed 4.5% m/m. Regulation 13(3) requires that ships within in a SOx emission control area do not use fuel oil with an SOx content that exceeds 1.5% m/m unless either an ‘exhaust gas cleaning system’, or any ‘other technological’ method that is verifiable and enforceable to limit SOx emissions to the same level as the exhaust gas cleaning system, is fitted. Approval of Exhaust Gas Cleaning systems The ‘exhaust gas cleaning system’ and the ‘other technological methods’ referred to in regulation 13(3) must be approved in accordance with MSN 1735 (M+F) or 1734 (M+F) as appropriate taking into account guidelines that are to be developed by the IMO. The systems described above must reduce the total emissions of sulphur dioxide from ships, including both auxiliary and main propulsion engines, to 6.0g/kWh or less calculated as the total weight of sulphur dioxide emission. SOx Emission Control Areas For the purpose of regulation 13 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 SOx emission control areas include: The Baltic Sea proper with the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland and the entrance to the Baltic Sea bounded by the parallel 57° 44’.8 N east of the Skaw in the Skagerrak. This SOx emission control area will come into force on the 19 May 2005 and all ships must comply with either regulation 13(3) (a) or (b) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 12 months from this date. the North Sea area being all sea areas within the following boundaries (including the North Sea proper and the English Channel and its approaches) — (i) to the north, the boundary constituted by the 62° N parallel from Norway westward to 4° W meridian and thence southward to Scotland; (ii) to the east, the boundary constituted by the parallel 48° 30° N from France westward to 5° W meridian and thence northward to England. This SOx emission control area will come into force on the [August 2006] and all ships must comply with either regulation 13(3) (a) or (b) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 12 months from this date. (c) any other sea areas including port areas designated by the Secretary of State in a Merchant Shipping Notice when notified by the IMO in accordance with criteria and procedures for designation of SOx emission control areas with respect to the prevention of air pollution from ships contained in appendix 8 of the 1997 protocol to MARPOL. Waste Streams from Exhaust gas Cleaning Systems Ships must not discharge waste streams from exhaust gas cleaning systems equipment into enclosed ports, harbours and estuaries unless the ship can thoroughly document that the waste streams have no adverse impact on the ecosystem. The authorities of port States are required to communicate to the IMO the criteria on which they have based their conclusions that higher levels of certain harmful substance contained within waste streams will result in an adverse impact on the ecosystem of any enclosed port, harbour or estuary. As a first step to facilitate the previous paragraph and allow the criteria to be developed, ships within the United Kingdom waters that wish to use an exhaust gas cleaning system within a particular enclosed port or harbour should provide proposals for an environmental impact assessment to show that waste streams do not have any adverse impact on the ecosystem. This proposal should be sent to the [Secretary of State] so that it can be approved and conditions of the assessment agreed. In the case where a recent environmental impact assessment has already been conducted on a ship fitted with an exhaust gas cleaning system with regard to a particular port this information may be submitted to the [Secretary of State] for assessment and approval. Once the criteria for the use of exhaust gas cleaning systems within United Kingdom waters has been established and the IMO has circulated information provided by other port States, the information will be produced in a [Merchant Shipping Notice]. Fuel switching and the recording of operational procedures When ships are using separate fuel oils to comply with regulation 13.3 (a) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 the change over to the lower sulphur fuel must be carried out in sufficient time to ensure that the ship’s fuel oil system is totally flushed of all fuels containing more than 1.5% m/m sulphur prior to entering the SOx emission control area. The volume of the low sulphur fuel oils (less than or equal to 1.5% m/m sulphur content) in each tank as well as the date, time and position of the ship when any fuel-changeover operation is completed entering or leaving a SOx emission control area, must be recorded in the ships oil record book or the ships log book in compliance with regulation 13 (5) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) regulations 2005. SCHEDULE 5 VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS All ports and terminals within the United Kingdom who wish to declare a VOC control area as provided for in regulation 14.1 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 must apply to the [Secretary of State] for approval. The application must include the information on the size of tankers to be controlled, the cargoes requiring vapour emission control systems and the date the port or terminal would like the controls to start. The application must be submitted at least one year before the date that the port or terminal has applied for the VOCs to be regulated. All vapour emission control systems within ports or terminals within the United Kingdom must be approved by the [Secretary of State] in accordance with MSC/Circ 585, “Standards for Vapour Emission Control Systems”. All United Kingdom registered tankers which are subject to vapour emission control within a port or terminal that has been notified to the