8.1 Direct CO2 emission measurement is not required by regulation
27 of MARPOL Annex VI.
8.2 Direct CO2 emissions measurement, if used, should be
carried out as follows:
-
.1 this method is based on the determination of CO2
emission flows in exhaust gas stacks by multiplying the CO2
concentration of the exhaust gas with the exhaust gas flow. In case of the
absence or/and breakdown of direct CO2 emissions measurement
equipment, manual tank readings will be conducted instead;
-
.2 the direct CO2 emissions measurement equipment
applied to monitoring is located so as to measure all CO2
emissions from the ship. The locations of all equipment applied are
described in the monitoring plan; and
-
.3 calibration of the CO2 emissions measurement
equipment should be specified. Calibration and maintenance records should be
available on board.
