ICCT finds growth in shipping in Arctic could increase pollutant emissions 150-600% by 2025 with current fuels

MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on NO x and SO x emissions from ship exhaust, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting substances. If container vessel diversion is included, low-growth scenario emissions would increase by 200 to 300 percent above 2011 levels, assuming continued use of heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil (MDO).
