The deadline for the reduction of global sulphur
content emissions is fast approaching
On 16 April 2018 the European Commission published a report on implementation and compliance with the sulphur standards for marine fuels set out in Directive (EU) 2016/802 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels. The report describes the progress made by Member States and the maritime industry in implementing EU rules under the Directive that led to a significant drop of air pollution from sulphur oxides emitted from ships.
The report follows the approval on 13 April 2018 by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) of draft amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL Convention) Annex VI prohibiting the carriage of fuel oil noncompliant with the sulphur content limit. These amendments aim at ensuring the implementation of the 0.50% sulphur limit in marine fuels as of 2020.
IIMS set out to interview and get the views from marine giant, Wärtsilä, one of the leading players who have a special and keen interest in this new regulation.
