As for new regulations, some of the NOx reduction technologies including SCR and EGR are briefed. Some of the next generation technology development projects detailed include the hybrid tug boat, use of lithium batteries on board, fuel emulsion in reducing NOx emission, CFRP propeller, liquid hydrogen transportation, and maritime big data centre.<br \/>\nAbout the presenter:<br \/>\nDr. M.
