Ship owners should start planning for the 2020 sulphur cap, as time frame is closing rapidly says DNV GL
One the “hottest” debates in the shipping industry over the
past couple of weeks has been the recent decision by the IMO, to enforce
clean-fuels burning from all vessels from 2020 onwards. Can you detail
us the future course of action towards the abolition of Heavy Fuel Oils?
The global 0.5% sulphur cap will be introduced in 2020, and up to
70,000 ships may be affected by the regulation according to IMO
estimates.
