Annex VI contains provisions for two sets of emission and fuel quality requirements regarding SOx and PM, or NOx, a global requirement and more stringent controls in special Emission Control Areas (ECA). These regulations stemmed from concerns about the contribution of the shipping industry to \"local and global air pollution and environmental problems.\" By July 2010 a revised more stringent Annex VI was enforced with significantly tightened emissions limits.As of 2011 there were four existing ECAs: the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the North American ECA, including most of US and Canadian coast and the US Caribbean ECA. Also other areas may be added via protocol defined in Annex VI. ECAs with nitrous oxid thresholds are denoted as Nitrogen Oxide Emission Control Areas (NECAs)."@en }
