PIANC The World Association for Waterborne Navigation Infrastructure Recreational Navigation Commission RecCom PIANC RECCOM WG 217 THE IMPACTS OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEMS FOR RECREATIONAL VESSELS ON MARINA DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT TERMS OF REFERENCE 1. Historical background - Definition of the problem Typically, recreational vessels use combustion engines as either their primary or, in the case of sail boats, secondary method of propulsion. These engines may use either diesel or petrol and can also be used for heating or the charging of batteries. Globally there is an increased awareness of the environmental impacts of using combustion engines which not only generate significant volumes of carbon dioxide but also reduce air quality. This environmental impact is further magnified in the marine environment due to the risk of fuel spills which cause ecological harm. Ports around the world are under increased pressure improve air quality which is negatively affected by large diesel engines found on large container ships and cruise ships. It is likely that this pressure and possible legislation will impact the recreational marina market. The shipping industry has, for some time, been exploring and introducing alternative fuels in a bid to reduce the impacts of goods and people transport via water. Such alternative fuels must still provide propulsion over long distances where little opportunity to refuel exists. The fuels most commonly considered today are Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Electricity, Biodiesel, and Methanol. Other fuels that could play a role in the future are Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Ethanol, Dimethyl Ether (DME), Biogas, Synthetic Fuels, Hydrogen (particularly for use in fuel cells), and Nuclear fuel. The recreational market differs in that most use cases require small volumes and a shorter distance between refuelling. The energy infrastructure is unlikely to be easily advanced for many types of alternative fuel, with the key exception being electricity. Electric cars are increasingly being adopted as domestic motor vehicles and there is signs of increased usage and desire to adopt the same philosophy for recreational boats. Battery technology is undergoing a period of rapid development and will soon be reflected in the charging infrastructure requirements New propulsions systems are starting to be used in recreational vessels, instead of internal combustion engines. Up to now, all marina planning provisions and design guidelines assume that all vessels will use gasoline (petrol) or diesel engines. Many boat manufacturers already offer hybrid and full-electric engines. While marinas already provide a power supply for low voltage applications, the requirements for electric propulsion is likely to be different. Even slow-charge of plug-in electric boats would require more capacity, and fast-charging will require new systems. There is some potential for hydrogen fuel cells and other systems evolving in commercial vessels for cargo or passengers to be implemented in the future for recreational boating. 2. Objectives This working group report will identify the new requirements for marinas to serve recreational vessels with new propulsion systems. The main focus is on electric propulsion, but other systems may be considered. 3. Earlier reports to be reviewed PIANC reports on marina utilities and work on non-fossil fuel propulsion systems in inland navigation and maritime navigation should be reviewed. 4. Scope The proposed scope of work is to: • Review case studies of alternative fuel systems on recreational craft. • Assess the potential uses and likely take-up of alternative fuel systems. 2  • Identify the infrastructure and equipment needs given a significant market take-up. • provide recommendations on how to provide for these needs in design guidelines for new and existing marinas. 5. Intended product The working group report is intended to serve as a guideline for the design of marinas to accommodate new propulsion recreational vessels. Additional products may include: comparison of the impacts in marina development cost due to different new propulsion systems; estimations of energy consumption by marinas with mixed propulsion fleets; potential impacts on reduced fossil fuel consumption; environmental and risk benefits of alternative fuels. 6. Working Group Membership Membership includes: • Marina designers and engineers. • Manufacturers and designers of electric and hybrid recreational boats and yachts. It is expected that ICOMIA, through its membership of boat manufacturers and designers, will be an important partner. • Manufacturers and designers of electric supply equipment for marinas. • Experts with experience with installations for fast-charging of electric vehicle batteries will need to be invited. • Port and inland navigation facility designers and engineers with specific experience in electric propulsion systems can be incorporated. 7. Target Audience The primary target audience of this working group report will be marina designers, and operators. The report should also serve as a reference for the implementation of recommendations to reduce carbon emissions by the recreational navigation industry. 