3. Why MARPOL Annex VI?
ď
Emission Gases from Ships
⌠Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) â create Ozone
⌠Sulphur Oxides (SOx) â create
acidification
⌠Carbon Dioxide (CO2) â is a GHG
⌠Carbon Monoxide (CO)
⌠Hydrocarbons (HC) â gas, soot and some
particulates
ď
The concentration of the differing exhaust
gases is variable according to the engine
type, engine settings and fuel type.

5. MARPOL ANNEX VI applies to all ships but the
certification requirements are depending on size of the
vessel and when it is constructed.
Ships of 400 gross tons and above engaged in international
voyages involving countries that have ratified the
conventions, or ships flying the flag of those countries, are
required to have an International Air Pollution Prevention
Certificate (IAPP Certificate).
The IAPP certificate will be issued following an initial
survey carried out by the Flag Administration or by the
Class (e.g. DNV, ClassNK) on behalf of the Flag
Administration, confirming compliance with MARPOL
Annex VI. For ships with the flag of an Administration that
have not yet ratified Annex VI, a Certificate of Compliance
with Annex VI issued by the Class.
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA,
Bangladesh.
5
6. Annex VI also requires diesel engines (as described above) to
carry individual certificates with regard to NOx
emissions, named Engine International Air Pollution
Prevention (EIAPP) Certificates.
Annex VI requires that every ship of 400 gross tonnage or
above and every fixed and floating drilling rig and other
platforms shall be subject to the following surveys:
- An initial survey before the ship is put into service or before
the IAPP Certificate is issued for the first time.
- Periodical surveys at intervals specified by the
Administration, but not exceeding five years.
- A minimum of one intermediate survey during the period of
validity of the certificate.
In the case of ships of less than 400 gross tons, the
Administration may establish appropriate measures in order to
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.
6
ensure that Annex VI is complied with.
7. Annex VI has requirements to the following main
issues:
Regulation 12 - Emissions from Ozone depleting
substances from refrigerating plants and fire
fighting equipment
Regulation 13 - Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions
from diesel engines
Regulation 14 - Sulphur Oxide (SOx) emissions
from ships
Regulation 15 - Volatile Organic compounds
emissions from cargo oil tanks of oil tankers
Regulation 16 - Emissions from shipboard
incinerators
Regulation 18 - Fuel Oil quality.
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA,
Bangladesh.

8. MARPOL Annex VI and the Technical Code have retroactive
requirements for the following:
Regulation 12 - Emissions from Ozone depleting
substances from refrigerating plants and fire fighting
equipment
On all ships constructed on or after 19.05.2005.
Annex VI prohibits any deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting
substances. Ozone-depleting substances , and equipment
containing such substances, shall be delivered to appropriate
reception facilities when removed from a ship. Installations which
contain ozone-depleting substances, other than
hydrochlorofluorocarbons, are prohibited :
Installations containing hydrochlorflourocarbons (HCFCs) are
Hanif Dewan, Senior
prohibited on ships constructed on or after Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.
1.01.2020.

9. For the ships under regulation 12 of Marpol Annex
VI, a list of equipment containing ozone depleting
substances shall be maintain and in case a ship
will have rechargeable systems containing ozone
depleting substances, an Ozone depleting
Substances Record Book shall be maintained on
board.
The use of Halon in fire extinguishing systems and
equipment is already prohibited for new buildings.
For new buildings, this requirement in Annex VI will
therefore always be complied with. More restrictive
requirements for ozone depleting substances are in

11. This regulation does not apply to:
- Emergency diesel engines, engines installed in life boats or for
any equipment intended to be used solely in case of emergency.
- Engines used solely to drive machinery dedicated to exploration,
exploitation and associated offshore processed of seabed mineral
resources The phrase âmajor conversionâ, means a modification of
an engine where:
1. The engine is replaced by a new engine built on or after 1
January 2000, or
2. Any substantial modification is made to the engine, as described
in the Nox Technical Code 1.3.2 (e.g. changing camshaft,fuel
injection system, or any other NOx-related settings or
components), or
3. The maximum continuous rating of the engine is increased by
more than 10% For this purpose, Substantial Modification is
defined as follows:
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA,
Bangladesh.
11
12. - For engines installed on vessels constructed on or after 1
January 2000, a Substantial Modification means any
modification to an engine that could potentially cause the
engine to exceed the emission standards set out in
Regulation 13 of Annex VI.
- For engines installed on vessels constructed before 1
January 2000, a Substantial Modification means any
modification made to an engine which increases its
existing emission characteristics established by the
simplified measurement method as described in 6.3 in
excess of the allowances set out in 6.3.11(Ref. NOx
Technical file.). These changes include, but are not limited
to, changes in its operations or in its technical parameters
(e.g. changing camshaft,fuel injection systems, air
systems, combustion chamber configuration, or timing
calibration of the engine)
Hanif Dewan, Senior
Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.

