USCG – EGCS short-term temporary SOx exceedances

The USCG Cruise Ship National Center of Expertise (CSNCOE) issued a notice providing Coast Guard expectations for dealing with alarms from exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCSs) where the alarms are triggered by short-term temporary SOx emission exceedances due to predictable operations of cruise ships. The ship's scrubber manual or safety management system (SMS) should identify the temporary exceedances that may be expected to occur under specific operating conditions and the length of time each exceedance would be expected to continue. The scrubber manual or SMS should also clarify the maximum amount of time that would be considered to be a short-term temporary exceedance before the vessel would need to switch over to compliant fuel.
