ECA

国际海事组织IMO于2010年5月13日发布通函“INFORMATION ON NOTTH AMERICAN EMISSION CONTROL AREA（ECA），MEPC.1/Circ.723”。

北美海岸线包括美国200海里以内，到加州最近岸线包括各岛屿外侧24海里以外的区域内，船舶必须使用硫含量不超过0.1%的燃油。该规定于2015年1月1日生效。但是，如果由于一些特殊原因，驶往加拿大或美国的船舶无法添加低硫燃油，而不能遵守低硫控制区（ECA）的要求，船东必须出示证明，证明船东已经采取了获得低硫燃油的尝试而未果，美国和加拿大将针对船舶不符合低硫控制区要求一事，采取一事一议的方式，考虑是否对船舶开具罚单。

ECRC证书

ECRC Eastern Canada Response Corp/东部加拿大港专用防油污协议

WCMRC Western Canada Response Corp/西部加拿大港专用防污协议

作用类似中国SPRO和美国QI，有效期为一年。由船东负责相关证书更新和费用，进入加拿大水域前必须持有。

备舱和验舱

Transport Canada对于验舱的要求很高，船舶需谨慎仔细备舱。应充分考虑到冬季北大西洋恶劣天气的影响，卸货期间可安排人员提前清理(欧洲国家卸货一般不会很干净)。特别注意货仓污水井的清理和污水井盖的放置，此货物为粉末状且含水量较大，运输途中需每天排水并记录。也需防止货物流入污水井，如货物进入污水井，清理工作将是噩梦。

验舱人员通过船中gangway或引水梯登离(只放置铝梯)，梯子必须安置安全网。拖轮通过自带简易梯搭在船梯上下。

Canadian Carrier Code

进入加拿大水域前，船舶需持有CBSA分配的Canadian carrier code(船舶运输代码-数字和字母组成的四位代码)。此code由租家提供，收悉后转发给代理。

压载水更换

离最近陆地200海里以上，其它规定与美国等国家压载水更换要求一样。应特别注意抵港前空压载舱冲刷操作，加拿大建议抵港时的空舱需进行冲刷，具体步骤如下：

1. 离岸200海里，水深2000米以上。

2. 空舱压入7%-20%/total capacity并高于30cm的压载水。

3. 压载水留在空舱内4-6小时，使其能充分与残留淤泥等混合。

4. 4-6小时后将压载水全部排出。

圣伦斯湾内Right Whale Protection Zone

圣劳伦斯湾是全球5个最佳赏鲸地点之一，可想而知鲸鱼之多，露脊鲸生殖和产子均会在冬季时进行，所以喜好在圣劳伦斯湾内活动。湾内划有露脊鲸Right Whale的保护区，在规定季节期限内，所有超过20米的船舶在该保护区中航行时，需将船舶对地速度降至10节以下，直至最终驶离该保护区（任何违反该规定的行为，将被处以最高2,5000加币罚款）。

如发现right whale踪迹、被网等缠住、死亡、受伤等情况时，应及时通知Traffic。每年保护区范围可能有所微调：

1. 固定减速区（粉红区域）：自2019年4月28日起至11月15日，所有总长超过(含)20米的船舶在圣劳伦斯港西部、安提科斯提岛附近指定区域内以不超过10节的速度航行。

2. 临时减速区（绿色A.B.C.D区域）：当有露脊鲸出现在航道附近时，可在南、北安提科斯提岛航线开启航行限速。每次限速将持续15天。如果15天内没有看到监测到露脊鲸出现，限速将在这段时间结束时解除。

3. 任何临时限速都要求强制遵守。包括限速区地图等详细信息，可登陆加拿大交通部官网“Protecting North Atlantic Right Whales from collision with ships in the Gulf of St. Lawrence”

如有疑问请在进入此区域前询问当地代理-该保护区是否仍然有效, 或咨询VTS。

防冻措施 / ICE PILOT

Capesize船舶基本在Sepitles和Port Cartier两港装货，两港相隔只有20多海里。气候情况一样，但sepitles属于环形港口，易形成浮冰。进入十一月后，该区域温度持续降低（11月份可达到零下10度，12/01/02月将逐渐降至零下20-30多度，3月后气温逐渐回升）,在此期间停靠该区域，应特别注意防冻措施和潜在冰损事故：

1. 个人保暖和防护设备配备到位。

2. 申请救生艇和救助艇燃油防冻剂(Diesel Oil anti-Gel and Conditioner)和除冰剂(Calcium Chloride氯化钙).

3. 压载水更换期间，选择压入较暖海水（Mexico gulf stream），所有压载舱保持主甲板下20cm以上空隙（避免压载水冰冻时冻裂压载舱）。

4. 最大限度增加首尾吃水，使螺旋桨在水面下有足够沉深。压载舱最大限度置于水线下，以便减缓温度流失。

5. 所有压载舱Sounding Pipe适当投入Calcium Chloride(切勿投入过多，氯化钙水溶不彻底时极易钙化，非常坚硬，将会完全堵塞量水孔)。量水孔盖子保持松开，确保当量水孔内压载水完全冰冻时能有空隙释放力量。如出现重度冰冻(厚度超过20cm时)，氯化钙已无用，此时不要向Sounding Pipe内继续投放。

