IMO and us legislation ballast water treatment systems rk
As of January 1st, 2016, ships are no longer allowed to discharge ballast in US waters unless their ballast water treatment (BWT) systems comply with strict USCG demands. There are effectively two sets of regulations regarding BWT standards from the USCG and IMO, making it difficult for shipowners to find a solution. The key difference is that the USCG requires systems to kill organisms in ballast water, while the IMO only requires systems ensure organisms do not reproduce. Optimarin is nearing the end of a $3 million program seeking USCG approval for its UV ballast water treatment system, which it claims could be the first UV system to meet USCG requirements.

2017 IBWSS: 'Safety Risks in Shared Waterways Focus of NTSB Safety Recommenda...International Boating and Water Safety Summit
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued a report identifying the risks associated with the shared use of America’s Marine Transportation System by recreational and commercial vessels. The growth of both commercial and recreational vessel traffic during the last several decades is a significant risk factor. The number of canoers, kayakers, and standup paddleboarders increased by nearly 22 percent between 2008 and 2014. The diversity of waterway users and their differences in experience, navigational knowledge, and boat-handling skills exacerbate the safety risk.
The NTSB concludes in its safety recommendation report “Shared Waterways: Safety of Recreational and Commercial Vessels in the Marine Transportation System” that all recreational vessel operators need to attain a minimum level of boating safety education to mitigate risk. In addition, the NTSB believes the U.S. Coast Guard should require recreational boaters on US navigable waterways to demonstrate completion of an instructional course meeting the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators or equivalent standards. “Just as operators of motor vehicles upon our nation’s roadways are required to demonstrate a standard of understanding of the rules of the road in order to make roadways safer for all vehicles, large and small, so too must operators of recreational vessels understand and practice the rules of the road upon our nation’s maritime transportation system to make waterways safer for all vessels, large and small,” said NTSB Chairman Christopher A. Hart.
The NTSB issued three safety recommendations to the US Coast Guard, one to the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and one the National Water Safety Congress in the report. These recommendations address the need to identify and mitigate risks associated with shared waterways, and training and education for recreational vessel operators.Annex I

MARITIME MISHAPS AND THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK RELATING TO MARITIME SAFETY IN UGANDA
Tajudeen Sanni (PhD)
Abstract
There have been several incidents of maritime mishaps resulting in loss of lives in East Africa inland waters, including Uganda’s. On September 20, 2018, not less than 200 persons died when MV Nyereere capsized on Lake Victoria. According to Lake Rescue, a volunteer organization promoting maritime safety, more than 5000 persons die annually in maritime accidents on Lake Victoria, African largest water body shared by Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. This figure doesn’t include incidents in other waters. This raises serious questions on maritime governance in the region in general and member countries in particular. One particular issue in this regard is whether there are gaps in the law and practice of maritime safety which need to be addressed to forestall these unfortunate incidents. In the particular case of Uganda, it is apposite examining the relevant legal and policy framework to that effect. This would require examining the position of the law relating to registration of water vessels, training of vessels crew and use of relevant maritime infrastructure such as communication gear .The importance of the regulatory regime thereof cannot be overemphasized .The analysis would, therefore , require examining the institutional framework put in place to make the law work. The primary methodology that will be employed is doctrinal analysis of the primary legal sources. On the basis of this, recommendations are made for the purpose of improving the law and practice of maritime safety on Ugandan waters.

Emergency response on Indian Coast Some case studies and recommendations
This document discusses several ship accidents and emergencies that occurred off the coast of India and provides recommendations to improve maritime emergency response capabilities. It summarizes several cases where ships collided or sank, in some cases resulting in loss of life, oil spills, or blocked shipping channels. The document concludes by recommending that India ratify international conventions on salvage and compensation, acquire dedicated emergency response vessels, utilize existing port infrastructure to respond to incidents, leverage tracking systems like AIS, and establish a designated authority to coordinate emergency responses.
Shared waters
There are several international agreements that govern the management of shared water resources between countries. This includes the Helsinki Rules which provide for equitable distribution of water between states that share rivers or watercourses. The SADC Protocol on Shared Watercourses of 1995 binds member states in the Southern African Development Community to equal sharing of water in rivers crossing their territories and to cooperate on conservation. The Permanent Commission on the Okavango Basin establishes consultation between Botswana, Namibia, and Angola regarding use of the Okavango River. Botswana is also party to the Ramsar Convention which designates wetlands of international importance like the Okavango Delta and emphasizes sustainable use.

EU, US Oppose India's Demand for Special and Differential Treat
- WTO members are discussing an agreement to prohibit subsidies that lead to unsustainable fishing. India agrees subsidies should be prohibited but wants special treatment for developing countries.
- India is a large fish producer and exporter, with Rs 7.5 billion in fisheries subsidies in 2017-18. The US and EU say flexibility cannot mean a blanket exemption for developing countries.
- India plans to submit a draft proposing subsidies for small fishing boats, nets and fuel in developing countries to protect livelihoods. If approved, this would allow some subsidies critical for small-scale fishers.