IMO under regulation 15 of the 1997 Protocol to MARPOL (Annex VI), shall be provided with a vapour collection system approved in accordance with Merchant Shipping Notices 1734 (M+F) or 1735 (M+F) as appropriate taking into account MSC/Circ 585, “Standards for Vapour Emission Control Systems”. All ships which are subject to vapour emission control in a port or terminal within the United Kingdom that has been approved by the [Secretary of State] must be provided with a vapour collection system approved in accordance with MSC/Circ 585, “Standards for Vapour Emission Control Systems” Regulation 14 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 will only apply to gas carriers when the type of loading and containment systems allow safe retention of no methane VOCs on board or their safe return ashore. IMO adopted at MEPC 42, MEPC/Circ 345 entitled “Notification to the Organisation on Ports or Terminals where VOC Emissions are to be regulated”. The purpose of the circular is to allow the IMO to collate and distribute to its members details of ports and terminals regulating VOCs and conditions imposed on ships using these ports. Details provided by the IMO of the Ports and terminals that have been notified to them by member states will be produced in a future MSN. SCHEDULE 6 SHIPBOARD INCINERATION Regulation 15 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 does not require an incinerator to be fitted. However, each incinerator installed on board a ship on or after 1 January 2000 must meet the operating limits detailed in Appendix 4 to this Merchant Shipping Notice, and be approved and certified in accordance MSN 1734 (M+F) or 1735 (M+F) as appropriate taking into account the requirements of IMO Resolution MEPC.76 (40). Regulation 15 (4) of these regulations makes provision for exclusion from the type approval requirements for incinerators installed on board ships and off shore installations engaged exclusively on domestic voyages. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) would not normally allow such exclusions but may consider proposals based on an environmental impact assessment. In considering such proposals Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) would seek to ensure that any exclusion did not undermine efforts by incinerator manufacturers to reduce the level of air pollution by design measures. Regulation 15(5) of these regulations prohibits the incineration of: • the residues of any substances or materials referred to in Annex I, II and III of the MARPOL 73/78 Convention which have been carried as cargo in the ship and any related contaminated packaging material; • polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s); • garbage, as defined in MARPOL 73/78 Annex V, containing more than traces of heavy metals; and • refined petroleum products containing halogen compounds (essentially those incorporating fluorine, chlorine or bromine) Regulation 15 (6) of these regulations additionally permits incineration, in the main or auxiliary power plant or boilers, of sewage sludge and sludge oil generated during normal shipboard operation, but this is not permitted inside ports, harbours and estuaries. Regulation 15 (7) of these regulations prohibits the incineration of polyvinyl chlorides (PVC’s) except in incinerators which are approved in accordance with MEPC 76 (40). Incinerators installed prior to the 1 January 2000 and approved to MEPC 59 (33) and not MEPC 76 (40) may be continued to be used after the date of entry in to force of the regulations but the incineration of PVCs in such incinerators is prohibited. Regulation 15 (8 and 9) of these regulations require all ships with incinerators subject to this regulation to possess a manufacturer’s operation manual giving instructions in the operation of the incinerator to achieve the limits specified in Appendix 4 to this MSN. Personnel responsible for the operation of any incinerator must be suitably trained and capable of implementing the guidance provided in the manufacturer’s operating manual. The operating manuals and the training requirements should be included in the ships ISM Code safety management system. Regulation 15 (10 and 11) of these regulations requires the combustion flue gas outlet temperature to be monitored at all times and that waste is not fed into continuous feed shipboard incinerators when the temperature is below the minimum allowed temperature of 850 degrees Celsius .For batch loaded shipboard incinerators, the unit must be designed so that the temperature in the combustion chamber will reach 600 degrees Celsius within 5 minutes of start up. SCHEDULE 7 RECEPTION FACILITIES Ozone depleting substances Repair ports and ship-breaking facilities must provide adequate provision for ships using the facilities for the reception of ozone-depleting substances and equipment containing such substances when removed from ships as required by the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations SI 2003/1809. Ship operators planning to carry out essential maintenance on plant containing ozone-depleting substances, including their replacement, should ensure that adequate reception facilities are available at the intended repair port. Action could be taken by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) against any United Kingdom flag ship, or other ship whilst within the United Kingdom, if evidence emerged that ozone-depleting substances were discharged to the atmosphere from on board the ship even if the discharge was caused by the action of shore-side repair personnel. Exhaust Gas Cleaning residue. Ports terminals and repair ports must provide adequate provision for the reception of exhaust gas cleaning residue from an approved exhaust gas cleaning system fitted to a ship if the ship is not permitted to discharge the residue