3 8. Relevance 8.1. Relevance to countries in transition This report can assist countries in transition to implement strategies for growth of recreational navigation that reduce carbon emissions. The potential use of small electric boats for tour operators and charters can expand the business opportunities for countries in transition. This can have a positive impact by removing from the system older engines that are typically poorly maintained and polluting. 8.2. Climate Change and Adaptation Implications This report will support the implementation of low-carbon solutions for the recreational navigation industry. It can be a key element to achieve effective carbon emissions mitigation, thus ensuring long-term sustainability of boating industries. 8.3. Reference to WwN Supporting infrastructure for electric boats can be part of a strategy to reduce potential environmental impacts. This technological solution is part of the “WwN tool box”. 8.4. Reference to UN Sustainable Development Goals This report is intended to directly contribute to the following SDG’s: • Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation • Goal 13: Climate Action • Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable 4 Recreational PIANC The World Association for Navigation Commission Waterborne Navigation Infrastructure RecCom ReCom WG 220 PLANNING, DESIGN AND OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR PUMP-OUT SYSTEMS IN RECREATIONAL FACILITIES TERMS OF REFERENCE 1. Historical background - Definition of the problem Pump out systems are a natural development, or consequence of MARPOL, which came in force in 1983, as well as other water quality regulations (such as the US Clean Water Act). Based on those regulations, the fitting of installations to pump out sewage and bilge waters was adopted by the recreational marine industry, but only in the late ‘90s it was regulated more broadly by countries (Spain in 2003). RecCom WG 7 “Guidance on Marine Sanitation Pumpouts” was published in 1997, in the early days of the adoption of this technology. In the last 20 years, pump- out system have suffered a drastic transformation due to the rapid evolution of their use and the industry. Drivers of change included the increased size of yachts, the experience with older installations, marina water quality studies, new materials used in equipment manufacturing, and changes in legislation and regulatory frameworks. User perceptions and marina operations are now also considered important: pump-out systems must consider not only their engineering design and technology, but user comfort, reliability, and the efficiency of the disposal method of the waste. Today, pump out systems are not only fitted to comply with local regulations but are supported by government incentives and endorsed strongly by recreational boating industry best practice statements. It is logical that the recreational navigation industry promote water quality, as the main attractive of it are clean waters to navigate. However, best practices are not implemented uniformly around the world and many countries do not offer incentives for the installation of these systems. 2. Objectives This report is intended to replace RecCom WG 7: Guidance on Marine Sanitation Pumpouts (1997). The main objectives of this report include: • to offer and updated classification and understanding of the different types of pump-out systems used by the recreational navigation and to discuss their characteristics and performance under different conditions. • to develop recommendations for pump-out systems use in the design of facilities • to offer analysis of regulatory frameworks, other insights and recommendations with the ultimate goal of achieving the smooth and widespread use of systems to prevent discharges of pollutants into sensitive water environments. 3. Earlier reports to be reviewed Several PIANC Reports address this issue. But the role of this report is to include the details and comprehensive discussion of this topic: • PIANC RecCom WG 7: Guidance on Marine Sanitation Pumpouts (1997) • PIANC RecCom WG 134 Guidelines for design and operation of superyacht marinas. • PIANC RecCom 149 Guidelines for marina design • PIANC EnviCom WG 3 Glossary of selected environmental terms 4. Scope The proposed scope of work is to: • identify types of fluids that are collected by pump-out systems available in the market (sewage, bilge, etc) • Identify different types of pump-out systems and the principle of operation (vacuum, pump-out, fixed, portable, cart, pump-out craft, truck) • Identify pump-out systems layout (fixed pump at designated pier or pontoon, active area division, on-demand actuation, servo valves, sewage discharge to receiving facilities) • Describe the characteristics of its components (pumps, piping, vents, receiving facilities) • Identify the different characteristics of infrastructure where they can be installed (fixed piers, pontoons, service craft, carts, shore) 2  • Evaluate case studies of pump-out systems installations in marinas and recreational navigation infrastructure, including equipment performance and user adoption. • Create guidelines and recommendations on recreational pump-out systems, and how to best include this equipment in the design of marinas and recreational navigation infrastructure of all types. • Collate and evaluate information regarding regulatory frameworks and incentives for the installation of pump-out systems in different