ICS PUBLISHES FREE 32 PAGE GUIDE ABOUT NEW SULPHUR RULE COMPLIANCE FROM JANUARY 2020
To assist shipping companies to prepare for implementation of the UN IMO global sulphur cap for ships’ fuel oil, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has produced – free of charge – some comprehensive guidance on implementation planning, to help ensure compliance across the shipping industry with this regulatory game changer.
The free ICS guidance has been prepared for the vast majority of ships that will comply after 1 January 2020 using fuel oils with a sulphur content of 0.50% m/m or less.
ICS Secretary General, Guy Platten, explained: “Shipping companies may need to start ordering compliant fuels from as early as the middle of 2019, and they are strongly recommended to commence developing implementation plans as soon as possible.”

CLIPPER VENTURES EMBARKS ON EXPANSION PLAN IN CHINA
Clipper Ventures has announced the biggest expansion in its 23 year history with the opening of a new division in China.
The company, organiser of the Round the World Yacht Race, hopes that Clipper China will become the industry leader in the development of offshore training and sailing events in the country.
Together with running its own academies, the new division will build its own one-design keelboats and offshore racing yacht fleets under the aegis of British naval architect Tony Castro Design.
Announcing the news at the first China Sailing Cities forum in Beijing, William Ward OBE, chief executive and co- founder (together with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston) of Clipper Ventures, said: “Interest in sailing in China has never been higher. China has featured on the Clipper race route for the past 14 years. Out of over 40 nationalities of crew, China is now our third highest represented.”
The creation of the new division follows the meeting earlier this year between Clipper Ventures, the GREAT Britain campaign and the yachting associations of China and the UK. This meeting, held during the Clipper 2017-2018 race’s stopover in Qingdao, saw all parties committing to help make China a world sailing force.
Clipper China aims to open its first academy and launch the first yachts in its one-design fleet next year.
