A Study on the Emission Control Areas and the Marginal States' Regulations that Enforce Reduction of Air Pollution from Ships

Air pollution from shipping has been increasing over the last 10 years and today's shipping is under increasing pressure to comply with evolving regulations to become cleaner and greener. The main regulation behind these changes is the IMO's MARPOL Annex VI which sets out substantial changes in exhaust emission controls and designates Emission Control Areas(ECAs) for NOX, SOX and particulate matter. The increased interest in emission policies and regulations has created an explosion of International, EU, U.S. and Canada concerning with ECAs. This study provides an overview of international framework, as the ECAs, for regulating air emissions from ships, and marginal states' policies and regulations on air emissions from international shipping. The main purpose of this study is to examine the ECAs and the marginal states' regulations for reducing the air emissions from ships, and to suggest some implications for non-ECAs, especially Korea.