countries. As it relates to environmental protection regulations, additional questions that this WG may address include: • What type of statistics can pump-out collection data generate for use in infrastructure development and operation? • What percentage of recreational craft is with sewage holding tanks, by size of vessel? • For which types of boats sewage holding tank is recommended? • Which are the countries with legislation and rules for pump-out systems? • What are the regulatory mandates and the incentives offered? • Should pump out systems be recommended to be mandatory? • If pump-out systems were mandatory, what should be the requirements? As it relates to design of various types of facilities, the report may include: • Marinas and yacht harbours: It would be helpful to the design, construction and management of yacht harbours to understand the performance of various layouts, including usage of pump-out systems. This could also help assess where to lay piping, set points of discharge, locate pump-out main unit and connect to receiving facilities. • Fuel stations and waiting pontoons (staging docks), when not a part of a marina or yacht harbour: Public services can fit this equipment to help environmental control by assuring that sewage and bilge waters are disposed of in an appropriated way. • Independent pump-out services: mobile equipment can displace where the need arises and provide the service should the facility characteristics does not permit an installation. 5. Intended product The working group report is intended to serve multiple purposes, including: • Describe available technologies and equipment for pump-out systems. 3  • Provide planning and design recommendations to optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of pump-out systems in recreational navigation infrastructure. • Offer models of regulation and incentives related to pump-out installations 6. Working Group Membership • Marina designers, engineers and consultants (including professionals that specify equipment) • Designers, manufacturers and agents of pump-out equipment. • Boat builders, designers and boat equipment professionals • Environmental regulatory agencies, environmental scientists, consultants, etc. • Officials involved in environmental legislation and regulation of the recreational navigation infrastructure and its operations. • Marina operators and managers, and organizations that represent them • Marina owners and developers (private and public) It is recommended that the Working Group invite researchers and equipment designers as members, to benefit from available know-how on pump-out systems to understand their types, organization and infrastructure needs. 7. Target Audience • Marina designers and engineers • Marina owners, developers, and operators • Regulatory agencies • Environmental practitioners 8. Relevance 8.1. Relevance to countries in transition The report will provide technical information and best practices to promote sustainable development of recreational navigation. It is intended to result in net positive environmental impact where discharges presently occur. This report can be used by countries in transition as a guidance to develop environmental legislation and incentives programs. 4 8.2. Climate Change and Adaptation Implications Data analyses based on the expected guidelines may be used to monitor navigation usage changes due to the changing ways people use their recreational boats and modern changes in boat design or long-term climate change patterns. 8.3. Relevance to Implementation of WwN Philosophy Pump-out systems are a basic element of recreational navigation infrastructure. While not critical for the philosophy of planning and design, it is considered a minimum requirement. Better guidelines for planning and design that encourage implementation of the system and widespread operation are compatible with the goals of WwN. 8.4. Relevance to UN Sustainable Development Goals This report is intended to directly contribute to the following SDG’s: • Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. • Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development 8.5. Relevance to UN Small Island Development States (SIDS) Most SIDS are threatened by water pollution, coral reef destruction and marine environmental degradation. This report is intended to contribute to reduce present negative environmental impacts and allow the growth of recreational navigation that is compatible with ecosystem protection. 9.

Historical background - Definition of the problem A significant portion of the world’s recreational boat fleet is dry docked and are launched to lakes, rivers and seas via slipways, also referred to as boat ramps. Slipways are a significantly important element of a boating infrastructure system, as they are key to access to the waterways by small boats. As existing slipways age and a boat fleet grows or changes its characteristics, slipways may require inspection, repair and upgrade to adapt to new demands. New slipways need to be designed to accommodate modern fleets, new operational requirements, public expectation for access to the waterway and environmental regulations. There is a lack of current slipway design guidelines. California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBAW, 1991) guidelines, one of the most used guidelines, were developed more than 20 years ago and