this Annex, all ballast water, including clean ballast water,

and tank washing residues are retained on board and

transferred to the reception facilities and the entry in the

appropriate Sections of the Supplement to the Oil Record Book

referred to in paragraph (3) of this Regulation is endorsed

by the competent Port State authority;

b) agreement has been reached between the

Administration and the Governments of the Port States

referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b) of this Regulation

concerning the use of an existing oil tanker for a specific

trade;

Regulation 13D

EXISTING OIL TANKERS HAVING SPECIAL BALLAST ARRANGEMENTS

1. Where an existing oil tanker is so constructed or operates

in such a manner that it complies at all times with the

draught and trim requirements set out in Regulation 13(2) of

this Annex without recourse to the use of ballast water, it

shall be deemed to comply with the segregated ballast tank

requirements referred to in Regulation 13(7) of this Annex,

provided that all of the following conditions are complied

with:

a) operational procedures and ballast arrangements are

approved by the Administration;

b) agreement is reached between the Administration and the

Governments of the Port States Parties to the present

Protocol concerned when the draught and trim requirements are

achieved through an operational procedure; and

c) the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate is

endorsed to the effect that the oil tanker is operating with

special ballast arrangements.

2. In no case shall ballast water be carried in oil tanks

except on those rare voyages when weather conditions are so

severe that, in the opinion of the master, it is necessary to

carry additional ballast water in cargo tanks for the safety

of the ship. Such additional ballast water shall be processed

and discharged in compliance with Regulation 9 of this Annex

and in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 15 of

this Annex, and entry shall be made in the Oil Record Book

referred to in Regulation 20 of this Annex.

3. An Administration which has endorsed a Certificate in

accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(c) of this Regulation shall

communicate to the Organization the particulars thereof for

circulation to the Parties to the present Protocol.

Regulation 13E

PROTECTIVE LOCATION OF SEGREGATED BALLAST SPACES

1. In every new crude oil tanker of 20,000 tons deadweight

and above and every new product carrier of 30,000 tons

deadweight and above, the segregated ballast tanks required

to provide the capacity to comply with the requirements of

Regulation 13 of this Annex which are located within the

cargo tank length, shall be arranged in accordance with the

requirements of paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of this

Regulation to provide a measure of protection against oil

outflow in the event of grounding or collision.

2. Segregated ballast tanks and spaces other than oil tanks

within the cargo tank length (Lt) shall be so arranged as to

comply with the following requirement:

PAc + PAs J[LT + 2D)]

where:

PAc = the side shell area in square metres for each

segregated ballast tank or space other than an oil tank based

on projected moulded dimensions,

PAs = the bottom shell area in square metres for each such

tank or space based on projected moulded dimensions,

Lt = length in metres between the forward and after

extremities of the cargo tanks,

B = maximum breadth of the ship in metres as defined in

depth shall be measured to the point of intersection of the

moulded lines of the deck and side shell plating, the lines

extending as though the gunwale were of angular design,

J = 0.45 for oil tankers of 20,000 tons deadweight 0.03 for

oil tankers of 200,000 tons deadweight and above, subject to

the provisions of paragraph (3) of this Regulation.

For intermediate values of deadweight the value of J

shall be determined by linear interpolation.

Whenever symbols given in this paragraph appear in this

Regulation, they have the meaning as defined in this

paragraph.

3. For tankers of 200,000 tons deadweight and above the value

of J may be reduced as follows:

J reduced = [J Ñ (a Ñ Oc + Os)] or 0.2

4 OA

whichever is greater

where:

a = 0.25 for oil tankers of 200,000 tons deadweight

a = 0.40 for oil tankers of 300,000 tons deadweight

a = 0.50 for oil tankers of 420,000 tons deadweight and

above,

For intermediate values of deadweight the a shall be

determined by linear interpolation. interpolation.

Oc = as defined in Regulation 23(1)(a) of this Annex,

Os = as defined in Regulation 23(1)(b) of this Annex,

Oa = the allowable oil outflow as required by Regulation

24(2) of this Annex.

4. In the determination of PAc and PAs for segregated ballast

tanks and spaces and other than oil tanks the following shall

apply:

a) the minimum width of each wing tank or space either of

which extends for the full depth of the ship's side or from

the deck to the top of the double bottom shall be not less

than 2 metres. The width shall be measured inboard from the

ship's side at right angles to the centre line. Where a

lesser width is provided the wing tank or space shall not be

taken into account when calculating the protecting area PAc;

and

b) the minimum vertical depth of each double bottom tank or

space shall be B/15 or 2 metres, whichever is the lesser.

Where a lesser depth is provided the bottom tank or space

shall not be taken into account when calculating the

protecting area PAs.

The minimum width and depth of wing tanks and double bottom

tanks shall be measured clear of the bilge area and, in the

case of minimum width, shall be measured clear of any rounded

gunwale area.
