A change to MARPOL Annex 1 (Chapter 9, Regulation 43) prohibits the use of heavy grade oil (HGO) as ballast in the Antarctic area, which is defined as the sea area south of Latitude 60°S. This new requirement applies to both new and existing ships operating in the Antarctic area from March 1, 2016, and is in addition to the existing Antarctic area ban on carriage of HGO in bulk as cargo or carriage and use as fuel.
The remainder of Regulation 43 remains the same. The specification of HGO is unchanged. If previous operations have included the carriage or use of HGOs, cleaning and flushing of oil pipelines is not required. The ban does not apply to vessels engaged in securing the safety of ships or in search and rescue operations.
