UNFCCC was adopted in 1992 in order to prevent global warming. However, as a lack of concrete reduction goal and implementation plan, UNFCCC could not have effectiveness. In 1997, Kyoto Protocol to UNFCCC was adopted and UNFCCC regime started practically binding on the parties. Global warming takes the leading role in changing marine environment such as the rising of water level and sea water temperature. Also, Ocean plays the vital role in storing carbon to prevent global warming. Meanwhile ships which get the propulsion generated by consuming the fossil fuel are identified as GHG source and the discussions regarding the control of GHG emitted from ships are still in progress in IMO. IMO instrument has some legal conflicts with UNFCCC in principle. Therefore, this paper reviews the present UNFCCC regime and UNCLOS. Also, it surveys activities of IMO and analyze the Amendment to MARPOL73/78 Annex VI which entered into force on January 1, 2013. Finally, conclusions suggest the improvements in order to ensure effectiveness the new Amendment to MARPOL73/78 practically.

The 62nd session of the MARINE Environment Protection Committee was held in London from 11 to 15 July 2011. Mandatory measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from international shipping were adopted at the Committee. The amendment to MARPOL Annex VI includes a new chapter 4 to make mandatory the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all ships. This first mandatory measures on energy efficiency will enter into force on 1 January 2013. This amendment to MARPOL Annex VI will significantly influences the vast majority of the international maritime community. This paper mainly discusses the main results of MEPC 62nd session including the recent Emission Control Area.

The Protocol adopted in Sep. 1997 included the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78, which will enter into force on 19 May 2005. MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of volatile organic compound (VOCs) from oil tanker in port and oil terminal. This study was conducted to find out countermeasures for the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78 and draw up a feasible management plan. The emission quantity of NOx and SOX from ships in Ulsan Port was calculated by U.S. EPA and Japan Marine Engineering emission factors of air pollutant from ship exhausts. In addition, volatile organic compound (VOCs) from oil tanker during the loading and discharging period, also calculated.

The Protocol adopted in Sep. 1997 included the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78, which entered into force on 19 May 2005. Revision for the accept MARPOL Annex VI with make public on 29 Dec. 2005 and enforce on 29 Jun. 2006. For all that not installation at oil terminal or if installed do not used. The purpose of this study is to research and evaluate the methods of sampling and analysis, and the pollution measure of existed VOCs during the bulk liquid cargo operation at vessels. As the sampling instrument of VOCs, Tedlar bag has the effect of decrease in concentration by the chemical reaction and absorption, and the method using the solvent extraction has error cause because of the extraction, the absorption tube has error by the breakthrough. But canister is the best sampling instrument because of having no sampling mistake. The study on VOCs emission is not sufficient for the research on the pollution cause and the analysis data on the HAP during the bulk liquid cargo operation at vessels. Hence, monitoring on the management hazardous VOCs need to be continued during the cargo operation at vessels and VOCs management field must be study for the make progress at a good pace for reason of crew's health.

The strengthened regulations for atmospheric emissions from ships like MARPOL Annex VI have caused a necessity of new, alternative power system in ships for the low pollutant emissions and the high energy efficiency. This paper attempts to investigate the configuration of SOFC system for LNG tanker taking into account the safety and to analyze the influence of design parameters on the system performance. The simulation results provide the basic data for the design and efficiency improvement of SOFC system and indicate the guidelines for the safe system operation.

According to the NOx regulations of annex Vi to IMO MARPOL 73/78, all diesel engines with a power output of more than 130 kW should be delivered so as to comply with the IMO speed dependent NOx limit. It is inevitable to adopt this regulations for marine engines Therefore, most of diesel engines which are being currently built should be designed and tested in accordance with the NOx technical code In this study, NOx concentrations of 4 type engines were measured with portable NOx measuring system recommended by ISO-8178. As the results NOx concentrations of each engine by variation of engine speed and engine load were visualized Also these results can be utilized for the basic design and development of diesel engine for NOx reduction.

최근 전 세계적으로 수송수단과 산업시설에서의 배출로 인한 대기오염의 심각성을 강조하고 있다. 특히 항만과 공항에서도 대기오염의 중요성을 인지하고 있고 지역별 대기오염물질 배출 및 대기오염도 현황을 분석하여 각 시설에서의 종합관리방안을 도출하고 있다. 2020년부터 시행되는 국제해사기구(IMO)의 선박에서 배출되는 온실가스 즉, 황성분을 포함한 연소배기가스 중 CO2, SOX,NOX, PM2.5의 배출규제에의 대응과 배출규제해역(ECA)제도 도입에 따른 업계와 정부, 학회의 대비도 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 부산항에서도 항내계류선박과 하역장비에서의 오염물질 배출을 억제하기 위한 대체전력공급(AMP, Cold Ironing)에 대해 대응하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시주민의 건강을 위협하는 미세먼지(PM2.5)의 심각성과 배출가스의 저감을 위한 방안을 소개하고 오히려 이를 해운항만에서의 4차산업 발전의 계기로 대응하도록 하는 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 산업화 과정에서 필연적인 대기오염을 저감시키는 방안이 새로운 해양산업으로 전환하기를 기대한다.

In the recent International Maritime Organization's (IMOs) Maritime Safety Committee's 93rd session, the International Chamber of Shipping and International Parcel Tankers Association addressed marine fuel oil quality problems: increasing diluents in marine fuel oil, ignition in engine rooms due to the low flash point of fuel oil, and marine fuel oils that can damage marine engines. To deal with these marine fuel oil quality problems, the International Maritime Organization secretariat appointed the worlds marine fuel oil monitoring institute and constituted a correspondence group to determine the fuel oil quality required by MARPOL Annex VI regulation 14.8 (sulfur content less than 0.5%). In this study, basic research that can help with responding to marine fuel quality issues and the IMO's work is conducted. In order to perform this basic research, the off-spec ratio related to the fuel oil quality standard (ISO 8217:2012), density distribution tendency, gross specific energy, and correlation between components in the fuel oil are analyzed through actual marine fuel oil (residual marine fuel) data from the Port of Singapore.
