As global shipping accelerates its transition towards a greener future, shipowners must meet increasingly regulatory requirements for stricter emission-reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Under the MARPOL Annex VI, new vessels keel laid after 2016 operating in designated Tier III NOX Emission Control Areas - such as the North American, U.S. Caribbean, Baltic Sea and North Sea - must meet significantly stricter NOX limits.
As these regulated ECA zones continue to expand, continuous emissions monitoring is becoming essential for optimized and environmentally responsible vessel operations - and achieving this doesn’t have to be complicated.
MES 1001 is a continuous in-situ CEMS designed to measure NOX, SO₂ and NH₃ directly in the exhaust stream. Engineered for demanding marine environments, it provides accurate, real-time emissions data to support compliance, enhance operational decision-making, and ensure full transparency of onboard emission performance.
Using MES 1001 for SCR optimization poses several benefits. With robust sensor technology and a streamlined design, MES 1001 supports both open-loop monitoring and closed-loop SCR control, helping operators optimize urea dosing, and improve overall NOX-reduction performance. In addition, direct NH₃ slip measurement enables effective SCR condition monitoring.
With easy installation and a user-friendly setup, MES 1001 provides a future-proof solution for efficient and compliant vessel operation.
