On board exhaust gas cleaning systems: UK21/P001
Adopted EU recommendation POL-004. UK approved recommendation on certifying on board exhaust gas cleaning systems.
Question
Is it acceptable to issue certificates for on board exhaust gas cleaning systems, where for confirmation of the pH value in the overboard wash water a calculation method is used contrary to the actual measurements in the plume, as required by MEPC.184(59) superseded by MEPC.259(68)?
Recommendation
Yes, MEPC.259(68) superseding the MEPC. 184(59) allows to apply a calculation method for the overboard washwater.
