EVdB-Newsletter 16-2022
26 oktober 2022 Information to the NTC of the IWT Platform With this newsletter, we inform the members of the Nautical and Technical Committee of the IWT Platform about some ongoing issues. For two topics, we ask your comment (in red). 1. CESNI committee adopts ES-TRIN 2023/1 2. Follow-up Correctly connected bunkering 3. Follow up studies Human factors root causes of accidents in inland navigation 4. Workplan NTC IWT Platform 2023 5. Nautical and infrastructure topics 1. CESNI committee adopts ES-TRIN 2023/1 It is now seven years since the European committee for drawing up standards in the field of inland navigation (CESNI) was established. Its purpose was and is to draft and adopt standards for inland navigation in a variety of areas. These include standards related to vessels, crews and information technologies. At its autumn meeting, the CESNI committee adopted a new version of the European Standard laying down Technical Requirements for Inland Navigation vessels (ES-TRIN). This new ES- TRIN 2023/1 will replace the currently valid ES-TRIN 2021 from 1 January 2024. You can find the ES- TRIN 2023/1 in four languages here: - ES-TRIN 2023/1 - Nederlands - ES-TRIN 2023/1 - Deutsch - ES-TRIN 2023/1 - English - ES-TRIN 2023/1 - Français The IWT Platform is internationally involved in the creation of these technical regulations. Our starting point: regulations should be useful and clear, should not hamper innovation and should facilitate the necessary transition to low-emission or even emission-free inland navigation. From 2015 ES-TRIN - harmonisation at European level ES-TRIN contains provisions for the construction, fittings and equipment of inland waterway vessels and specific provisions for certain categories of vessels. The ES-TRIN has been regularly updated and published by CESNI since 2015. The updates are important because of technological developments and lessons learned from the application of the standard. References to ES-TRIN are now included in the legal frameworks of the EU and the CCNR (respectively directive (EU) 2016/1629 and Rhine vessel inspection regulations). The Danube Commission also decided in 2017 to recommend the standard in its international instruments. In 2023, all the riparian states of the Danube should have implemented the ES-TRIN in their national law. Moreover, the International Sava River Basin Commission intends to create a reference to the standard in its legal framework. In other words, ES-TRIN has been established, with great effort, as the centrepiece and baseline for the technical requirements for inland navigation vessels in Europe and has contributed to the reinforcement of governance and harmonisation at the European level. 1
Changes in ES-TRIN 2023 compared to version 2021 In addition to some editorial corrections, ES-TRIN 2023 includes the following changes compared to version 2021: • low flashpoint fuels and fuel cells, • life jackets, • exhaust gas after-treatment systems, • waste water collection, • permanently installed fire-fighting systems for protecting objects, • passenger vessels, • recreational craft, • electric propulsion engines aft of the afterpeak bulkhead, • repair of engines in service, • retractable wheelhouses, • radar navigation installations and rate-of-turn indicators, • special anchors with reduced mass, • updating of references to the ES-RIS 2023/1. 2. Follow-up Correctly connected bunkering Earlier, the inland navigation industry proposed the topic of 'Correctly connected bunkering' to include in the CESNI work programme (PT 8). This topic was previously coordinated with your committee (mails 9 April and 27 May 2021). Reminder of the problem During bunkering of liquids (fuel, lubricating oil or drinking water), overfills of bunker tanks occur on a regular basis due to incorrect connection by the crew of the vessel. The root cause of these incidents is that the filling connections for lubricating oil, (drinking water) and gas oil are of the same technical design on inland vessels. Therefore it is possible that a crew member of an inland vessel makes a mistake by connecting the hose for gasoil to the wrong filling pipe. Different filling connections are difficult to distinguish from each other. Clear legislation is lacking for lubricating oil connections, compare to gasoil connections (see Article 8.05 (6) ES-TRIN). Later this year, this topic will be discussed within the CESNI/PT working group. It will be proposed to add a paragraph to Article 8.06 ES-TRIN (lubricating oil tanks, pipes and accessories). This table shows the intended addition to Article 8.06 ES- TRIN in four languages: Please read the CONCEPT communication from the IWT Platform: Requirements for filling connections (lubricating oil) - Proposal of amendment. Should you have any comments on this, we would be pleased to hear from you no later than 31 October 2022. 2
