Compliance with the 2020 "Global Sulphur Cap"/Соответствие "Глобальным пределам выбросов серы" 2020 года

Издание на английском языке
From 1 January 2020, in accordance with MARPOL Annex VI, the sulphur content of fuel oil used on board commercial ships trading outside sulphur Emission Control Areas (ECAs) must not exceed 0.50% m/m. This provisional ICS Guidance has been prepared for the vast majority of ships that will comply with the Global Sulphur Cap immediately after 1 January 2020 using fuel oils with a sulphur content of 0.50% m/m or less. The "transition" period is in reality the period up until midnight on 31 December 2019. Shipping companies and charterers, as well as ships’ crews, need to fully prepare now.
