CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Voluntary Class Notations for Ships which are Designed, Built and
Operated in a way that Gives Additional Protection to the Environment

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

CLEAN: Voluntary Class Notation for Deep Sea Transport Vessels which are
Designed, Built and Operated in a way that Gives Additional Protection to the
Environment

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

CLEAN DESIGN: Voluntary Class Notation for Coastal and Passenger
Vessels which are Designed, Built and Operated in a way that Gives
Additional Protection to the Environment

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Typically CLEAN and

CLEAN DESIGN cover:

CLEAN - Marpol Compliance with limited number of

additional requirements
CLEAN DESIGN - As for
CLEAN, but with additional
requirements, including design
requirements for avoiding and
limiting consequence of
accidents

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Common requirements

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

ISM - To be implemented
ERS - Vessel included in ERS scheme by IACS member
Ballast water management plan - To be implemented
Fuel oil management plan - To be implemented
Garbage management plan - To be implemented

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Common requirements

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

E0/ECO - Technical requirements to be fulfilled
Fuel oil - Added substances or chemical waste not
permitted
Antifouling - Limitation in use of TBT
Double skin tankers - All tankers for oil to be arranged
acc. to MARPOL 73/78, Annex I, reg. 13F

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Covers 3 main areas of

environmental concern

Air, operational emissions

Sea, operational discharges

Defensive Design, accident

prevention and
consequence limitation

(Clean Design only)

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Emissions to AIR cover the following systems and
pollutants:
Incinerators
Propulsion
Systems
NOx and SOx

Power
Generation
NOx and SOx

Cargo
Evaporation
Fire Fighting

Refrigerants

CLEAN and CLEAN DESIGN

Emissions to AIR:
