Annex II — Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid 



Substances in Bulk 



regulation 1 — definitions 



For the purposes of this Annex : 



(1) "Chemical tanker" means a ship constructed or adapted primarily to 

 carry a cargo of noxious liquid substances in bulk and includes an oil tanker 

 when carrying a cargo or part cargo of noxious liquid substances in bulk. 



(2) "Clean ballast" means ballast carried in a tank which, since it was last 

 u.sed to carry a cargo containing a susbtance in Categories A, B or C, has been 

 cleaned and the residues resulting therefrom have been discharged in accordance 

 with the appropriate requirements of Regulation 5 of this Annex. 



(3) "Nearest land" is as defined in Regulation 1(9) of Annex I to the present 

 Convention. 



(4) "Liquid substance" means a substance having a vapour pressure not 

 exceeding 2.8 kg/cm " at a temperature of 37.S°C. 



(5) "Noxious substance" means a harmful substance other than oil, sewage 

 or garbage as defined in Annexes I. IV and V respectively. 



regulation 2 — application 



(1) Unless expressly provided otherwise the provisions of this Annex shall 

 apply to all ships carrying noxious liquid substances in bulk [other than sta- 

 tionary ships ^ for which only Regulation 12 of this Annex shall apply]. 



(2) Where chemical tankers carry a cargo of oil and/or discharge oil or oily 

 mixtures the relevant requirements of Annex I shall also apply. 



regulation h — categorization and listing of noxious substances 



(1) For the purpose of the Regulations of this Annex, except Regulation 11. 

 noxious liquid substances shall be divided into three categories. The guidelines 

 used in the categorization of noxious substances are given in Appendix I to 

 this Annex : 



(a) Category A — Substances which if released into the sea from tank cleaning 

 or deballasting operations would present a major hazard to either marine 

 resources or himian health or cause serious harm to amenities or other legiti- 

 mate uses of the sea and therefore justify the application of special measures 

 to prevent their esca))e into the marine environment. 



(b) Category R — Substances which when relea.sed into the sea from tank 

 cleaning or deballasting oi)erations may pre.sent a hazard to either marine 

 resources or human hfaltli or cause liarm to amenities or other legitimate uses 

 of the sea and therefore justify the apjvlication of special anti-pollution measures. 



(c) Category C — Substances which when released into the .sea from tank 

 washing and deballasting operations may present a minor hazard to either 

 marine resources or human health or cau.se minor harm to amenities or other 

 uses of the sea and therefore require special operational conditions. 



(2) The list of noxious liquid substances carried in l»ulk and presentl.v cate- 

 gorized which are subject to the provisions of this Annex is set out in Appendix 

 II to this Annex. 



(3) Where it is proposed to carry a liquid substance in bulk, which has not 

 been categorized under paragraph (1) of this Regulation, nor evaluated as re- 



1 Thp tprm "stationnry ships" misht nped to bp imnroverl. Further consideration should 

 also be iriven to the implications of extending the requirements for fixed platforms to 

 other stationary craft.
