Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
-
-
-
-
NOx Emissions are dependant on engine speed, the greater the RPM, greater the fuel consumption so the greater the emissions
Sulphur Oxides (SOx)
-
SOx Emissions
-
Special Emission Control Areas (SECA): North Sea & Baltic, North America ECA for NOx & SOx from 2012
Outside SECA
Max of 4.5% m/m sulphur
-
Further reductions ongoing until 01st Jan 2020 to 0.5 % m/m sulphur (this is known as the Global Sulphur Cap)
Records need to be kept to show that appropriate fuel change over is taking place. Heavy fines have resulted in USA where evidence shows non-compliance with SECA requiremments
-
Passage Planning to ensure sufficient bunkers of the correct SOx grade are available for all voyage within Emission Control Areas.
-
Note Greener Future Fuel Alternatives: such as Methanol SOx cut by 99%, particulates cut by 95%, NOx reduced by 60%, CO2 reduced by 25% and Biodegradable. see example of Stena Germanica (YouTube)