PIANC (1980) does not specifically address slipway design. PIANC’s RecCom WG 149 was developed to provide marina design guidelines, but it does not provide specific guidance for slipways. At the same time, design practice continues to evolve, for example, with the construction of public access ramps and boat trailer parking in different regions of the USA. Slipways, can also be required within marinas, especially as part of dry storage facilities or boatyards. Just like marinas, slipway design is site-specific, and the design shall respond to the physical and environmental conditions of the site, as well as characteristics of the fleet and demand of the users it will serve. Therefore, no standard design can be used in most cases. Due to increased concerns and more strict environmental requirements, slipways and their upland support facilities need to comply with water quality regulations relevant to the region. Old slipways frequently require repair or modification. Such repair work may be conducted underwater and is subject to wave action making the work liable to fail. Consistent with PIANC’s mission to provide guidance, from both technical and environmental perspectives, and given the lack of current slipway design guidelines, the development of a PIANC WG for slipway design guidelines is recommended. 2. Objectives In developing the PIANC slipway design guidelines, existing PIANC reports and international standards/guidelines will be compiled and reviewed. Existing best practices and guidelines will be adopted which, in conjunction with recent advances in environmental design, materials and design, recreational boating trends and case study experience, will be developed into the new guidelines. The Working Group may also collect and analyse information to provide guidance for the role of slipways as part of a boating infrastructure system. 3. Earlier Reports to be Reviewed PIANC Report on Dry Berthing of Pleasure Boats. Supplement to Bulletin No. 37, Vol III/1980. 4. Scope The scope of the WG is to provide guidelines for the design of slipways intended for the use of recreational boats. Consideration shall be given to the design aspects of: • existing slipways in need of repairs • new slipways, considering physical and environmental conditions, boat characteristics and user demands The working group may consider slipways that have multiple users, or only address slipways designed for exclusive use by recreational boats. 2 5. Intended Product Produce guidelines for engineers and designers of recreational boating facilities to ensure that slipways are suitable for the intended use, adequate for the site conditions and durable for the design life. The guidelines should also serve as a reference for government agencies in charge of promoting public access to the waterways and for the implementation of sustainable development of boating infrastructure. 6. Working Group Membership Membership includes: • Maritime engineers and designers • Harbour masters and administrators • Boating access promotion agencies (SOBA, etc) • Environmental agencies and regulators 7. Target Audience The target audience for the guidelines will be marine and boating infrastructure engineers and designers, harbour masters and administrators. 8. Relevance 8.1. Relevance to Countries in Transition The guidelines can assist countries in transition to implement strategies for growth of recreational navigation through the development low cost facilities. 8.2. Climate Change and Adaptation Implications Slipways inherently need to be considered with respect to sea level rise and flood defense management. The guidelines will consider material selection as part of embodied carbon considerations. The impact on slipway facility design by the growth of electric propulsion boats should be considered. 8.3. Reference to WwN Implementation and construction of slipways require careful consideration of environmental impacts, especially water quality. Design guidelines that achieves synergies among environmental, engineering and operational goals are critical to the implementation of WwN philosophy. 3 8.4. Reference to UN Sustainable Development Goals The guidelines are intended to directly contribute to the following SDG’s” • Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation • Goal 13: Climate Action • Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable 9.

Historical background - Definition of the problem Floating breakwaters, also known as wave attenuators, are wave protection structures with specific characteristics for specific wave environments, which require specialized design guidelines. Small craft harbours are often exposed to waves and require structures to protect docking facilities, boats and users from excessive wave-induced motions or wave damage. Among the several wave protection structures available, floating breakwaters are often considered at locations where vessel wake, or wave conditions are relatively mild but still conducive to unacceptable levels of agitation within a marina or small craft harbour. As opposed to breakwaters that are fixed and founded on the seabed, floating breakwaters anchored either with piles or mooring lines are dynamic. Consequently, they can only attenuate and not completely block incoming waves. Furthermore, to minimize footprint and reduce cost for most commercial applications, their size is