User Pays and Environmental Certificates Environmental regulators now require many boat owners to provide a MARPOL certificate from the marina showing that they have discharged their wastewater at the marina and have not dumped it at sea or in the harbour. ...
Marpol Certified On-Board Food Waste Industrial Shredder Volumetric reduction is essential for the correct disposal of many materials. ...
Most of the plastic that ends up in the seas comes from two different causes: the activities of large ships and offshore platforms; incorrect disposal of waste on land. Marpol Convention and the Marine Waste Regulation One of the main treaties regulating the risks of marine pollution is the MARPOL Convention (acronym for MARine POLlution). The ...
Air emissions from the marine industry therefore are becoming more important and are increasingly subject to strict targets for reduction of oxides of sulphur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx) through the international MARPOL regulations. Compliance to the latest phases of these tightening regulations requires state-of-the art emissions measurement, monitoring and mitigation ...
Limitations with respect to emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) have also been introduced by IMO, under the MARPOL regulations. In a further effort to reduce the environmental footprint of the marine industry, IMO has decided that the low-sulfur emission requirements will be applied globally from 2020. ...

The emission results were shown to be well within the MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, “MARine-POLlution”) guidelines with CO emissions being exceptionally low at 3 mg/MJ, which is less than 2% of the MARPOL limit (200 mg/MJ). Although not yet required by MARPOL, the system was shown to be ...
