The International Maritime Organization ( IMO ) adopted legally binding regulations for the control of ships’ atmospheric emissions under Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, 1973/78. With Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia being States Parties thereto, consequently, one of the effects in the Malacca and Singapore Straits is that it enables the Straits States, together with the IMO , to designate emission control areas for the approximately 75,000 ships transiting annually. This article examines the robust provisions of Annex VI for the marine environmental protection of the Straits and the contentious debates preceding an otherwise dead-locked technology-transfer resolution for implementing Annex VI . If implemented, Annex VI provisions will represent a unique milestone in the protection of the marine environment of the Straits which is regulated by the restrictive provisions of Part III of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

通过实施 MARPOL 附则 VI 保护马六甲海峡和新加坡海峡免受船舶大气排放的影响

国际海事组织 (IMO) 根据 1973/78 年《国际防止船舶造成海洋污染公约》附件六通过了具有法律约束力的船舶大气排放控制条例。由于新加坡、马来西亚和印度尼西亚是其缔约国，因此马六甲和新加坡海峡的影响之一是它使海峡各国与 IMO 能够为每年大约 75,000 艘过境船舶指定排放控制区。本文考察了附件六中关于海峡海洋环境保护的有力规定，以及在为实施附件六而陷入僵局的技术转让决议之前的有争议的辩论。如果实施，
