28SEP2018 - NEWS - Norwegian Maritime Authority plans to use drones for inspection of sulphur content from ships exhaust systems

The Norwegian Maritime Authority plans to use drones equipped with sensors to measure sulphur content from ships’ exhaust systems in its inspection work. The decision was made following several tests this year that proved drones’ ability to measure successfully the sulphur content emitted by ships and detect those in potential breach of regulations. The move is in line with the maritime authority’s focus on the environmental issues faced by the maritime industry, especially ahead of the ever more stricter regulations, such as as the upcoming 2020 sulphur cap.
