ANNEX
2018
GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF MARPOL ANNEX I REQUIREMENTS TO FLOATING
PRODUCTION, STORAGE AND OFFLOADING FACILITIES (FPSOs) AND FLOATING STORAGE
UNITS (FSUs)
1 The Marine
Environment Protection Committee, at its forty-ninth session (14 to 18 July
2003), recognizing the necessity to provide appropriate guidance for the
application of MARPOL Annex I requirements to floating production, storage and
offloading facilities (FPSOs) used for the offshore production and storage of
oil, and floating storage units (FSUs) used for the offshore storage of
produced oil, approved the Guidelines for application of MARPOL Annex I
requirements to FPSOs and FSUs. The Guidelines were issued as MEPC/Circ.406
on 10 November 2003.
2 The Marine
Environment Protection Committee, at its fifty-third session, adopted, by
resolution MEPC.139(53),
the Guidelines for the application of the revised MARPOL Annex I
requirements to floating production, storage and offloading facilities (FPSOs)
and floating storage units (FSUs) to replace MEPC/Circ.406 and update the
Guidelines' references to the requirements of MARPOL Annex I as amended by
resolution MEPC.117(52).
3 The Marine
Environment Protection Committee, at its seventy-third session, recognizing
that similar revision would be needed for the Guidelines, agreed to the
adoption of these Guidelines to replace resolution MEPC.139(53), as amended,
with a view to updating the Guidelines to address the application of all new
MARPOL Annex I amendments up to resolution MEPC.276(70).
4 The purpose of
these Guidelines is to provide for uniform application of MARPOL Annex I
requirements to FPSOs and FSUs that are used for the offshore production and
storage or for the offshore storage of produced oil.
5 The Committee
noted the complex issues involved in applying the requirements of MARPOL Annex
I to FPSOs and FSUs, whose arrangements, functions and operations fall under
the over-riding control of coastal States.
6 In addition, the
Committee found that the role of FPSOs and FSUs in operation does not include
transport of oil. Accordingly, FPSOs and FSUs are a form of floating platform
and do not lie within the definition of oil tanker in regulation 1.5 of
MARPOL Annex I. They are therefore subject to the provisions of MARPOL Annex I
that relate to fixed and floating platforms, including regulation 39.
7 The Committee
noted that the environmental hazards associated with the quantities of produced
oil stored on board operational FPSOs and FSUs are similar to some of the
hazards related to oil tankers, and that relevant requirements of MARPOL Annex
I in relation to oil tankers could be adapted to address those hazards
in an appropriate manner. Based on the above and recognizing that these
floating platforms are stationary when operating, the Committee recommends that
coastal States, flag States and others associated with the design, construction
and operation of FPSOs and FSUs apply the relevant MARPOL Annex I regulations
referred to in annex 1 to the Guidelines. References contained in annex 1
relate to MARPOL Annex I up to and including the amendments contained in
resolution MEPC.276(70).
8 These Guidelines
have been prepared with a view to providing the necessary guidance and
interpretation information which may be specifically applicable to FPSOs and
FSUs, and accordingly represent a single document describing the application of
MARPOL Annex I to these floating platforms.
9 The provisions of
these Guidelines are for application to FPSOs and FSUs when located at their
operating station. However they also take into account the abnormal and rare
circumstances of:
.1 voyages for drydocking, repair or
maintenance work; or
.2 disconnection of the platform in extreme
environmental or emergency conditions.
In either case, the FPSO/FSU should not transport oil to a port or
terminal except with the specific agreement of the flag and relevant coastal
States, obtained on a single voyage basis. When undertaking any voyage away
from the operating station, for whatever purpose, FPSOs and FSUs will be
required to comply with the discharge provisions of MARPOL Annex I for oil
tankers.
10 In order to avoid
development of an entire new text from MARPOL Annex I attending to such
terminology matters and notwithstanding the basis for these Guidelines outlined
above, in any regulation indicated to apply to FPSOs and FSUs by the Guidelines
at annex 1, the following interpretation of terminology should be used:
.1 "oil tanker" should be read as
"FPSO or FSU";
.2 "carry" should be read as
"hold";
.3 "cargo" should be read as
"produced oil and oily mixtures"; and
.4 "voyage" should be read to
include "operations".
11 Oil tanker
requirements that are extended by the Guidelines to apply to FPSOs/FSUs are
identified through the phrase "recommend application" or similar,
while "applies" is used for requirements to be implemented
irrespective of the contents of these Guidelines.
12 The requirement for
oil tankers to undergo enhanced surveys is contained in SOLAS regulation
XI-1/2. Since SOLAS does not apply to the vast majority of FPSOs and FSUs,
which are permanently moored at their operating stations, the relevant oil
tanker requirements of resolution A.1049(27) (2011 ESP Code) have been included
as one of the provisions of the Guidelines in order to ensure a satisfactory
standard of structural integrity for FPSOs and FSUs. Reflecting the operational
characteristics of FPSOs and FSUs, the Guidelines also make provision for
limited departure from resolution A.1049(27) in respect of acceptance of
in-water surveys under conditions which do not compromise safety and pollution
prevention.
13 In implementing the
provisions of these Guidelines, Member Governments are invited to use and
recognize the Record of Construction and Equipment for FPSOs and FSUs at annex
2 in place of Forms A and B appended to MARPOL Annex I.
14 The Committee noted
that most operations of FPSOs and FSUs are different from other ships covered
by MARPOL Annex I and, recognizing that the coastal State has jurisdiction over
fixed and floating platforms operating in waters under its jurisdiction, Member
Governments may find it necessary to depart from the provisions of these
Guidelines. Accordingly, Member Governments are invited to advise the
Organization of their experience in applying these Guidelines so that it can be
taken into account if future amendments to these Guidelines are deemed
necessary.

Port
State control on operational requirements |
Applies
to FPSO/FSU at its operating station, recognizing that under Art. 2(5) and
UNCLOS Arts. 56 and 60, the coastal State exercises sovereign rights for the
purposes of exploration and exploitation of their natural resources. However,
port State control powers are applicable at other times such as if the
FPSO/FSU voyages to a port in another State for maintenance purposes. |

accordance with Reg. 39 and UI 67, applies only to machinery space discharges
and contaminated sea water from operational purposes such as produced oil
tank cleaning water, produced oil tank hydrostatic testing water, water from
ballasting of produced oil tank to carry out inspection by rafting. Since
FPSOs/FSUs and other fixed and floating platforms cannot comply with 15.2.1
when operating on station then these oils and oily mixtures may, with the
agreement of the coastal State: a. be sent ashore; b. be incinerated; c. have water separated and discharged if not exceeding
15 ppm oil content under 34.2; d. be discharged in accordance with this clause
subject to waiver of the en route requirement; e. be added to the production stream; or f. be treated using a combination of these
methods. |
|
15B
|
Discharges
in special areas |
Applicable,
but FPSOs/FSUs cannot comply with 15.3.1 when operating on station. This
requirement should be handled consistent with 15A above. Coastal State may
