2020 – HSFO availability in conjunction with Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS)

Issued: 2017-12-05 01:53:45 UTC | Category: Archived bulletins/alerts

This bulletin is a follow up from our FAQ’s issued a few weeks ago regarding the implementation of 0.50% sulphur limit on marine fuels in-use from 1 January 2020 for ships operating outside Sulphur Emission Control Areas (ECA-SOx). As the 2020 implementation date is approaching, details regarding fuel quality, availability, implementation framework and alternative, renewable and greener technological enabled solutions continue to emerge. One of the key questions being asked is about the availability of residual High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO) post 2020 for ships fitted with EGCS.