The PNA Vessel Day Scheme
The document summarizes the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA), a subregional fisheries management organization consisting of 8 Pacific Island countries. It outlines the background and objectives of the PNA, including establishing a vessel day scheme (VDS) to limit fishing effort. The VDS uses a tradable day system that sets annual limits and has increased fishing revenues for PNA countries from $60 million in 2010 to over $300 million currently. Issues discussed include ensuring competitive bidding processes and addressing increasing vessel fishing power. Recommendations focus on strengthening the PNA institutionally and through legal and VDS reforms while maintaining flexibility.
Jonathan spremulli liberia[1]
This document summarizes how Liberia plans to implement the Maritime Labour Convention of 2006. It will do so by ensuring seafarers' rights to decent work and fair competition through regulations on medical care, shipowners' liability, social security, employment agreements, and flag state responsibilities. Liberia has over 3,800 vessels in its fleet and will train inspectors and provide guidelines to shipowners on complying with the Convention's standards regarding areas like health, wages, and repatriation. The presentation provides an overview of Liberia's large, high-quality fleet and regulatory approach to upholding seafarers' welfare under international maritime law.
Thesis Paper
The document discusses the Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention and its impact on shipping operations and liability. It summarizes that the convention aims to clarify responsibilities and require insurance for wreck removal, addressing gaps in previous laws. It analyzes key aspects of the convention including expanded definitions of hazards and interests, mandatory insurance for ships over 300 tons, and placing liability on registered owners. The convention establishes uniform international standards for prompt wreck removal in areas beyond territorial waters.
DISSERTATION LAST VERSION 22
This document is a dissertation submitted by Deniz Genoglu to Liverpool John Moores University analysing the extent to which the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) satisfies the needs of the maritime industry. The dissertation aims to compare regional shipping MoUs on port state control, analyse the fulfilment of port state control functions by the Paris MoU, and identify disadvantages to stakeholders of implementing port state control. Through a literature review and questionnaires distributed to shipping companies and master mariners, the dissertation establishes that the main cause of maritime accidents is non-compliance with safety standards. The respondents generally agree that port state control inspections through the Paris MoU help improve maritime safety, though some differences exist in views on enforcement between countries.

L14 waste
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to several environmental problems related to waste disposal, air pollution, and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of waste that is difficult to dispose of due to lack of infrastructure and money. Waste provides income to those who scavenge and extract materials from it, but toxic waste poses serious health risks. Electronic waste disposal is a major issue as people break down devices and risk exposure to heavy metals without realizing the health effects. Overall, expanding cities strain waste disposal systems and pollute the environment due to insufficient regulations and emergency planning for their rapid growth.

L14 waste
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to several environmental problems related to waste disposal, air pollution, and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of waste that is difficult to dispose of due to lack of infrastructure and money. Waste provides income to those who scavenge and extract materials from it, but toxic waste poses serious health risks. Electronic waste disposal is a major issue as people break down devices and risk exposure to heavy metals without realizing the health effects. Overall, expanding cities strain waste disposal systems and pollute the environment due to insufficient regulations and emergency planning for their rapid growth.

BWC-White-Paper-Rev-01
This document discusses the challenges that operators in the project cargo market face in complying with regulations for ballast water management. The key points are:
1. Regulations from the IMO and USCG aim to prevent the transfer of invasive species in ballast water by imposing limits on organisms in discharges. This creates uncertainty for vessel owners about compliance.
2. Operators in the project cargo market face particular challenges as existing compliance methods can be difficult for heavy lift and barge vessels.
3. Barges are still required to comply with regulations even though they transport less ballast water. However, exemptions may be possible depending on the barge's trade routes. Ensuring compliance or applying for exemptions well

The document provides information and guidelines for conducting voluntary vessel safety checks (VSCs) presented by the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office Marine Division. It defines key terms related to boating safety and outlines the procedures and scope of VSCs. VSCs are a voluntary check of a vessel's safety equipment and compliance with boating laws performed by certified examiners. While they promote boater education, VSCs are not a law enforcement action and cannot result in citations for safety violations. The goal is to minimize accidents and loss of life through encouraging voluntary compliance with boating safety laws.
Hawaii Boating Regulation Q&A
Beginning November 10, 2014, all individuals operating motorized vessels in Hawaii's state waters must have a boating safety certification. A 2007 study showed states with mandatory boating education had the lowest boating fatality rates. Hawaii had the fifth highest fatality rate in the study and the second highest in 2011. The new rule aims to improve water safety similar to licensing requirements for driving. Acceptable boating safety courses must be approved by NASBLA and Hawaii. A variety of online, home study, and classroom courses will be available to meet the requirements.

The document discusses shipping regulations and enforcement in the United States, particularly regarding emissions control areas (ECAs). It notes that stricter enforcement of ECA fuel sulfur limits is expected, as non-compliance could provide an unfair competitive advantage. Violators may face significant fines or penalties, though minor technical violations may result in lighter penalties. The California Air Resources Board fined an ocean carrier over $129,000 for failing to switch to low-sulfur fuel within 24 nautical miles of California as required. ECA regulations are aimed at improving air quality and reducing health costs.Group Final Presentation.ppt (1)

Life Jacket Website
The Life Jacket Association website provides information about life jackets to recreational boating safety professionals and the public. The website was launched with grant funding from the US Coast Guard. For professionals, it offers training tools, outreach materials, and information on legal requirements and new life jacket labels. For the public, it explains life jacket styles, purchasing tips, and state laws. It aims to educate about the importance of life jacket use through comparison of old and new label systems. Frequently asked professional questions center around terminology changes and ensuring state law and compliance updates with the new labels.
State Boating Safety & Marine Law Enforcement Outreach
We will briefly discuss how two players on the same team approach life jacket messaging. Our officers enforce life jacket laws and encourage the wearing of life jackets. As an outreach coordinator, we remind people of the legal requirements for life jackets when boating, but our main focus is on encouraging everyone to wear a life jacket. This is a different message than delivering the message of mandatory carriage or wear. Our goal is to give a better perspective on the opportunities and challenges the states have in the world of PFDs.
