Summary Regarding the new IMO scheme of GBS, the report of pilot panel of GBS III verification process for MSC was informed. During discussion, some issues which would impact shipbuilding industry, such as net scantling and intellectual property right (IPR), were identified. It is also emphasized that Asian shipbuilders should their voice to IMO more strongly. |
Item 2 Safety Issue 2 - IMO PSPC Presentations i) “PSPC” Mr. Wang Guoping, Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding(Group) Co., Ltd. (China) ii) “Useful and Reliable Technology,Electric Conductivity : All Soluble Salt Ions” Mr. Hidehisa Ashida, Oshima Shipbuilding Co., LTD. (Japan) iii) “Corrosion Protection for COT of Crude Oil Tankers ‘Corrosion-Resistant Steel’” Mr. Masanori Yoshida, Japan Ship Technology Research Association (Japan) iv) “The 1st PSPC Experience” Mr. Yong-woon Kim, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (Korea)  | Mr. Hidehisa Ashida (Japan) |
Summary A lot of suggestions were introduced based on preparation for and appreciation of PSPC for dedicated seawater ballast tanks. The rigid method was also informed as a new salinity measurement system. In addition, Corrosion Resistant steel for COT of Crude Oil Tankers was informed as a beneficial method for shipbuilding industry. Participants shared the views that they should corporate with each other to deal with corrosion issues. |
Item 3 Environment Issue 1 – Air Pollution and Ship Recycling Presentations i) “Discussion on NOx Certification Obtainment and NOx Emission Survey on Board for Marine Low Speed Diesel Engine” Mr. Zhou Weizhong, Hudong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. (China) ii) “Comments on the Proposed Attained New Ship Design CO2 Index” Mr. Li Xiaoping, Marine Design & Research Institute of China(China) iii) “Ship Recycling Convention - What does it require shipbuilders to do?” Mr. Tasuku Hirabara, Japan Ship Technology Research Association(Japan)  |  | Mr. Li Xiaoping (China) |
Summary It was shared among participants that complying with the new regulations by the amendment of the MARPOL Annex VI was one of the urgent tasks for the shipbuilding industry. In the discussion, two methods of compiling technical documents for obtaining emission certification were introduced and analyzed in detail. Regarding greenhouse gas emission from ships, all participants shared the views that the reduction of greenhouse gas emission from ships important and that improving ship energy efficiency is vital. Also, technical discussion on the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) at the IMO was reviewed. From the floor, it was suggested that the shipbuilding industry in Asia can contribute greatly to the IMO works on EEDI by conducting trial use of the draft Energy Efficiency Design Index guidelines developed by the IMO. The requirements of the IMO Ship Recycling Convention were illustrated in depth. What caught the participants’ attention was how to develop inventory for existing ships. It is concerned that developing inventory for existing ships might be impossible because of lack of information. Therefore, the necessity of early preparation was emphasized and understood. |
Item 4 Environment Issue 2 - Ballast Water Management Convention and Current Technology Development of Ballast Water Treatment System Presentations i) “Recent Application on Regulation for Ballast Water Treatment in Ship Design” Mr. Lu Changrong, Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (China) ii) “Recent Development of Ballast Water Treatment Technologies” Mr. Ki-hoon Han, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., LTD. (Korea)  | Mr. Lu Changrong (China) |
Summary The regulations of the Ballast Water Management Convention and the procedures for approval of Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) were explained, and then the participants were informed of the current development of BWTS, including the technology for ballast water treatment. The discussion covered a number of issued with regards to BWTS, such as the difficulties of installing BWTS on ships and the effects of chemicals used in BWTS. Participants showed various interests in this topic: necessary time to complete ballast water treatment: the necessity of special training to operate BWTS. Item 5 Any Other items Presentation i) ”The Development Trend of Green Shipbuilding Technology” Mr. Hong-He Ping ，The Guangzhou Shipyard International Co,. Ltd (China) ii)“Overview of regulations and standards on marine environment protection” Mr. Sei-chang Lee, Korean Register of Shipping (KR)  |  | Mr. Hong-He Ping (China) | Mr. Sei-chang Lee (Korea) |
Summary A wide range of regulations and standards on marine environment protection were discussed. The discussion referred to the Anti-Fouling Convention, which just entered into force on 17 September 2008. Furthermore, the progress of ISO on marine corrosion and fouling was informed. In addition, the results of ISO TC8/SC2 (Marine Environment Protection) held from 4 to 10 April 2008 were introduced to the participants. It was recognized that the shipbuilding industry should tackle many environmental issues simultaneously and strenuously. Item 6 Discussion on ASEF Framework, NGO to IMO and any other items i)“Amendment to the Resolution 1(1) of 1st ASEF [Framework of ASEF] and information on NGO s in IMO” Mr. Tsuyoshi Yahagi, Japan Ship Technology Research Association (Japan) Summary The draft ASEF Framework amendment was discussed. After some modifications, the amendment was unanimously agreed and adopted as Resolution 2(1). According to the Resolution, JSTRA become the Secretariat of ASEF until the next ASEF and ASEF will explore the establishment of NGO to IMO. China’s offer for the host of the next ASEF meeting was highly welcomed among all participants. |