constrained in a way that make them effective within a narrow range of wave periods of approximately up to 4 seconds The wave protection performance of a floating breakwater is closely related to its geometry, mass properties, mooring system and how these relate with the design wave conditions. Therefore, a good understanding of these relationships is critical for adequate design. Historically, floating breakwater design has been based on limited field and physical model experiments and empirical formulae derived from these. At times, the experimental data and empirical formulae have been used outside their range of validity and this has led to designs of poor performance and structures that have suffered catastrophic failure. Recent advances in applied research, materials, construction technologies and analytical tools and methods can significantly improve the understanding of floating breakwater performance and assist in the development of efficient and safe designs. PIANC PTC2 Working Group No. 13, Floating Breakwaters - A Practical Guide for Design and Construction, 1994, is the only guideline currently available and, in the light of recent advances, it is need of review and update. 2. Objectives The objectives of the proposed WG are to: 1. collect and review existing technical information on floating breakwater applied research, analysis, design, construction, installation, inspection and maintenance; 2. identify the existing best practices and design guidelines; 3. develop state-of-the-art practical guidelines for the design of efficient and safe floating breakwaters. 3. Earlier reports to be reviewed The WG shall review PIANC’s relevant publications including PIANC PTC2 Working Group No. 13, Floating Breakwaters - A Practical Guide for Design and Construction, 1994; and academic literature, reports, national and international standards, codes and guidelines. 4. Scope The expected scope of work necessary to achieve the objectives of the WG is the following: • Literature collection and review • Description of design principles (including functionality, operational, environmental and regulatory aspects) and guidelines • Description of floating breakwater design process and outcomes a. concepts (including historical developments) b. components 2  c. design (including site characterization and performance prediction) d. construction e. installation f. inspection and maintenance • Case Studies 5. Intended product Aid for the assessment and design of floating breakwaters. 6. Working Group Membership Membership of the WG shall include representatives from stakeholders and target users such as: engineers, port authorities, harbour masters, marina operators, fabricators and developers of marine products, marina design-build contractors and designers, and researchers. The range of WG expertise should cover practical knowledge in aspects such as planning, analysis, design, construction, installation, inspection and maintenance, as well as research focused on design performance and optimization. 7. Target Audience The target audience for the guidelines will be general maritime engineers and designers, marine product designers and fabricators, harbour masters, project managers, construction managers, and administrators. 8. Relevance 8.1. Relevance to countries in transition The guidelines can assist countries in transition with the growth of recreational navigation by providing information for the evaluation and adequate implementation of efficient, safe and low-cost floating breakwater designs for wave protection. Conversely, inappropriate construction of these types of works can result in costly damage during extreme events, poor operational performance, and generally discourage boating infrastructure development. 3 8.2. Climate Change and Adaptation Implications Depending on site conditions, floating breakwaters constitute an alternative to mitigate the effects and adapt to sea level rise given their modular and reconfigurable nature. 8.3. Relevance to Implementation of WwN Philosophy Floating breakwaters, in the right conditions, could provide wave protection with minimal impact on benthic resources. Early feasibility evaluation of adequate wave attenuator solutions can be a valuable technical tool for the implementation of WwN philosophy. 8.4. Relevance to UN Sustainable Development Goals This report is intended to directly contribute to the following SDG’s: • Goal 9: Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure • Goal 13: Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters 8.5. Relevance to UN Small Island Development States (SIDS) Technically appropriate and cost-efficient solutions for sustainable coastal and boating infrastructure development supports SIDS. 4 Recreational PIANC The World Association for Navigation Commission Waterborne Navigation Infrastructure RecCom RECCOM WG 223 MEANINGFUL INCLUSION OF FISHING COMMUNITIES IN RECREATIONAL MARINAS - GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING TERMS OF REFERENCE 1. Historical background - Definition of the problem Commercial fishing and recreational navigation have a contentious history sharing spaces in ports and waterfront areas around the world. In many cases, old fishing port got converted to recreational uses, but only infrastructure modifications have been discussed in the international marina literature. PIANC WG 147 “Guidelines for Management of Recreational Navigation Activities within Fishing and Commercial Ports” address this issue extensively. However, no planning guidelines exist to provide an approach to seek the inclusion of the fishing community in a tourist marina project. Fishermen have the potential to participate in the tourism economy that marinas generate, but for different reasons, they often are excluded. One of those reasons is arguably that marina planning does not take existing traditional activities in consideration. Pioneer work on the concept of merging fishing ports and communities with tourism was done in Japan, where the concept of “Fisherina” was introduced. Other efforts have been documented in proposed resort projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, Middle East and China under the framework of Social Sustainability. Additionally, some observations suggest that isolated efforts have been undertaken, but not documented under a comprehensive framework. More recently, proposals of implementation of PIANC’s Working with Nature to marina projects have argued that much greater benefits to traditional fishing communities can be achieved with a different approach to planning. The most recent publications that specifically address marina projects in coastal resorts, highlight the project value enhancement by delivering authentic and unique guest experiences, in addition to the direct benefit to the local community. However, implementation challenges that exceed the facility planning have also been identified. More ample and detailed literature exists in the field of sustainable tourism, eco- tourism and community inclusion in tourism, which address similar issues, but not for the case of marinas. 2. Objectives This working group report will collect publications and case studies on this topic and develop preliminary recommendations for marina planning to incorporate fishing community members in tourist marinas. 3. Earlier reports to be reviewed PIANC WG 147 “Guidelines for Management of Recreational Navigation Activities within Fishing and Commercial Ports” should be reviewed to identify if any of its case studies has dealt with this issue. PIANC Conference papers have address this topic, and should be reviewed. 4. Scope The proposed scope of work is to: • Collect and review publications that have studied fishing communities and the inclusion of fishermen in tourist marinas. • Consider also publications relative to sustainable tourism and eco-tourism that propose approaches to maintain local communities in their lands and promote their participation in new tourism economies in a sustainable manner. • Collect and review case studies that illustrate the inclusion of fishing community members in tourist marina project. • Summarize marina planning criteria that are common to successful examples or have strong fundamentals. • Develop general recommendations for marina planning to incorporate fishing community members in tourist marinas. 2 5. Intended product The working group report is intended to serve as a guideline for planning of tourism marinas – either new projects in undeveloped coastlines or refurbishment of existing facilities - in areas where fishing communities exist. Additional products may include: recommendation of planning approach and methodologies, identification of team members or partners, identification of benefits that can be listed in environmental impact studies, challenges reported by practitioners, etc. 6. Working Group Membership Membership includes: • Marina designers and engineers. • Architects, landscape architects, urban and resort planners with experience including local communities in tourism projects • Practitioners in sustainable tourism • Private Foundations and NGOs that work with local communities, especially fishing communities, in tourism projects • Port authorities, municipal authorities, and waterway authorities that have experience dealing with fishing communities • Hospitality developers and operators (hotel, resorts, etc) of eco-tourism projects 7. Target Audience The primary target audience of this working group report will be resort marina designers and developers, environmental impact study specialists, and government authorities involved with marina planning. The report should be beneficial for architects, landscape architects, urban and resort planners interested in socially sustainable marinas. The report should also serve as a reference for NGOs and foundations that work with fishing communities, economic development agencies. 3 8. Relevance 8.1. Relevance to countries in transition This report can assist countries in transition to implement strategies for growth of recreational navigation that maximize social benefits. It is common that marina developers in countries in transition prefer to relocate fishermen from the site. This report may encourage some to reconsider that approach or to provide a reference to local authorities to induce more sustainable development. 8.2. Climate Change and Adaptation Implications Some solutions can incorporate dock space for local fishermen’s tour boats in a more natural setting, which can be designed as part of an adaptive coastal protection strategy. Conversion of traditional fishermen to tourism activities can reduce green house emissions by providing cleaner and more efficient engines for small boats. 8.3.
