Abstract
According to Lloyd’s Marine Intelligence experts, the world merchant fleet as for 2018 has more than 50,000 vessels with a total carrying capacity of about 1.4 billion tons, which carry about 75% of the goods, transported all over the world. The part of harmful emissions from ship power plants into the atmosphere is relatively not high and does not exceed 5–7%. However, the requirements for the environmental performance of marine diesel engines are becoming more stringent from year to year. This is explained by the large aggregate capacity, which in some cases already exceeds 100 MW. Thus, in areas of intensive navigation, air pollution can reach critical values.
