Driving Factors for Use of LNGDriving Factors for Use of LNG Emission Control Area (ECA)
requirements:Maximum level of sulphur in fuel, all ships:o 10,000 ppm by 1st July 2010o 1,000 ppm by 1st January 2015
Nitrogen emission for new buildings:o 80% reduction in NOx emission
from 2016 on.
Lower cost compared to marine diesel

How to Proceed Without Requirements How to Proceed Without Requirements for Gas Fueled Vessel Design?for Gas Fueled Vessel Design?
Federal Regulations do not address natural gas as fuel
Need to establish equivalency to Title 46 CFR
Vessel-specific concept review
Design Basis – framework of standards and requirements
Equivalent level of safety to Federal Regulations (Title 46 CFR)

Incorporation of Standards in PolicyIncorporation of Standards in PolicyUSCG Policy Letter 01-12
provides streamlined review process
“equivalent level of safety” to 46 CFR
baseline: IMO Interim Guidelines
add’l requirements & modifications
designs outside policy can still apply for “concept Review”
