HOWEVER
Flag state may allow single-hull 5,000 dwt and above with db or ds to
continue with HGO up to 25th anniversary (even beyond 2015)
Flag state may allow single-hull 5,000 dwt and above to continue with
HGO between 900 and 945 kg/cubic meter until 25th anniversary or
2015 whichever is earlier, subject to CAS
Flag state may allow single-hull 600-4,999 dwt to continue with HGO

FPSOs/FSUs
a. FPSOs and FSUs are not oil tankers and are not to be used
for the transport of oil except that, with the specific
agreement by the flag and relevant coastal States on a
voyage basis,
b. Conversion of an oil tanker to an FPSO or FSU or vice
versa should not be construed as a major conversion as
defined in regulation 1(8)
c. There are five categories of discharges that may be
associated with the operation of an FPSO or FSU:
1. machinery space drainage;
2. offshore processing drainage;
3. production water discharge;
4. displacement water discharge; and
5. contaminated seawater from operational purposes such
as produced oil tank cleaning water, produced oil tank
hydrostatic testing water, water from ballasting of
produced oil tank to carry out inspection by rafting.
