Safety of Navigation - ECDIS
Mandatory carriage of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) for different ship types and sized constructed in the period 2012 to 2018 was adopted at MSC 86
From 1 January 2011 ECDIS is accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirements. From 2002 it may be accepted by the Administration
Use of electronic navigational charts will probably reduce the frequency of groundings by more than one third
It is expected that ECDIS will reduce the risks related to several generic accident scenarios such as groundings, collision and contact

Regulatory drivers - EU climate change political developments
Softening commitment to EU 2020 goals (some countries) due to financial instability
However, "The European Council confirms its determination to honour the ambitious commitments on climate and energy policy“. Complex agreement finalised December ’08. Practical ramifications and impact not clear, but goals for land-based industry are weakened.
European Parliament (EP) agreed revised carbon trading system (ETS) in 2008. Airlines to be included. EP instructed the Commission to consider including shipping by 2013.
Commission has given IMO until end 2011 to act, if not EU will act unilaterally, imposing regional regulations by 2013. In practical terms this is a decision that is both binding and non-revocable.

Regulatory drivers – IMO politics
IMO under strong pressure to deliver results by UNFCCC Copenhagen climate conference (COP15) December 2009
Political barriers - clashing IMO and UNFCCC principles- Significant differences in national positions as regards IMO’s role in curbing
ship emissions of GHG in relation to the mandate of the UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol
- Developing countries (non-Annex I) generally in consensus that IMO must adopt the principles of UNFCCC / Kyoto, i.e. “Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR)”
- This is strongly opposed by delegations of the developed countries (Annex 1), invoking the IMO principle of “No More Favourable Treatment”
- So far not possible to break this impasse, in-depth discussions on application of CO2 regulations, as well as on introduction market based instruments (MBI’s), deferred until MEPC 60 (March 2010)
- Disagreements among MBI advocates on instrument most appropriate for international shipping - bunker tax or emission trading

General Cargo Ship Safety
High rate of accidents are associated with general cargo ships
Documentation confirms that the accident risks are high on general cargo ships compared to other ship types
MSC 83 agreed that:- An FSA analysis of the cause of accidents to be done to identify problem
areas and appropriate risk control options- Develop a definition of “general cargo ship”- Develop a strategy to set a direction on how best to enhance the safety of
these ships
MSC 86 made little progress; waits for IACS FSA
EU does research with the focuses on:- Improvement of technologies for prediction of risks- Safety and survivability of ships to remain afloat in an almost upright position
regardless of damage

Chemical and Product Tankers
MSC 81, July 2006, reviewed a report on incidents of explosions on chemical and product tankers
The analysis revealed that the accidents occurred- For ships < 20,000 DWT- During tank cleaning, venting or gas freeing- When established procedures were not observed onboard- In ships carrying Marpol Annex II cargoes
None of the incidents occurred when inert gas was applied
MSC 83 therefore tasked a sub-committee to consider making inert gas systems mandatory to product tankers < 20,000 DWT by doing a:
- A formal safety assessment, and- A cost/benefit analysis- Considering means to reduce sources of ignition, in-tank pump failures, static
electricity- Safety, operational and environmental issues w. r. t. inert gas systems

IMO strategic plan 2008-2014
1. Globalization a. Freer movement of people, goods, services and information
b. Shipping major facilitator of global trade
c. Shipping standards might be compromised by the forces of liberalization and competition sweeping through the maritime sector
d. Stave off regional or unilateral tendencies which conflicts with IMO regulatory framework will be prioritised
2. Heightened maritime safety concernsa. Implementation of requirements. Flag, port, coastal States, ship-owners and
classification societies are specifically mentioned
3. Heightened maritime security concerns a. Focus on implementation of the ISPS Code without affecting the efficiency
of shipping and port operations

IMO strategic plan 2008-2014
4. Heightened environmental consciousness a. Atmospheric pollution including global warming and recycling
b. Developing effective responses to shipping incidents in order to mitigate their impact on the environment
5. People at seaa. Focus on protection of lives at sea through success of search and rescue
operations and ensuring the adequacy of all systems used. Important safety issues that make concerns: the new and bigger passenger vessels, increased use of ferries and HSLC, migrants, piracy, armed robbery and fishers' lives
6. The importance of capacity building in ensuring universal and uniform application of IMO instruments. There are concerns about the long-term financial sustainability of the ITCP (Integrated Technical Co-operation Programme) which assists developing countries

7. Shifting emphasis onto people. Place increased emphasis on the contribution of the human element to safer, more secure and environmentally friendly shipping
8. Technology as a major driving force for change in the maritime transport sector. Developments in communications and information technology will provide opportunities to develop knowledge management so as to increase transparency and accessibility to information

The increasing EU Regulatory Role
Strong political drive to avoid oil pollution in EU waters
Increased focus on competitiveness of European Industry
A general belief that IMO works too slowly, hence many new regulatory initiatives developed and implemented unilaterally
EMSA will take an increasingly stronger role as the EU maritime technical arm

More and more detailed international regulations covering more areas than today
Environmental regulations will be in focus in the near future, and we will see a shift from local to global regulations (from NOx/SOx to CO2)
Increased focus on liability for all partners within the maritime industry
Corporate Social Responsibility will play an increasing role in shaping the maritime industry
In the future we will get
