An Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS), often referred to as scrubbers, is a device installed onboard marine vessels that literally “scrubs” harmful sulphur oxides from exhaust gases.

The technology is commonly installed on ships seeking compliance options in the face of tighter emissions regulations. Scrubbers have been adopted for compliance within Emission Control Areas near coastlines. They are also being installed to comply with the International Maritime Organization’s global sulphur cap from 1st January 2020.

Designed for maritime professionals navigating the complexities of environmental regulations and energy efficiency, this series of courses delves into essential topics including EEXI and CII compliance, Shipboard Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) implementation, and effective fuel management strategies in light of the Sulphur Cap 2020. Gain insight into the latest industry standards and best practices for minimising environmental impact while optimising vessel performance.

This comprehensive learning path will help you to understanding and implementing MARPOL regulations. Designed for maritime professionals, this series of courses covers fundamental aspects of the MARPOL Convention, including its objectives, regulations, and requirements. Explore the importance of proper garbage and waste management practices to prevent pollution of the marine environment, and learn what a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) is and why it aids in effectively responding to oil spills and protecting marine ecosystems.

This course explores the importance of social wellbeing for maritime seafarers, covering key components, influencing factors, and practical strategies to enhance social interactions on board.
