Section 8.6, MARPOL Annex VI |
The USCG has published specific guidelines for ensuring compliance with MARPOL Annex VI, known as CG-543 Policy Letter 09-01. Vessel compliance must be verified with this policy prior to issuing the IAPP.
Relevant engines must have EIAPP Certificates issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), establishing NOx Code compliance with Regulation 13. Also, manuals and procedures referenced in Survey Checklist Items DC-100 and DD-100 must likewise be approved by the EPA.
If NOx after-treatment devices are employed to comply with Annex VI, such devices need to be approved as part of the EPA engine certification process.
If exhaust gas cleaning systems are required to meet SOx emission standards for the vessel to comply with SECA transit, such systems must be approved by the USCG.
