3.1 Maximum allowable NOx emission limits for marine diesel engines

  3.1.1 The graph in figure 1 represents the maximum allowable NOx emission limit values based on the formulae included in paragraph 3(a) of regulation 13 of Annex VI. The total weighted NOx emissions, as measured and calculated in accordance with the procedures in this Code, shall be equal to or less than the applicable value from the graph corresponding to the rated speed of the engine.
