ID664E - MARPOL Annex VI & NTC 2008
Edizione 2023
MARPOL Annex VI, Regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships, covers the requirements in
respect of both emissions to air (chapter 3) and energy efficiency (chapter 4). The requirements for control of
nitrogen oxides (NOx), given by chapter 3, are supplemented by the mandatory NOx Technical Code 2008
which covers the testing, survey and certification of marine diesel engines.
This fifth edition of the consolidated texts of MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code 2008 includes
all amendments through to those adopted at MEPC 76 in June 2021, in particular those on the IMO short-term
greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction measures (EEXI, CII and enhanced SEEMP).
Also contained are the current versions of the Guidelines and other information relevant to the application of
MARPOL Annex VI and the NOx Technical Code 2008.
