MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on the emission of sulphur, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and others, and to date some 40 countries, representing more than 80percent of the world's fleet, have ratified Annex VI. Unfortunately, Canada has yet to do so, despite intense lobbying, I would have to say, at times by the domestic and international marine community.
Malheureusement, le Canada ne l'a pas encore fait, malgré un lobbying intense, si je peux dire, de la communauté maritime nationale et internationale.
