1 Presentation for: Green Pacific Conference 21 September 2010, Seattle, WA Marine Vessel Environmental Performance and Rating System (MVeP) (Voluntary Best Management Practices) Presented by: Kevin Reynolds, The Glosten Associates
“How Green is Green?” - MVeP Holistic Approach to Marine Vessels Mission Statement : “Provide a common technical basis for assessing environmental performance, so that marine vessel designers, builders, and operators can understand relative environmental impacts of design decisions and operational practices.”
Objective and Approach - MVeP Objective: Minimize Marine Vessel Environmental Impact Approach: Leverage Existing Best Practices Team Industry, Environmental Groups, and Regulatory Agencies for Practical Solutions Provide Technical Basis for Evaluation, SNAME Technical & Research Publication Recognize Industry Leaders and Exemplary Performance Encourage VOLUNTARY Implementation Ahead of Regulation
Development & Implementation – MVeP Phase I Sponsors: Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, and American Bureau of Shipping. Phase I Project Team: Glosten Associates with review from SNAME T&R, Herbert Engineering Corporation, and Slater & Zeien. Phase II Sponsors: Under Development. Phase II Administration Team: SNAME T&R, Alaris, Seaworthy Systems, Wartsila, University of New Orleans, and The Glosten Associates. Phase II Technical Partners: Quickly Filling – Goal Complete by December.
