Presentation Transcript

  1. Overview • MARPOL Annex VI • New Standards • Emission Control Areas • Non- MARPOL Actions • EU • California • What technical standards are needed in light of the new regulations?

  2. MARPOL Annex VI • MARPOL Annex VI • International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships • 6 Annexes to Treaty • Annex VI: Air Emissions from Ships • Regulates NOx, SOx, PM, and other pollutants • Adopted in 1997 • Entered into force 2005 • New standards adopted last month • Standards effective in July 2010 and later

  3. New International Standards New Standards will result in large reductions • New engines • Tier 2: 20% reduction from Tier 1 in 2012 • Tier 3: 80% reduction from Tier 1 in 2016 • Geographic standard – applies in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) • Fuel Sulfur Limits (to address SOx and PM) • July 2010: 1% in ECAs • 2012: Global cap falls to 3.5% • 2015: ECA cap falls to .1% • 2020: Global cap falls to .5% • - subject to review in 2018

  4. Effects of the New Standards • Different engine technologies likely to be used by the major engine manufacturers to meet Tier III NOx standards (e.g., SCR vs EGR / HAM). • New sulfur limits further raise question of whether existing ISO standards are fully adequate? • Need for further technical guidance related to fuel switching?

  5. Where Can We Expect New Emission Limits? • EU At-Berth Requirement: 1000 ppm - 1 Jan 2010 • North America: West, Gulf, and East Coasts as well as the St. Lawrence / Great Lakes. • How soon? - 2012, if adopted at MEPC 60 • California requirements: 2009 / 2012 • Other Candidates: - Mediterranean, Black Sea, Eastern Atlantic - Tokyo Bay, Hong Kong, Shanghai
