Press article: The perplexities of IMO's 2020 Global Sulphur Cap

With less than nine months before Regulation 14.1 of Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention comes into effect, there are many challenges associated with compliance and enforcement, which have cast uncertainty across the marine sector.
IMO regulations to reduce sulphur emissions from ships first came into force in 2005 and since then, the limits on sulphur content have been progressively tightened; the regulations apply to all ships flying the flag or entering waters of a member state. The current global sulphur limit (per MARPOL but outside emission control areas (ECAs)) of 3.5 per cent m/m will be reduced to 0.5
per cent m/m from 1 January 2020.
