Description
MARPOL Annex VI and NTC 2008, 2023 Edition is the official IMO publication that brings together the regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships under MARPOL Annex VI, together with the NOx Technical Code 2008 (NTC 2008). Developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the publication is used as a central reference work in international maritime environmental compliance.
MARPOL Annex VI sets global requirements for the reduction of air emissions from ships, including emission limits for sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter and other air pollutants. The regulations are a fundamental part of international efforts for more environmentally friendly and sustainable maritime transport.
The publication also contains requirements related to energy efficiency, fuel quality, emission control areas (ECAs), combustion systems and monitoring of emissions from ships in international traffic.
The NOx Technical Code 2008 (NTC 2008) describes technical requirements and procedures for testing, certification and control of engine emissions from marine diesel engines. The regulations are used for type approval, inspections and documentation of engine compliance with international emission requirements.
The publication is used daily by technical departments in shipping companies, classification societies, maritime authorities, ship engineers and shipyards working with environmental requirements and technical operation of vessels. The regulations are also central to new builds, conversions and international certification.
The 2023 edition contains updated requirements and revisions adopted by the IMO to reflect modern environmental standards and further developments in international shipping. The publication serves as both a legal reference and practical tool for companies working with maritime environmental compliance.
