a Record Book of Engine Parameters must accompany the

engine at all times. The engine must be operated accord-

ing to the speciﬁcations of the Technical File and the survey

method stated in the Technical File. The Record Book must

Frequently Asked Questions about how to obtain an Engine

International Air Pollution Prevention (EIAPP) Certiﬁcate

US EPA

EIAPP certiﬁcates for all MAN B&W engines on US-ﬂagged

vessels must be issued by the United States’ Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA). According to instructions issued by

the EPA, application for an EIAPP certiﬁcate must be made

by the engine manufacturer.

The document is available on the EPA website:

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/oceanvessels.htm

MAN Diesel recommends all owners and operators of MAN

B&W engines installed on board US-ﬂagged ships to contact

the engine builder for information on how to obtain an EIAPP

certiﬁcate.

The EIAPP certiﬁcate must be issued before the ﬁrst dry

docking scheduled after 8 January 2009, but no later than

9 January 2012, in order for the vessel IAPP certiﬁcate to be

issued on time.
