Great news!

The matriculation tax in Spain levied against charter yachts and megayachts seems about to undergo a major revision. The Ministry of Development has proposed an amendment that will bring the country’s law in compliance with that of the rest of the European Union.

On March 28th, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the final version of its 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) which will apply to all vessels entering US waters from 19th December 2013. The VGP requires that “All vessels must use an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) in all oil-to-sea interfaces, unless technically infeasible”.

The applications covered by the VGP, which will be regulated by the US Coast Guard, include Controllable Pitch Propellers; Thruster Hydraulic Fluids and other Oil-to-Sea Interfaces including
- Lubrication Discharges from Paddle Wheel Propulsion;
- Stern Tubes;
- Thruster Bearings;
- Stabilisers;
- Rudder Bearings;
- Azimuth Thrusters;
- Propulsion Pod Lubrication;
- Wire Rope and Mechanical Equipment Subject to Immersion.

There are certain situations where “technical infeasibility” can be shown, which have been defined in the legislation as:
1. That no EAL products are approved for use in a given application that meet manufacturers specifications for that equipment.
2. That products which come pre-lubricated (eg wire ropes) have no available alternatives manufactured with EALs.
3. That products meeting a manufacturer’s specification are not available within any port in which the vessel calls.
4. Or that change over and use of an EAL must wait until the vessel’s next dry-docking.

We are reasonably confident that our HYDROX BIO, ECOSURE, BIOGEAR and BIOGREASE product ranges will comply with the highly technical and detailed ecological definitions and requirements laid down in the VGP, but we require some additional data before we can provide an unequivocal assurance.

We will provide updates as and when they are available, however in the meantime, if you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further please do not hesitate to contact us directly via our website www.vickers-oil.com

Larkside are the agents for “Vickers Oils Biodegradable Yachting Lubricants”.
All Vickers oils are classed approved and the “Hydrox BIO 68” has also been approved by “Quantum” for use their “XT” fins. The “Hydrox BIO 68” is also suitable for stern tube lubrication.

For hydraulic systems the “Ecosure HSE” range of biodegradable hydraulic fluids is available in ISO 32, 46 and 68 viscosities. Also available is “Bio Grease EP2”.

As environmental controls get stricter and fines bigger, especially after a spill, the authorities will be more lenient if it is a biodegradable oil that is in the water.
