All ships including submersibles, floating craft/platforms, FSUs and FPSOs) are to manage their ballast.
HOW TO REDUCE & CONTROL NOX EMISSIONS ? - Complying with MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 13: NITROGEN OXIDES
The diagram below shows the typical exhaust emissions from a slow speed diesel engine. The components that concern us, are the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulphur Oxides (SOx), Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons, and Particular Matter.
A draft protocol has been.
