From what I have heard the only ships that emit low NOx are ones that use gas turbines.
The biggest users of gas turbine are the US navy as far as I can tell. Because gas turbines are very high dollar, need fairly clean fuel, burning high sulfur can erode turbine pieces.
The big diesel piston engine ships and boiler ships have little to no emissions controls.
