Regulation 13(1)(c) - Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Parent topic: MARPOL Annex VI

Regulation 13(1)(c) reads as follows:

 Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, the Administration may allow exclusion from the application of this regulation to any diesel engine which is installed on a ship constructed, or on a ship which undergoes a major conversion, before the entry into force of the present Protocol, provided that the ship is solely engaged in voyages to ports or offshore terminals within the State of the flag of which the ship is entitled to fly.

Interpretation:

 For application of this regulation the term "on a ship which undergoes a major conversion," should be interpreted as an error inserting the concept of 'ship' in place of 'engine', ship conversion is not given elsewhere within the Annex. In order to be consistent with regulation 13(1)(a)(i) & (ii) this should be read as "or engine which undergoes a major conversion".
