35. MARPOL ANNEX VI Regulations to Reduce Air Pollution from Ships
Page 5 of 8

36. MARPOL ANNEX VI CG-543 Policy Letter 09-01
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published regulations in 40 CFR 94 to limit emissions from marine diesel engines manufactured on or after 1/1/2004
CG-543 Policy Letter 09-01
3 Categories per policy letter
400 ITC and above on INTL voyage
Less than 400 ITC on INTL voyage
Any GT (regulatory) NOT on INTL voyage *

37. “ Any GT (regulatory) NOT on INTL voyage”
“These vessels need not obtain documentation* that indicates Annex VI compliance. However, these ships must still adhere to the applicable portions of Annex VI and must be able to demonstrate compliance** during CG examinations or boardings.”
* IAPP, EIAPP
** low sulfur fuel, engine Tier compliance

38. North American Emission Control Area
Outline of US depicts 200 nm from shore
11/8/2018

39. Engine Emission Tiers Tier I 01 JAN 2000- 01 JAN 2011
Tier II 01 JAN JAN 2016
Tier III 01 JAN 2016

40. MARPOL VI What are Nox and Sox?
Nitrogen Oxides (Nox)- a group of reactive gasses as a result of combustion which result in ground level ozone and fine particulate pollution
Sulfur Oxides (Sox)- a group of reactive gasses as a result of combustion which lead to the formation of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere posing significant public health risks

41. MARPOL VI Regulation 13 Nitrogen oxides (Nox)
(New) marine diesel 130 kW (171 hp) and greater (or existing) that undergoes a major conversion after 1/1/2000
Major Conversion is considered:
Replacement
Substantial modification (per Nox Tech Code 2008)
Max cont output rating is increased to more than 10%
TIER 1- Jan Jan
TIER 2- Jan Jan
TIER 3- Jan
Don’t think “vessel generators” when expressing power in KW’s. 760 watts = 1Hp, therefore 130,000 watts/760 watts= 171 Hp

42. MARPOL VI Regulation 18 Sulfur oxides (Sox)
Bunker delivery note kept on board the ship for three (3) years
Fuel sample under the ship’s control for not less than one (1) year
Fuel oil for combustion purposes shall not exceed the applicable sulfur content (reg 14) or cause an engine to exceed the applicable Nox emission limit (reg 13)
Using a qualifying the fuel oil delivery service, the receipt will reflect the EPA reqs
