摘要: |
The marine transportation community has begun to consider technologies that reduce air emissions from marine engines. The Maritime Administration (MARAD), in support of U.S. fleet technology development and modernization, wants to accelerate the use of economical, low air emission marine power plants in the U.S. inland and coastal waters. As the principal advocate within Government for U.S. maritime interests, MARAD has initiated a Maritime Energy and Clean Emissions Program. The Program seeks to: (1) investigate and demonstrate the potential for new technologies and fuels to improve marine power plant efficiency and to reduce air emissions; (2) Provide guidance and information on maritime energy and emissions regulatory and policy issues; and (3) protect the human and natural environment directly in contact with marine activity. This document develops a decision framework applicable for considering emission control technologies on marine engines. The framework is informed by standard decision theory, and maintains an open structure so that it may be adapted by operators with specific vessel and technology attributes that may differ from those provided here. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Maritime Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
