Updated clause-by-clause analysis of MARPOL Annex VI
The IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 Project has released an updated version of its popular clause-by-clause analysis of MARPOL Annex VI, which addresses air pollution from ships. The document provides a breakdown explanation of each regulation and it is intended to be a useful resource for countries seeking to draft legislation to incorporate MARPOL Annex VI into national law.
The revised clause-by-clause analysis has been updated to reflect major amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, which were adopted by the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee at its 76th session in June 2021. Most notably, these include regulations relating to the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index and the Carbon Intensity Indicator, and reflect the renumbering of provisions in the 2021 Revised MARPOL Annex VI, set out in Resolution MEPC.328(76), which is applicable from November 1, 2022.
