Twin solutions for IMO Tier 111 Nox reduction

摘要

The focus on emission reduction will intensify in the year ahead when MARPOL Annex VI regulations pertaining to Nox emissions come in to place for newbuildings. Tier II emission standards will see Nox emission levels for a diesel engine, which is installed on a ship constructed on or after 1 January 2011, reduced to 14.4 g/kWh. Additional restrictions kick in for Tier III in January 2016, when newbuilds constructed on or after that cut off date with see Nox emissions from diesel engines capped at 3.4 g/kWh, when the ship is operating in a designated Emission Control Area. Outside a designated Emission Control Area, the vessels would be subjected to the limits of Tier II.
