1. Summary
From 14th to 16th of November 2018, the MTCC-Latin America organized its Third
National Workshop at Los Delfines Hotel & Convention Center, in Lima, Peru. This
capacity building activity was attended by an average of 41 participants,
representing the General Directorate of Harbour Masters and Coastguard, the
Maritime Authority of Peru (DICAPI), ship operators, governmental organizations,
shipyards, maritime training institutions, mariners, marine fuel and bunker
providers, as well as other technical experts. This event was organized in
cooperation with DICAPI, who also provided a speaker for Day 1 of the event.
During this workshop, a range of presentations covered key aspects of ship energy
efficiency and emissions reductions including policy, regulatory, operational and
technical aspects. In addition, important viewpoints, experiences and
implementation developments by ship operators, maritime universities and
governmental organizations from the maritime and port sectors of Peru, were
presented. These presentations included the following topics: Implementation of
ship energy efficiency regulations in Peru, GMN project overview, MTCC-Latin
America objectives and activities, the new IMO GHG strategy, tier III emissions and
new engine design, alternative fuels and the future of marine engines, experience
of the industry in implementing ship energy efficiency measures, Annex VI of the
MARPOL Convention, experiences from the implementation of energy efficiency
measures in Panama, current research projects in GHG and acid rain, types of fuel
and CO2 emission factors, ship energy efficiency management plans (SEEMP),
port environmental management and operations in Peru, and the impact of ship
energy efficiency on the training programs of merchant marine officers and other
practitioners in the maritime sector. Finally, the MTCC team conducted a group
exercise on the perceived challenges and opportunities to incorporate and
implement IMO ship energy efficiency measures in Peru. This exercise motivated
attendants to engage in a very fruitful debate and exchange of views on the topic.
This was highlighted later as a major value-adding activity of the Lima workshop,

as it was argued that few hands-on workshops are held locally with the
participation of both policy makers and industry practitioners.
The workshop yielded excellent results such as the positioning of the MTCC-Latin
America as a centre of excellence on energy efficiency measures in the region and
the engagement of participants in the MTCC-Latin America´s initiatives and
activities.
2. Objectives and description of the national workshop
The main objectives of this national workshop were two-fold. Firstly, to bring
together key actors in the maritime and port sectors of Peru to discuss and
exchange views on ship energy efficiency and emission reduction measures, and
secondly, to provide training on fundamental technical aspects that would enable
members of these sectors to understand, plan and monitor the implementation of
the afore-mentioned measures.
To accomplish these objectives, during the workshop members of the MTCC
conducted a group exercise, the main goal of which was to motivate a fruitful
discussion on the perceived pros, cons, opportunities and challenges posed by the
implementation of ship EE technologies and operations in Peru. This exercise had
the active participation of government representatives (maritime and port
authorities, ministries with environmental mandates), ship operators, shipyards,
marine fuel providers, technical agencies and members of the academia. With
regards to capacity building, the workshop addressed key aspects of climate
change mitigation measures in shipping and the relevance of MARPOL Annex VI,
types of fuel, CO2 emission factors and ship energy efficiency management plans
(SEEMP). Other topics included the GMN Project, the progress achieved by the
MTCC-Latin America, IMO´s Initial GHG Strategy, alternative fuels in shipping, ship
energy efficiency technology and practice, as well as technological breakthroughs
by engine manufacturers. These topics were complemented by presentations and
recommendations from national ship operators and research efforts by local
universities.

interest to all participants in general, as DICAPI is in the process of implementing
MARPOL Annex VI and ship energy efficiency in Peru. Presentations addressing
the initial IMO´s GHG strategy, tier III emissions and new engine design,
alternative fuels and the future of marine engines, as well as the experience of ship
operators regarding the implementation of ship energy efficiency measures in its
international fleet, were also part of the agenda for Day 1.
For Day 2, a guest instructor from the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) initiated
the session with a presentation on MARPOL Annex VI, ship energy efficiency
regulations and the experience on Panama regarding the implementation of
MARPOL Annex VI. The second speaker of the day, a professor from the
Technological University of Peru, introduced the audience to current research
projects on the fields of GHG and acid rain, which were motivated by the efforts of
the MTCC-Latin America in the region. Furthermore, a lecturer from UMIP,
presented on the characteristics and uses of various types of bunkers, their CO2
emission factors, the use of oil record books, internal combustion engines, on
board oil treatment systems (fuel tanks, service tanks, flowmeters, piping systems,
valves, pumps, filters and injectors, among others), bunker properties and
bunkering procedures.
The activities for Day 3 started with a presentation on the ship energy efficiency
management plan by the guest instructor from the Panama Maritime Authority.
This was followed by two presentations, the first on Port environmental
management and operations in Peru by the Operations & Environmental Manager
of the National Port Authority of Peru, and the impacts of ship EE measures on
training programs for mariners and shore practitioners in the maritime sector of
Peru by the Head Master of the National Merchant Marine Academy of Peru.
All presentations and videos used during this workshop are part of Annex I to this
report.
In the afternoon of Day 3, a group dynamic was done. Staff members of the
MTCC-Latin America led participants through discussions and a practical exercise.

The main objective of this activity was to increase awareness among participants
and motivate discussion for the implementation of ship EE regulations in Peru,
including the identification of challenges and opportunities to be addressed. All
participants were organized into three groups, as follows:
Within their groups, attendants identified, categorized, analyzed and rated
limitations and opportunities for the implementation of MARPOL Annex VI in Peru.
This allowed MTCC-Latin America to understand better the prevailing
circumstances surrounding this topic in this country.
The following are some pictures of the workshop:

efficiency aspects in the region and thus as a point of reference on the topic.
Secondly, the interaction with participants during the lectures and working group
sessions helped establish channels for cooperation, exchange of views and
contribution to our initiatives and pilot projects. Peru is participating in our Pilot
Projects 1 and 2. Participants are included in our database and will be kept
informed of MTCC´s activities, dissemination communications and regular
newsletters.
Thirdly, the main objectives of this workshop, to raise awareness and build
capacity, were accomplished. Important life experiences and know-how from
industry practitioners and maritime authorities helped enrich the debate on how to
approach the issues of ship EE in this country. This exercise was very successful
in yielding the following top views:

These results will contribute to the development and implementation of future
studies and activities of the MTCC-Latin America.
5. Evaluation of the national workshop
To obtain views on the expectations and performance for this workshop, the MTCC
used the standard feedback questionnaires provided by the IMO PCU. Through
these questionnaires, various aspects, including coordination, facilities,
performance, speakers and presentations were evaluated. In addition, this
evaluation form seeks to gather general comments and recommendations from
participants, which will be taken into account by the MTCC-Latin America for its
continuous improvement. Participants completed these questionnaires individually.
The analysis of the questionnaires indicates that the majority of respondents
evaluated as excellent both the coordination and delivery by the MTCC-Latin
America, as well as the contents of the capacity building program.
The comments received were very positive and they can be seen in Annex III
“Analysis of the Evaluation Form”.
