Arafura Container Ship SOx Test Results

The data below compares the Sulfur Dioxide test results obtained by ETC, an Australian certified laboratory, on the container ship Arafura to the standards set by the International Maritime Organization.

IMO Annex VI Regulation 14 regarding Sulfur Dioxide

Sulfur content of any fuel oil used on board ships shall not exceed 4.5%

Designation of SOx emission control areas, where one of the three following conditions must be fulfilled:

1. Sulfur content of fuel oil used on board ships does not exceed 1.5%
2. Use of exhaust gas cleaning system to reduce total SOx/SO2 emissions from both auxiliary and main propulsion engines to: 6.0g SOx/kWh (8.0g SOx/hp-hr)
3. Use of any other technological method that is verifiable and enforceable to limit SOx emissions to 6.0g SOx/kWh

Green Plus Emissions Results When Compared to IMO Standards for Ships of Arafura's Size

- Fuel consumption rate of 2.44 tons per hour on test date
- Average sulfur content of the fuel: 2.95%. Calculated sulfur dioxide level = 9.720g/kWh
- The emissions measurements indicate the ship was averaging 1700 g/min of sulfur dioxide (102,000 grams per hour) = 6.78g/kWh
- This rate is close to the IMO standard of 6.0g/kWh and is 30.26% below the expected value without Green Plus.
- In this test Green Plus was not optimized to get the lowest sulfur dioxide emissions
- New tests are underway to improve emissions reduction.
