  2. 1. Sulphur Regulations for Shipping – Why a Regional Approach?: Scientific and Economic Arguments in IMO Documents 1988-1997

    Author : Erik Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; costs; framing; shipping; SECA; distribution; environmental; policy environment; international; MARPOL; conceptual lens; IMO; Annex VI; regional approach; economic interests; directional problem; benefits; policy-making; SOx; science;

    Abstract : Some environmental issues for shipping are regulated globally with uniform standards and others with stricter regulations in specific areas. This thesis aims to provide an understanding of why a regional approach was chosen with SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs) as the main form of control of sulphur oxide emissions from international shipping, with explanations based on documents from negotiations within the International Maritime Organization (IMO) during 1988-1997.

  4. 2. The Regulation of Global SOx Emissions from Ships: IMO proceedings 1988-2008

    Author : Erik Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; IMO; SOx; global cap; Annex VI; MARPOL; air pollution; ships; sulphur oxides; policy-making; emissions;

    Abstract : MARPOL Annex VI regulates air pollution from international shipping. Emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) are regulated through a global limit for the sulphur content of bunker fuels (referred to as a global cap) as well as a stricter limit in particularly sensitive areas, referred to as SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs).

  5. 3. Regulating Vessel-Source Air Pollution - Standard-Setting in the Regulation of SOx Emissions

    Author : Philip Almestrand Linné; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ships; air pollution; SOx emissions; regulation; regulatory design; command and control; standard-setting; international environmental law; regulatory studies;

    Abstract : Emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) cause considerable global environmental and human health impacts including acidification, climate change, and increased premature deaths in human populations due to serious heart and lung diseases. Although recently revised regulations in MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI are expected to decrease SOx emissions from ships, it is clear that these regulations will need further development. READ MORE

  6. 4. Management of ship-generated waste - illustrated from the Baltic Sea perspective
