The United States of America understands that the Protocol of 1997 does not, as a
matter of international law, prohibit Parties from imposing, as a condition of entry
into their ports or internal waters, more stringent emission standards or fuel oil
requirements than those identified in the Protocol.
The United States of America understands that Regulation 15 applies only to safety
aspects associated with the operation of vapour emission control systems that may
be applied during cargo transfer operations between a tanker and port-side facilities
and to the requirements specified in Regulation 15 for notification to the International
Maritime Organization of port State regulation of such systems.
The United States of America notes that at the time of adoption of the Protocol of
1997, the NOx emission control limits contained in Regulation 13 were those agreed
as being achievable by January 1 2000, on new marine diesel engines, and further notes
that Regulation 13(3)(b) contemplated that new technology would become available to
reduce on-board NOx emissions below those limits. As such improved technology is now
available, the United States expresses its support for an amendment to Annex VI that
would, on an urgent basis, revise the agreed NOx emission control limits contained
in Regulation 13 in keeping with new technological developments.
