EPA, Coast Guard Announce Agreement to Enforce Air Pollution Requirements
for Vessels Operating in U.S. Waters
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG) today announced an agreement to jointly enforce U.S.
and international air pollution requirements for vessels operating in
U.S. waters. The requirements establish limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx)
emissions and require the use of fuel with lower sulfur content,
protecting people’s health and the environment by reducing ozone-
producing pollution, which can cause smog and aggravate asthma. The most
stringent requirements apply to ships operating within 200 nautical miles
of the coast of North America.
“Today’s agreement forges a strong partnership between EPA and the U.S.
Coast Guard, advancing our shared commitment to enforce air emissions
standards for ships operating in U.S. waters,” said Cynthia Giles,
assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance. “Reducing harmful air pollution is a priority for EPA and by
working with the Coast Guard we will ensure that the ships moving through
our waters meet their environmental obligations, protecting our nation’s
air quality and the health of our coastal communities.”
"This agreement demonstrates the Coast Guard's long-standing commitment
to protecting our nation's marine environment," said Rear Adm. Kevin
Cook, director of Prevention Policy for the U.S. Coast Guard. "Aligning
our capabilities with EPA enhances our commitment to the marine
environment while minimizing the impact on shipping."
The large marine diesel engines that provide propulsion and auxiliary
power on many ocean-going vessels emit significant amounts of pollution.
Without further action, EPA estimates that by 2030, NOx emissions from
ships will more than double, growing to 2.1 million tons per year. The
memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by EPA and the USCG outlines the
agencies’ commitment to jointly enforce federal and international laws
that EPA projects could prevent 12,000-31,000 premature deaths annually
by 2030. Under the MOU, both the USCG and EPA will perform inspections
and investigations, and will take appropriate enforcement actions if a
violation is detected.
A letter to industry was also signed today by USCG and EPA to provide the
regulated community with notice that USCG and EPA will be taking measures
to promote compliance with federal and international air pollution
requirements and will be actively pursuing violations.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a United Nations agency
which deals with maritime safety, security and the prevention of marine
pollution from ships across the globe. The International Convention for
the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), developed through the
IMO, is the main international convention covering prevention of
pollution of the marine environment by ships. MARPOL Annex VI addresses
air pollution from ships through the use of both engine-based and fuel-
based standards. Additionally, MARPOL Annex VI requires ships operated in
designated geographical areas, known as emission control areas or ECAs,
to meet the most advanced standards for NOx emissions and fuel sulfur
limits. The United States became a party to MARPOL Annex VI in 2008 and
the treaty is implemented in the United States through the Act to Prevent
Pollution from Ships (APPS).
