New legal driver for emissions monitoring

摘要

Concern that others may follow Norway's lead in imposing duties on Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions from ships - the first environmentally driven penalty tax in shipping working on the principle that the polluter pays - is pressing the case for continuous emissions monitoring, according to Martek Marine. The company has made the running in developing 'MariNox' as viable monitoring technology for shipboard operations since its launch at Nor-Shipping two years ago.
