maritime -- Notice to Vessel Operators Subject to the California Ocean-Going Vessel Fuel Regulation.
Posted: 07 Apr 2016 13:46:33
The California Air Resources Board staff has issued an advisory (Marine Notice 2016-1) to vessel operators visiting California ports. The California Ocean-Going Vessel (OGV) Fuel Regulation includes a sunset provision which states that the requirements of the California OGV Fuel Regulation will cease to apply if the United States adopts and enforces requirements that will achieve equivalent emissions reductions to the California OGV Fuel Regulation within Regulated California Waters. After a review of the fuel requirements within the federal North American Emission Control Area (ECA), it was determined that the federal ECA currently would likely not yet achieve equivalent emission reductions within Regulated California Waters. ARB staff plans to reevaluate the ECA in two years as discussed in Marine Notice 2016-1, which is available here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ports/marinevess/documents/marinenote2016_1.pdf All marine notices, advisories and alerts for the California OGV Fuel Regulation can be found at the following: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ports/marinevess/ogv/ogvadvisories.htm Other information for marine vessel programs is available at the following: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ports/marinevess/ogv.htm The California OGV Fuel Regulation provides significant air quality benefits by requiring vessel operators to use cleaner fuel when visiting California ports. If you have any questions, please contact Paul Milkey at (916) 327-2957, or by email at paul.milkey@arb.ca.gov. California is in a drought emergency.