17. ď3.1.1. New measures on engines of ships built: Jan 1990 â Dec 1999
The NOx emissions at Tier I level upgraded for engines of power
output > 5,000 kW and per cylinder displacement at or > 90 litres
The upgrading is provided with approved and cost effective method for
NOx limitation and should not:
- reduce the engine rating by more than 1%
- increase the fuel consumption by more than 2%, and
- have negative effect on the engine durability or reliability
For Engines NOT complying with Tier I NOx emission limitations:
⢠measures against ship only if there is a certified, efficient commercially
available system
⢠rules for certification, verification and documentation of scrubbers
and upgrade at the shipâs first Renewal Survey if there is an approved
method for upgrading at least to Tier I standard
⢠if system not available, the next Annual Survey after that method is
available

21. Regulation 14 - Sulphur Oxide (SOx) emissions from
ships
- 19 May 2005 Annex VI to MARPOL entered into
force.
- The revised Annex VI to MARPOL was adopted by
IMO on 10 October 2008.
The sulphur oxide (SOx) and Particulate Matter
emissions from ships will in general be controlled by
setting a limit on the sulphur content of marine fuel
oils as follows. The sulphur content of any fuel oil
used on board ships shall not exceed the following
limits:
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA,
Bangladesh.

* depending on the outcome of a review, to be concluded in 2018,
as to the availability of the required fuel oil, this date could be
deferred to 1 January 2025.
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA,
Bangladesh.
22
23. ďąThe ECA established are:
i. Baltic Sea area â as defined in Annex I of MARPOL (SOx
only);
ii. North Sea area â as defined in Annex V of MARPOL (SOx
only);
iii. North American area (entered into effect 1 August 2012) â
as defined in Appendix VII of Annex VI of MARPOL
(SOx, NOx and PM); and
iv. United States Caribbean Sea area (expected to enter into
effect 1 January 2014) â as defined in Appendix VII of Annex
VI of MARPOL (SOx, NOx and PM).
Hanif Dewan, Senior
Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.
23
25. Most ships which operate both outside and inside these ECA
will therefore operate on different fuel oils in order to comply
with the respective limits. In such cases, prior to entry into the
ECA, it is required to have fully changed-over to using the
ECA compliant fuel oil, regulation 14.6, and to have onboard
implemented written procedures as to how this is to be
undertaken. Similarly change-over from using the ECA
compliant fuel oil is not to commence until after exiting the
ECA. At each change-over it is required that the quantities of
the ECA compliant fuel oils onboard are recorded, together
with the date, time and position of the ship when either
completing the change-over prior to entry or commencing
change-over after exit from such areas. These records are to
be made in a logbook as prescribed by the shipâs flag State,
in the absence of any specific requirement in this regard the
record could be made, for example, in the shipâs Annex I Oil
Record Book.
Hanif Dewan, Senior Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.
25
26. Sox Control:
- Arrangements for LSFO & HSFO: 2 0r more
different types of fuels.
- Availability âBunking strategies
- Switch-over(12 to 24 hrs) will need to be changed
over the fuel for the SECA passages.
- Handling of cylinder oils â2 qualities may be
required.
- More strict follow up through sample
requirements, and control of documentation and
procedure to log down.
Hanif Dewan, Senior
Lecturer, IMA, Bangladesh.
26
28. Other Methods for Controlling of Nox and Sox:
- Exhaust gas cleaning system or other equivalent system: May be
used (abatement technologies). The emission criteria for such systems
are 6 g SOx/kWh.
- Relifiquation plants for LNG/LPG carriers: Reduction of
NOx, Sox & cost saving through boiled off gas reuse.
- Alfa Lubricator system: Reduction in cylinder oil consumption.
Reduction in particulate emission.
- Electronic control engine : Programmed fuel injection and
exhaust valve. Reduce fuel & reduction of emission.
- Turbo generator plant: Use of high efficiency air flow for power
take off. Reduce fuel & reduction of emission.
- System integration: Humid air Motor (HAM)- engine intake air
operating with water & exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). 50%
reduction of emission.
- HFO sulfur content â Use of low sulfur oil and modify the
equipments to burn LSFO.
- Dual fuel option for low sulphur restricted areas: Need for
additional tanks and dual fuel engines.
