Whether the H/C minimum would be the same for both the fuel standard and BC ECAs would be a point for discussion and would be dependent on whether BC ECAs would set stricter requirements for BC emissions in or near to the Arctic or aim to reduce BC emissions from further afield. [...] I:\MEPC\81\MEPC 81-5-5.docx MEPC 81/5/5 Page 4 Action requested of the Committee 11 The Committee is invited to urgently agree on the need for mandatory measures to achieve the fast and immediate action to reduce BC emissions called for by the IPCC and to consider the approach set out in the annex. [...] While "Black Carbon" has already been defined by the Committee, and "Marine Distillate Fuel" is described in ISO 8217:2017, the development of an appropriate definition of "Arctic" for MARPOL Annex VI will be essential to the effective delivery of IMO's output to address the impact of Black Carbon emissions from ships in the Arctic. [...] Chapter 3 – Requirements for Control of Emissions from Ships Regulation 15bis (new Regulation 16) – Black Carbon Special Requirements for Ships Operating in the Arctic 1 Marine distillate fuel or other alternative fuels or methods of propulsion that are safe for ships and contribute to the reduction of Black Carbon emissions shall be used by all ships operating in the Arctic on or after __________. [...] The volume of non-compliant fuel in each tank as well as the date, time, and position of the ship when any fuel changeover operation is completed prior to the entry into an emission control area or commenced after exit from such an area shall be recorded in such logbook or electronic record book as prescribed by the Administration." Appendix X Criteria and procedures for the designation of emissio.