into the enclosed port, harbour or estuary. The control of exhaust gas cleaning waste are covered by the Merchant Shipping Port Waste Reception Facilities Regulations (SI 2003/1809) The term “adequate” means that the harbour authority and terminal operator shall provide facilities capable of receiving the types and quantities of prescribed wastes from ships normally using that harbour or terminal taking into account the operational needs of the users of the harbour or terminal, its size and geographical location, the types of ships calling there and any exemptions provided for. United Kingdom flag ship’s must inform the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) of all cases where they consider the facilities for either the reception of ozone-depleting substances or cleaning residue from approved exhaust gas cleaning systems are unavailable or inadequate. SCHEDULE 8 FUEL OIL QUALITY Fuel Oil Quality Specifications Fuel oil for combustion purposes delivered to and used on board ships to which the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 apply must meet the following requirements: (a) except as provided in sub-paragraph (b): (i) the fuel oil shall be blends of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum refining. This shall not preclude the incorporation of small amounts of additives intended to improve some aspects of performance; (ii) the fuel oil shall be free from inorganic acid; (iii) the fuel oil shall not include any added substance or chemical waste which either: (1) jeopardizes the safety of ships or adversely affects the performance of the machinery, or (2) is harmful to personnel, or (3) contributes overall to additional air pollution; and (b) fuel oil for combustion purposes derived by methods other than petroleum refining shall not: (i) exceed the sulphur content set out in regulation 13 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005. (ii) cause an engine to exceed the NOx emission limits set out in regulation 12 (5) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005. (iii) contain inorganic acid; and (iv) (1) jeopardize the safety of ships or adversely affect the performance of the machinery, or (2) be harmful to personnel, or contribute overall to additional air pollution. Regulation 16 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 does not apply to coal in its solid form or nuclear fuels and to the use of hydrocarbons which are produced and subsequently used on a platform or drilling rig when approved by [ the Department of Trade and Industry Oil and Gas Directorate]. Bunker delivery note and Samples Requirements for ships For each ship subject to a survey and issue of an International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate, as detailed in Regulations 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005, details of fuel oil for combustion purposes delivered to, and used on board are to be recorded by means of a bunker delivery note which must contain the information specified in Appendix 5 of this MSN. The bunker delivery note must be kept on board the ship in such a place as to be readily available for inspection at all reasonable times and be retained for a period of three years after the fuel oil has been delivered on board. The sample that must be provided to the ship and signed by the local supplier’s representative must also be signed by the ship’s master or officer in charge on completion of bunkering. This sample must be retained under the ship's control until the fuel oil is substantially consumed, but in any case for a period of not less than 12 months from the time of delivery. Whilst the bunker note must be retained on board, the control sample need only be retained under the ship’s control. This latter requirement enables samples to be deposited at a port office or other similar facility where they can be readily obtained. This concession is useful in the case of high speed craft or for ships which bunker frequently. Requirements for fuel oil suppliers The fuel oil supplier’s representative must sign a declaration on the bunker delivery note that certifies that the fuel oil supplied is in conformity with regulations 13 (2) or 13 (3) (a) and 16 (2) and 16 (3) of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005. This declaration should be provided by the person responsible for the final blend of the fuel oil. The local supplier of fuel oil is the person responsible for delivering the bunkers to the ship by barge or direct from shore. They must provide the bunker delivery note and sample required by Regulation 16 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 and retain a copy of the note for at least three years for inspection and verification by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). The bunker delivery note must contain the information and declaration contained in appendix 5 to this MSN. The density of fuel oil should be tested in accordance with ISO 3675 and the sulphur content of fuel oil should be tested in accordance with ISO 8754. The local supplier’s representative is responsible for pumping the bunkers on board the ship, taking the sample in accordance with Appendix 2 of this MSN and completing the bunker delivery note. This person, appointed by the local supplier, is required to seal and sign the sample on completion of the bunkering and give it to the ship along with the bunker delivery note. All local suppliers of fuel oil must register with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) at the address contained in this MSN (or a person authorised by them and detailed in a Merchant Shipping Notice if this work is delegated in the future), and provide an annual declaration as detailed in Appendix 7 to this MSN. If the local supplier of fuel oil does not provide the annual declaration as detailed in Appendix 7 it will be assumed that the supplier no longer delivers marine fuel oil and will be removed from the register. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) may inspect the bunker delivery notes on board any ship to which the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 apply while the ship is in a port or offshore terminal within United Kingdom waters and may make a copy of each delivery note. The MCA may also require the master or person in charge of the ship to certify that each copy is a true copy of bunker delivery note and verify the contents of each note through consultations with the port where the note was issued. The control sample required by regulation 16 of the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2005 is additional to those normally supplied or drawn for commercial purposes. It is to be used solely to demonstrate compliance with Annex VI to the responsible authority when demanded. It must therefore not be used in place of any sample despatched for analysis at the time of bunkering or in the course of subsequent commercial disputes.

In accordance with regulation 18(6) of Annex VI, the bunker delivery note shall be accompanied by a representative sample of the fuel oil delivered. This sample is to be used solely for determination of compliance with Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78. 3 Definitions For the purpose of these Guidelines: 3.1 Supplier’s representative is the individual from the bunker tanker who is responsible for the delivery and documentation or, in the case of deliveries direct from the shore to the ship, the person who is responsible for the delivery and documentation. 3.2 Ship's representative is the ship's master or officer in charge who is responsible for receiving bunkers and documentation. 3.3 Representative sample is a product specimen having its physical and chemical characteristics identical to the average characteristics of the total volume being sampled. 3.4 Primary sample is the representative sample of the fuel delivered to the ship collected throughout the bunkering period obtained by the sampling equipment positioned at the bunker manifold of the receiving ship. 3.5 Retained sample is the representative sample in accordance with regulation 18(6) of Annex VI to MARPOL 73/78, of the fuel delivered to the ship derived from the primary sample. 4 Sampling methods The primary sample should be obtained by one of the following methods: .1 manual valve-setting continuous-drip sampler; or .2 time-proportional automatic sampler; or .3 flow-proportional automatic samplers. 4.2 Sampling equipment should be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, or guidelines, as appropriate. 5 Sampling and sample integrity 5.1 A means should be provided to seal the sampling equipment throughout the period of supply. 5.2 Attention should be given to: .1 The form of set up of the sampler; .2 The form of the primary sample container; .3 The cleanliness and dryness of the sampler and the primary sample container prior to use; .4 The setting of the means used to control the flow to the primary sample container; and .5 The method to be used to secure the sample from tampering or contamination during the bunker operation. 5.3 The primary sample receiving container should be attached to the sampling equipment and sealed so as to prevent tampering or contamination of the sample throughout the bunker delivery period. 6 Sampling location For the purpose of these Guidelines a sample of the fuel delivered to the ship should be obtained at the receiving ship’s inlet bunker manifold and should be drawn continuously throughout the bunker delivery period.* 7 Retained sample handling 7.1 The retained sample container should be clean and dry. 7.2 Immediately prior to filling the retained sample container, the primary sample quantity should be thoroughly agitated to ensure that it is homogenous. 7.3 The retained sample should be of sufficient quantity to perform the tests required but should not be less than 400 ml. The container should be filled to 90% ± 5% capacity and sealed. 8 Sealing of the retained sample 8.1 Immediately following collection of the retained sample, a tamper proof security seal with a unique means of identification should be installed by the supplier’s representative in the presence of the ship's representative. A label containing the following information should be secured to the retained sample container: .1 location at which, and the method by which, the sample was drawn; .2 date of commencement of delivery; .3 name of bunker tanker/bunker installation; .4 name and IMO number of the receiving ship; .5 signatures and names of the supplier’s representative and the ship's representative; .6 details of seal identification; and .7 bunker grade. 8.2 To facilitate cross-reference details of the seal, identification may also be recorded on the bunker delivery note. 9 Retained sample storage 9.1 The retained sample should be kept in a safe storage location, outside the ship’s accommodation, where personnel would not be exposed to vapours which may be released from the sample. Care should be exercised when entering a sample storage location. 9.2 The retained sample should be stored in a sheltered location where it will not be subject to elevated temperatures, preferably at a cool/ambient temperature, and where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight. 9.3 Pursuant to regulation 18(6) of Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78, the retained sample should be retained under the ship’s control until the fuel oil is substantially consumed, but in any case for a period of not less than 12 months from the time of delivery. 9.4 The ship’s master should develop and maintain a system to keep track of the retained samples.
