2020 - 0.50% m/m sulphur marine fuel oils

Issued: 2017-10-19 01:13:13 UTC | Category: Archived bulletins/alerts

This is an update to our previous bulletin issued last year announcing the decision made during MEPC 70 to implement the 0.50% sulphur limit on marine fuels in-use from 1 January 2020 for ships operating outside Sulphur Emission Control Areas (ECA-SOx). The quality and availability landscape of 0.50% Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) will continue to evolve until 2020 and beyond. Currently, the information available is mostly reliant on predictive models and estimates being filtered into the public domain.
