At the same time, it shall not be so burdensome as to unduly delay the ship or to require in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of a particular engine or specialist measuring devices not available on board. However, the procedures associated with the method applied are to be approved by the Administration. If the method differs from the verification procedure method specified in the technical file as originally approved, the procedure of the method needs to be either added as an amendment to the technical file or appended as an alternative to the procedure given in the technical file.
Thereafter the shipowner may choose which of the methods approved in the technical file is to be used to demonstrate compliance. All the components listed are to be fitted with identification markings according to the Technical File, normally referred to as IMO-marking.
What can we assume? Well, that the air pollution prevention is preserved just by comparing numbers! Who holds these IMO-markings? The engine makers who have another way to exercise their monopoly on the spare parts market now. What can this IMO-marking method carry out? A mess! Emisa wants to fight the effect of the Marpol Annex VI on the independent makers, who have the merit to keep the after market business still alive and free.
In fact, although the independent makers build up their fame on the quality of their parts and services, they seem to be ignored by the institutions. The control of diesel engine NO x emissions is achieved through the survey and certification requirements leading to the issue of an Engine International Air Pollution Prevention EIAPP Certificate and the subsequent demonstration of in service compliance in accordance with the requirements of the mandatory, regulations The NO x control requirements of Annex VI apply to installed marine diesel engine of over kW output power other than those used solely for emergency purposes irrespective of the tonnage of the ship onto which such engines are installed.
Different levels Tiers of control apply based on the ship construction date, a term defined in regulations 2. Ship construction date on or after. In accordance with regulation Certification issued in accordance with the NOx Technical Code would still remain valid over the service life of such engines.
An engine may be certified on an individual, Engine Family or Engine Group basis in accordance with one or more of the four duty test cycles as given in appendix II of the Annex.
