International Control of Pollution from Ships Sample Clauses

International Control of Pollution from Ships. The EPA and U.S. Congressional reports agree that large ships similar in size to container ships, tankers, and cruise ships are not trivial contributors to regional and global air pollution (EPA, 2013; Copeland, 2008). According to the EPA, pollution from large marine diesel engines is expected to contribute more than 2.1 million tons of NOx emissions each year by 2030, and increase PM2.5 emissions to 170,000 tons per year (EPA, 2013). Emissions from the main propulsion and auxiliary engines onboard ocean-going vessels, including those operating on the OCS, are controlled at the point and time of manufacturer (OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer) and must meet emission standards imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The IMO is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for maritime safety and security, and is concerned with the prevention of marine pollution from ships. Established in 1959, the IMO includes the United States as a signatory country and the U.S. EPA is a participant on the U.S. delegation to the IMO. In 1973, IMO adopted the MARPOL (short for marine pollution) Convention to minimize specific types of pollution of the seas.
