REVIEW OF MARPOL ANNEX VI AND THE NOX TECHNICAL CODE

The document advocates for the adoption of strict international emission standards for both new and existing ship engines to mitigate health and environmental impacts. It proposes specific reduction targets for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur oxides (SOx) by 2010 and 2015, suggests lowering the worldwide sulphur content limit for marine fuel, and calls for the establishment of particulate matter (PM) standards by January 1, 2009.

• The document recommends that amendments to MARPOL Annex VI require NOx emission reductions in the 90% range for new and existing engines by 2015 at the latest, with interim reductions of 40-50% required by 2010.
• The submission proposes SOx emission reductions in the 70-90% range for new and existing ships by 2015, and suggests lowering the worldwide sulphur content limit for marine fuel to a maximum of 1% by 2010 and 0.5% by 2015.
• The document calls for substantial reductions in particulate matter (PM) and requests that if the Sub-Committee cannot agree on reductions at BLG 11, a process be established to recommend specific PM standards no later than 1 January 2009.
