2017年3月31日起，船舶進(jìn)入巴拿馬運(yùn)河，船舶主機(jī)，輔機(jī)，鍋爐是需要愛(ài)更換輕油的。

           on 31st March  2017, vessels  need  to  complete  the switch(changeover)  from  heavy fuel  oil  (residual  fuel)  to light   fuel   (distillate   fuel)   to   be   used   for   their propulsion  engines,  auxiliary  engines, and  boilers, prior  to  arriving  in  Panama  Canal Waters.   In this regard,    the    Panama    Canal    Authority    issued

“ADV15-2017 Modification  to Fuel  Requirements in  Panama  Canal  Waters

This   advisory  has   mitigated   the   requirement  of N-1-2017, following customer  requests, and vessels should  comply  with  these  changes  accordingly.  A summary of the changes appears below.

Summary：

1.  It is unnecessary to switch to Light Oil for auxiliary machinery (i.e. D/G, Aux BLR) when vessels need to anchor at the Pacific or Atlantic Anchorages or berth prior to transit.However, for the Main Engine, it is necessary to switch to Light Oil before entering Panama Canal Waters.

   當(dāng)船舶在太平洋或大西洋拋錨時(shí)，船舶是不需要換油的，當(dāng)船舶進(jìn)入巴拿馬運(yùn)河，船舶是需要換輕油的。

2.  In the above situation, vessels shall change over to Light Oil for the auxiliary machinery at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled P.O.B. for her Canal transit

     在船舶進(jìn)入巴拿馬運(yùn)河上引水前2小時(shí)，船舶輔機(jī)（發(fā)電機(jī)和鍋爐）需更換輕油的。

3.  It is unnecessary to switch to Light Oil for all machinery (including Main Engine), for vessels that arrive at Canal waters with the sole intention of visiting either the Pacific or Atlantic port terminals or anchor at the Pacific or Atlantic Anchorages and will not transit.

     對(duì)于靠泊在巴拿馬運(yùn)河太平洋或大西洋兩邊的港口或在巴拿馬運(yùn)河兩端拋錨，是不需要更換輕油的。

4.  All vessels that arrive with the intention of transiting, shall record the fuel changeover in their engine room logbook and/or fuel oil changeover logbook.

  船舶進(jìn)入巴拿馬運(yùn)河，是必須在機(jī)艙的輪機(jī)日志和燃油切換記錄本上記錄換油的操作。

ADVISORY TO SHIPPING No. A-15-2017

April 19, 2017

TO

:    All Shipping Agents, Owners, and Operators

SUBJECT:    Modification to Fuel Requirements in Panama Canal Waters

OP  Notice  to   Shipping  N-1-2017,  “Vessel   Requirements”,  Section  29.a,   requires  that vessels  complete the  switch  (changeover) from  heavy  fuel oil  (residual  fuel) to  light  fuel (distillate fuel)  that will be  used for  their propulsion engines,  auxiliary engines, boilers  and other ancillary  equipment, prior to  arriving at Panama  Canal waters.   This requirement will

resolve operational  issues, as well  as avoid any  negative impact on  the health of  Panama Canal Authority (ACP) personnel, caused by the use of HFO while in Canal waters. As a  result of customers’ requests,  and after evaluating  the possible impact  a modification to this requirement may have on our operations, to include health  issues for ACP personnel, the above listed requirement has been modified as follows:

·   Vessels with intentions  to transit  that, prior to  transit, need  to anchor at

the  Pacific  or Atlantic  Anchorages,  or  vessels  that plan  to  call  at  the

Pacific or Atlantic port terminals, will  be permitted to use heavy (residual)

fuel   to  operate   their   auxiliary  engines,   boilers   and  other   ancillary

equipment during  their stay at  the anchorage or  at the berth.   However,

these  vessels  will  be  required  to   perform  a  changeover  from  heavy

(residual) to  light (distillate)  fuel that  is used to  operate their  propulsion

engines prior to entering Canal waters.

·   Vessels that opt  to burn  heavy (residual)  fuel in  their auxiliary  engines,

boilers   and  other   ancillary   equipment,  as   described   in  the   above

paragraph,  shall change  over to  light  (distillate) fuel  operation, at  least

two  (2)  hours prior  to  the  scheduled  pilot time  for  their  Canal  transit.

Vessels   will   be   deemed   ready   for   Canal   transit   only   when   the

changeover to  light fuel  has been completed  and are  operating only on

distillate fuel.

·   Vessels that arrive  at Canal waters  with the  sole intention to  visit either

the Pacific or Atlantic port  terminal and will not transit, may be allowed  to

proceed to  and from the  port terminal on  heavy fuel,  including the main

propulsion  engines.   These   vessels  will   not  be   subject  to   the   fuel

changeover requirement stated in Notice to Shipping N-1-2017.

ADVISORIES ARE AVAILABLE AT  http://www.

All vessels that arrive with the intention of transiting, shall record the fuel changeover in their engine room logbook and/or fuel  oil changeover logbook.  The  logbook entries shall specify the date  and time of  commencement and  ending of the  changeover from  heavy (residual) fuel to light (distillate) fuel, as well as the sulfur content of fuels. As always,  the Panama Canal appreciates your  comments, and looks  forward to  continue

serving you in the future.
