DNV releases guide to reducing ship emissions


New guide provides details of the latest MARPOL Annex VI requirements.

Norwegian classification society Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has released a comprehensive guide to the technical and operational issues involved in reducing air emissions from ships, including details of the latest MARPOL requirements entering into force on 1 July 2010.

The new brochure describes the main requirements that will come into effect under the revised MARPOL Annex VI as well as other local and international regulations concerning air emissions.

"The measures required to meet the new regulations affect many aspects of vessel design and operation and, managed correctly, they bring with them the opportunity for improved efficiency and reduced on-going running costs," said Mr Angelo Tossio project manager of DNV's Approval Centre Norway.

The revised MARPOL Annex VI was approved by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in October 2008 and enters into force 1 July 2010.

The changes will be felt throughout the industry and will directly affect equipment manufacturers as well as owners and operators.

The new brochure produced by DNV is titled "Regulation for the prevention of air pollution from ships - technical and operational implications" and is available in electronic format or printed on recycled paper.
