Regulation 26.1 of MARPOL Annex VI requires each ship of 400 gross tonnages and above, subject to Chapter 4 to keep on board a ship specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). The purpose of Part I of SEEMP is to establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon intensity of a ship's operation. Preferably, this aspect of the ship-specific SEEMP is linked to a broader corporate energy management policy for the company that owns, operates or controls the ship, recognizing that no two shipping companies are the same, and that ships operate under a wide range of different conditions.

In this article, a brief explanation on the limiting requirements for NOx emissions from marine diesel engines is given and the three emission tiers are briefly reviewed.
The share of the transportation sector in the emission of greenhouse gases in the world is 25%, of which 2.9% is the emission of pollution related to the marine industry. The change in global laws in order to reduce the environmental impact has forced the shareholders of the marine industry to implement measures in the direction of decarburization.
