Regulation 2(4) - Ozone depleting substances

Parent topic: MARPOL Annex VI

Regulation 2(4) reads as follows:

 New installations, in relation to regulation 12 of this annex, means the installation of systems, equipment, including new portable fire-extinguishing units, insulation, or other material on a ship after the date on which this Annex enters into force, but excludes repair or recharge of previously installed systems, equipment, insulation, or other material, or recharge of portable fire-extinguishing units.

Interpretation:

 For application of this regulation the term "new installations" should be interpreted as follows:

  • (a) For new ships, installations on board ships the keels of which are laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 19 May 2005.

  • (b) For existing ships, new installations with a contractual delivery date to the ship on or after 19 May 2005 or, in the absence of a contractual delivery date, the actual delivery of the equipment to the ship on or after 19 May 2005.

The same interpretation should apply with regard to new HCFC installations but with the substitution of '1 January 2020' in place of 19 May 2005.
