MARPOL amendments
which entered into force on 1 January 2013:
Annex VI emissions
Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI designate certain waters adjacent to the
coasts of Puerto Rico (United States) and the US Virgin Islands (United States) as the
US Caribbean Sea Emission Control Area
for the control of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulphur oxides (SOX) and
particulate matter under regulations 13 and 14 of MARPOL Annex VI.
Another amendment makes old steamships exempt from the requirements on sulphur
content of fuel oil used on board ships in both the North American and United
States Caribbean Sea ECAs. The new US Caribbean Sea ECA takes effect 12 months
after entry into force, that is, 1 January 2014.
