7、mber 2009 version plus Notice No. 1 Foreword Foreword Since the introduction of the ABS Guide for the Class Notation Environmental Safety (ES) in March 2001, technological advancements have occurred that help to diminish the impact of environmental discharges. Also, international treaties and conven
8、tions, aimed at further protecting the environment, have introduced more stringent requirements towards the prevention of environmental pollution. This Guide is for the use of designers, builders, Owners, and Operators in the marine industry and specifies the ABS requirements and criteria for obtain
9、ing the optional notations Environmental Protection (ENVIRO) or Environmental Protection Plus (ENVIRO+) for vessels. The ENVIRO notation identifies the level of compliance with international environmental protection requirements and integrates associated ABS requirements which influence environmenta
10、l protection. For the ENVIRO+ notation, this Guide invokes compliance with more stringent criteria for environmental protection related to design characteristics, management and support systems, sea discharges, and air discharges. This Guide supersedes the ABS Guide for the Class Notation Environmen
11、tal Safety (ES), March 2001 (Updated June 2008). Those vessels which currently have an ES notation will continue to be eligible to maintain the ES notation, provided the requirements contained within the ES Guide continue to be satisfied. Vessels under construction as of the date this Guide becomes
12、effective may receive the ES notation, provided that the ES notation was requested prior to the date this Guide becomes effective. A vessel is “under construction”, for purposes of this provision, if the contract date for construction between the shipbuilder and the prospective owner is prior to the
13、 date this Guide becomes effective. The ENVIRO or the ENVIRO+ notations are available to vessels contracted for construction after the effective date of this Guide and those existing vessels which currently maintain the ES notation provided the requirements contained in this Guide are satisfied. The
14、 effective date of this Guide is the first day of the month of publication.

25、 .2009 Section 1: General SECTION 1 General 1 Scope and Application This Guide has been developed with the objective of promoting an environmentally focused design, construction, and operation of ABS-classed vessels. The requirements specified in this Guide are additional to all other relevant requi
26、rements of ABS Rules and Guides. This Guide identifies a foundational level which establishes that a vessel complies with international environmental regulations and associated ABS Rules or Guides which are aimed at enhancing environmental protection. In addition, it establishes standards for a high
27、er level of environmental protection that can be achieved through compliance with more stringent criteria related to design characteristics, management and support systems, sea discharges, and air discharges. Vessels designed, constructed, and operated in compliance with the foundational requirement
28、s of this Guide may be assigned a class notation ENVIRO, Environmental Protection. Vessels in compliance with the higher level requirements of this Guide may be assigned a class notation ENVIRO+, Environmental Protection Plus. 3 Basis of Notation In general, the requirements of this Guide are based
29、on applicable international regulations and standards. If an international regulation or standard has been adopted by its oversight authority (regardless of the status of the ratification process), it is applicable to the appropriate notations of this Guide. Where a flag or port Administration or lo
30、cal governmental authority has additional requirements related to environmental protection that are not addressed by this Guide, it is the responsibility of the Owner or Operator to comply with such regulations. 3.1 ENVIRO Notation Compliance with the applicable requirements of Annexes I, II, IV, V,
31、 and VI to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, MARPOL 73/78, as amended, is a prerequisite for receiving the class notation ENVIRO. See Section 3 of this Guide for additional requirements. 3.3 ENVIRO+ Notation Compliance with applicable requirements of the ENVIRO
32、 notation and Annexes I, II, IV, V, and VI to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, MARPOL 73/78, as amended, is a prerequisite for receiving the class notation ENVIRO+.
