The voluntary notation can be assigned to ships that exceed existing MARPOL requirements for lowering pollutant emissions. Originally developed for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery – including inland vessels – Bureau Veritas’ experts have reworked the existing requirements to develop a set of standards for seagoing ships.
