Fathom publishes new NOx emissions guide

The guide follows the regulatory constrictions of NOx emission levels in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) from 1 January 2016.

Its release comes after an extensive ship owner and operator survey conducted by Fathom Maritime Intelligence, highlighting the existence of an information void about the NOx reduction.

The Ship Operator’s Guide To NOx Reduction sets out the requirements of the complex regulations governing NOx emissions and provides a clear road map to selecting the most suitable technologies.

As well as advising the most suitable fuels to ensure regulatory compliance through hosting both technical information and practical considerations alongside financial data.

Future proofing any newbuild ships that are set to sail within designated ECAs from January for Tier III compliance is essential for ship owners.

As is the future proofing of any vessels for Tier II compliance with existing and upcoming technological solutions for reduction, abatement or alternative fuel use.
