(2) Process for the designation of emission control areas (a) A proposal to the Organization for the designation of an emission control area for NO x or SO x and particulate matter or all three types of emissions may be submitted only by Central Government. Where any other state(s) is have an interest in a particular area, a coordinated proposal should be formulated by the Central Government. (b) A proposal to designate a given area as an emission control area should be submitted to the Organization in accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Organization. 3 Criteria for designation of an emission control area (a) The proposal shall include: (i) a clear delineation of the proposed area of application, along with a reference chart on which the area is marked; (ii) the type or types of emission(s) that is or are being proposed for control (i.e. NO x or SO x and particulate matter or all three types of emissions); (iii) a description of the human populations and environmental areas at risk from the impacts of vessel emissions; (iv) an assessment that emissions from vessels operating in the proposed area of application are contributing to ambient concentrations of air pollution or to adverse environmental impacts. Such assessment shall include a description of the impacts of the relevant emissions on human health and the environment, such as adverse impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, areas of natural productivity, critical habitats, water quality, human health, and areas of cultural and scientific significance, if applicable. The sources of relevant data including methodologies used shall be identified; (v) relevant information, pertaining to the meteorological conditions in the proposed area of application, to the human populations and environmental areas at risk, in particular prevailing wind patterns, or to topographical, geological, oceanographic, morphological or other conditions that contribute to ambient concentrations of air pollution or adverse environmental impacts; (vi) the nature of the vessel traffic in the proposed emission control area, including the patterns and density of such traffic; (vii) a description of the control measures taken by the proposing Party or Parties addressing land -based sources of NO x, SO x and particulate matter emissions affecting the human populations and environmental areas at risk that are in place and operating concurrently with the consideration of measures to be adopted in relation to provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 of First Schedule to these rules; and (viii) the relative costs of reducing emissions from vessels when compared with land -based controls, and the economic impacts on shipping engaged in international trade. (b) The geographical limits of an emission control area will be based on the relevant criteria outlined above, including emissions and deposition from vessels navigating in the proposed area, traffic patterns and density, and wind conditions. (4) Procedures for the assessment and adoption of emission control areas by the Organization (a) The Organization shall consider each proposal submitted to it by a Party or Parties. (b) In assessing the proposal, the Organization shall take into account the criteria that are to be included in each proposal for adoption as set forth in section 3 above.

A copy of the FONAR should be kept on board for inspection for at least 36 months 5. This report should be used to provide evidence if a ship is unable to obtain fuel oil compliant with the provisions stipulated in regulations 14.1 or 14.4 of MARPOL Annex VI. 6. Before filing a FONAR, the following should be observed by the ship/operator (a) A fuel oil non -availability report is not an exemption. According to regulation 18.2 of MARPOL Annex VI, it is the responsibility of the Party of the destination port, through its competent authority, to scrutinize the information provided and take action, as appropriate. (b) In the case of insufficiently supported and/or repeated claims of non - availability, the Party may require additional documentation and substantiation of fuel oil non -availability claims. The ship/operator may also be subject to more extensive inspections or examinations while in port. (c) Ships/operators are expected to take into account logistical conditions and/or terminal/port policies when planning bunkering, including but not limited to having to change berth or anchor within a port or terminal in order to obtain compliant fuel. 48 In the event of any transfer of a ship addressed in regulations 27.4, 27.5, 27.6, these sections should be completed consistent with regulation 28.3 of MARPOL Annex VI. (d) Ships/operators are expected to prepare as far as reasonably practicable to be able to operate on compliant fuel oils. This could include, but is not limited to, fuel oils with different viscosity and different sulphur content not exceeding regulatory requirements (requiring different lube oils) as well as requiring heating and/or other treatment on board. 3 Particulars of ship 3.1 Name of the ship: …………………………………………… 3.2 IMO Number: ………………………………………… 3.3 Flag: …………………………………………………… 3.4 (if other relevant registration number is available, enter here): …………………….. 4 Description of ship’s voyage plan 4.1 Provide a description of the ship’s voyage plan in lace at the time of entry into “country X” waters (and ECA, if applicable) (attach copy of plan if available): ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 4.2 Details of voyage: 4.2.1 Last port of departure: ……………………………………..……. 4.2.2 First port of arrival in (Country X) ………………………………… 4.2.3 Date of departure from last port (dd -mm-yyyy) ………………………………….. 4.2.4 Date of arrival at first country X: …………………………………. 4.2.5 Date ship first received notice that it would be transiting in country X waters (and ECA, if appliable) (dd -mm-yyyy) ……………………………………….. 4.2.6 Ship’s location at the time of notice …………………………………… 4.2.7 Date ship operator expects to enter country X waters (and ECA, if applicable) (dd-mm-yyyy) ……………………………….. 4.2.8 Time ship operator expects to enter country X waters (and ECA, if applicable) (hh:mm UTC) : ……………………………………….. 4.2.9 Date ship operator expects to exit "country X" waters (and ECA, if applicable) (dd-mm-yyyy): ……………………………….. 4.2.10 Time ship operator expects to exit "country X" waters (and ECA, if applicable) (hh:mm UTC): …………………………………. 4.2.11 Projected days ship's main propulsion engines will be in operation within "country X" waters (and ECA, if applicable): …………………………………. 4.2.12 Sulphur content of fuel oil in use when entering and operating in "country X" waters (and ECA, if applicable): ……………………………………. 3 Evidence of attempts to purchase compliant fuel oil 3.1 Provide a description of actions taken to attempt to achieve compliance prior to entering "country X" waters (and ECA, if applicable), including a description of all attempts that were made to locate alternative sources of compliant fuel oil, and a description of the reason why compliant fuel oil was not available: ………………………………………………. 3.2 Name and email address of suppliers contacted, address and phone number and date of contact (dd -mm-yyyy):………………………………….……………………………………………... …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Please attach copies of communication with suppliers (eg.
