New ECAs planned in North-East Atlantic and Canadian Arctic
A group of European countries plan to submit a proposal for an Emission Control Area in the North-East Atlantic Ocean next year to the IMO, while Canada aims to submit their own proposal for an ECA in the Arctic
The proposed Emission Control Area in the North-East Atlantic for sulphur oxide, particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions would link existing ECAs in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and the English Channel
