Excerpt from the “The price of sulphur reductions in the Baltic Sea and North Sea shipping”, where Jukka-Pekka Jalkanen, Juha Kalli and Tapani Stipa make a strong case for Marine Exhaust Gas Scrubbers. “MARPOL Annex VI regulations on sulphur in ship fuels will cause remarkable additional costs for the sea […]
MARPOL Compliance Solutions. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, a journal published by the European Geosciences Union, in a white discussing shipping emissions in the North Sea, points out that the impact goes far beyond the shores. The North Sea is one of the areas with the highest ship traffic densities in our planet. “At […]
MARPOL Compliance Enforcement. The EPA published on January 16, a penalty policy for failure to comply with the new diesel fuel emissions standards in the North American and U.S. Caribbean Sea Emission Control Areas, also known as ECAs. The new standards, in effect since Jan. 1, 2015, call for limiting sulphur […]
CROE Marine Exhaust Gas Scrubber for MARPOL Compliance in SMM Green Shipping Guide 2015. The growing burden of MARPOL compliance and other regulations regarding emissions present ship owners both challenges and opportunities. Seeing these as possible “catalysts in shipping’s drive to raise ship operating energy efficiency”, the SMM Green Shipping Guide 2015 gathers all related information […]
The CR Ocean Engineering Marine Exhaust Gas Scrubber reduces sulphur emissions to enable vessels to meet MARPOL Annex VI for vessels sailing in the North Sea/Baltic and North American/Canada Caribbean Emissions Control Areas or ECAs. With a CR Ocean Engineering marine exhaust gas scrubber installed, ship owners can continue to […]

As a growing share of trade routes shift from air and land to the world’s oceans, nations have mobilized to limit carbon emissions and thus protect the marime environment. Emission Control Areas (ECAs), also known as Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs), were established to impose stricter controls seeking to minimize airborne emissions (SOx, NOx, ODS, […]
A case for the Marine Exhaust Gas Scrubber Without careful management and treatment, distillate fuels can cause blockages in fuel lines, damage fuel pumps and injectors and contribute to the loss of engine power, warns Eric Haun in a 3/12/2015 note on Marine Link. Another reason why a CR Ocean Marine Exhaust Gas […]
There are two basic ways to comply with the stringent new emissions regulations that came into effect January 1, 2015 in the North American and North Baltic Emission Control Areas, known as ECAs, that call for using fuel oil with a sulphur content of no more than 0.10%. In the […]