6. 锚地候泊期间，压载舱最容易冰冻。加强压载水舱观测，如需要及时打开高柜Manhole,便于观察舱内冰冻情况。如压载舱间有内循环设计，请一直保持循环状态。同时定时循环压载管系中残水或将其完全扫出，以免冻住。切记如空仓内压载道门有动过时，在卸货港压载时必须安排人员下去检查，防止道门盖漏水。

7. 应急消防泵、应急发电机处所、救生艇和救助艇马达处必要时加装外部加热设备(如大功率照明灯、加热器等)，保证其处于立即可用状态。

8. 注意及时放空甲板消防和淡水管路残水，必要时关闭隔离阀。甲板消防管系放残时，一定安排专人值守，保证管系内残水完全排净，方可离开（曾有船舶因为放残阀冻住，导致管系内水冻住而导致滞留）。

9. Sepitles和Port Cartier港当地除冰公司为：d.hmarineservices@cgocable.ca

10. 加强预热和循环缆车和开仓液压系统。尤其注意远端的液压马达，由于此分管路离主液压管路较远，起不到循环和导热效果。应提前加装外部加热系统，如用帆布遮住马达，并放置大功率灯具进行空间加热(也有船舶在马达体上安装加热丝，此方法使用时需谨慎)。

进入一月份后，圣劳伦斯湾内浮冰增多。进出圣劳伦斯湾的船舶可申请ICE PILOT（一般由租家安排，约6,000CAD），引水登离点在码头和Sydney Pilot Station / 46-18.5N 060-07W。

自12月21日至次年4月15日，Spetiles和Port Cartier两港破冰船服务可用，Inbound/Outbound 收费各3,000加元。

由于持续的低温影响，一旦浮冰大面积形成，只能等到次年4月份才会完全解冻。

以上为2月中旬冰情卫星图（2-3月下旬浮冰最多），可见Belle Isle strait和其入口处自2月份起完全冰封，该区域已不适合安全航行。此时需选择南部航线进出，避开重浮冰区，以免造成船体、螺旋桨和舵等损伤。

Notification/Sea Protest

1. 如预计靠离期间，将遇见浮冰。应视情况提前通过代理提交以下Notification给港口当局和引水机构。

To: Port authority of Port Cartier

To: Pilot of Port Cartier

Cc: Arcelormittal Mines Canada. Inc

Fm: MV. ******x

Date: 27-Dec-2018

Dear All

Good day

According to the unique conditions for berthing in Port Cartier during winter months and the temperature on 28-Dec-2018 will be descended below minus 20 degrees, the chance of encountered heavy floating ice may arise during berthing.

For the reason of safety of ship and her belongings, please kindly be notified that so far as practicable, the vessel will not operate the astern engine to stop making way or to make way astern where the floating ice is around the vessel hull to prevent highly potential damage to propeller blades and Rudder. In this regard, please provide your advice/ recommendation on additional measures to be taken for the safe passage/ maneuvering to and from the berth.

2. 抵近浮冰海域前，对驾驶台值班人员进行相关培训和提醒。如观察到浮冰应及时通知相关人员。船长应准备Sea Protest描述当时浮冰情况和可能潜在的船体/机械等损伤，与海务沟通后发给相关各方，最大限度保护船东和管理公司利益。

Marine Sea Protest

Please be kindly advise that MV *********x of voyage 1806 under my command, departed from Rotterdam on 17-Dec-2018 and arrived at Port Cartier on 26-Dec-2018 and berthed on 28-Dec-2018，Observed heavy floating ice congested around vessel during anchoring and berthing.

During this period on26-Dec-2018 &28-Dec-2018,she experienced extreme cold weather conditions, The temperature of outdoor descended below minus 20 degrees and most ballast tank are unavoidable to freeze and resulted the ballast water are not pumped out by ship’s effort,

Fearing further damage to the vessel, vessel’s machinery including hull. Rudder and propeller during stay at anchorage, passage to and from berth, And the berth staying thus, I. on behalf of owner, Sub Owners and manager, hereby noted a sea protest reserving the right to extend same to convenient time, date and in even of any damage , losses ,delays and whatsoever related costs and consequence.

注：

Letter of Protest: 由第三方对你船/货等造成损坏或损失，并既定事实已确定。为保护船东利益，要求第三方为所造成的损失和潜在损失负责。

It is a perfectly normal reaction when some has damaged you, to protest to that person and to claim financial compensation. The letter of protest is just the business way of doing this.

If a ship owner or a master knows that a person has damaged them, should submitted a letter of protest to that person stating the damaged caused and claiming the right to seek compensation (sometime it is usual not to quantify the AMOUNT of compensation but to leave this matter to the lawyer later on)

Note of Sea Protest: 由于天气等不可抗因素影响，可能对船舶/货物等造成损失或损伤，应在抵港时提交海事声明，并征得靠离港口当局确认。并保留延伸进一步损失报告的权利,因为一些损伤是在完货后才能观察到。

In maritime law, a sea protest is a notarized statement obtained after a ship enters port after a rough voyage, where a ship or cargo has suffered damage NOT CAUSED BY A PERSON e.g.; by bad weather, the master will need evidence that the damage was not his fault,  its purpose is to protect the ship’s charterer or owner from liability for damage to cargo, the ship or to other ship in a collision, where this was caused by perils of the sea.

If it is known or suspected that such damage has occurred, the captain will make a sworn “sea protest” and reserved the right to extend this protest.
