Strict emission limitations are set forth for vessels operating in Emission Control Areas (ECA).

These emission reduction requirements will have severe implications for ship owners and charterers as well as for entire supply chains within the ECAs.

DNV recommends that operators start their preparations now, thereby being able to understand and manage the business risks involved, making it possible to come out as winners when the legislations become significantly tighter in 2015 and 2016.

With the new advisory service “ECA Survival Kit” DNV offers to help operators turning the emission reduction requirements into business benefits.
