Revision of the Convention on the collection, deposit and reception of waste generated during navigation on the Rhine and other inland waterways (CDNI) and its Implementing Regulation (Provisions on the handling of gaseous residues from liquid fuel (vapours))

The Conference of the Contracting Parties

having regard to the Convention on the collection, deposit and reception of waste generated during navigation on the Rhine and other inland waterways (CDNI) and in particular its article 14 and 19,

recalling Resolution CDNI 2013-II-3 and given the need to incorporate provisions for the handling of gaseous residues from liquid fuel (vapours) into the CDNI,

welcomes the presentation by the CDNI/G working group of a comprehensive draft resolution aiming to supplement the CDNI Convention (Part B and Part D) and its Implementing Regulation,

welcomes the contributions by non-governmental organisations, which have been closely involved in drawing up these requirements,

notes that this is a joint proposal by the Contracting parties,

notes the consensus between the Contracting parties on content amendments,

notes that this is a progressive ban on the release into the atmosphere of vapours that are harmful to health and the environment,

notes that, according to studies that have been carried out, henceforward this amendment should avoid 95% of harmful degassing from vessels into the atmosphere within the geographical scope of the Convention and thus represents a considerable improvement, both for the environment and for the sustainability of freight transport by inland waterway.

adopts the amendments to the Convention on the collection, deposit and reception of waste generated during navigation on the Rhine and other inland waterways concerning the avoidance and handling of vapours released in the course of inland navigation.

The present Resolution shall enter into force on the first day of the six month following the deposit with the depositary of the last instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval of the Signatory States.

Appendix IIIa Degassing standards

A. General provisions

1. vapours given off from goods mentioned in tables I to III of this Appendix shall not be released into the atmosphere unless the conditions governing AVFL values 1 in the tables below have been complied with. Unless otherwise specified in article 7.04 or in this Appendix, vapours given off from these goods shall be degassed.

2. Degassing must be carried out at a certified reception station in accordance with national provisions.

3. vapours from all the goods not to be found in the following degassing standard tables can be vented.

4. Venting is not permitted:

a) close to locks, including their forebays, under bridges or in densely populated areas.

b) in sectors subject to equivalent protection by national requirements.

5. The degassing or venting procedure is to be interrupted during a storm or if, because of unfavourable wind conditions, the presence of dangerous vapours is considered possible outside the cargo area, in front of accommodation, the wheelhouse or operation rooms. “The critical state shall be reached when measurement with a portable measurement device confirms the presence in these areas of concentration of vapours greater than 20% of the lower explosive limit”.

6. Degassing may only be performed by competent individuals2. This also applies to the work required aboard the vessel.

B. Accepted Vent Free Level (AVFL)

1. A cargo tank’s Accepted Vent Free Level (AVFL) is defined as the concentration of vapours in the tank below which the release of the vapours into the atmosphere is permitted3.

2. The fume concentration is measured in accordance with the methods, measurement techniques and measurement devices provided for by the ADN at a representative point within the pipe connecting the cargo tank and the fume reception station or at one or more points within the cargo tank deemed to be appropriate by the expert4. The measurement is taken under standard conditions and repeated after 30 minutes. Point 21 of the attestation of unloading confirms that the value measured was less than the limit value.

1 Accepted Vent Free Level

2 For the reception station: qualified vapour reception station personnel. For the vessel: individual qualified in accordance with ADN provisions.

3 This value is 10% of the Lower Explosive Limit or LEL.

4 Expert as construed by the ADN’s are provisions.

C. Transport operations for which degassing of the cargo tanks is not required after unloading

1. Transport of goods authorised for transport aboard Type “N open” or “Type N open with flame arresters” vessels. This also applies for the goods mentioned in the following tables.

2. Exclusive transport operations.

3. Transport operations with a subsequent cargo that is compatible in accordance with article 7.04, (3, (b) and (c).

4. Transport of goods the vapour pressure of which is less than 5kPa at 20° C.

D. Meaning of the columns in tables I and II below

1. “UN number”: the four digit identification number of the products or objects derived from the UN Model Regulations.

2. “Product description”: description of the cargo being transported.

3. AVFL: vapour concentration level in the cargo tank (in % of the volume) below which free venting is permitted.
