IMO moves on sulphur limits
An amendment to support consistent implementation of the forthcoming 0.5 per cent limit on sulphur in ships’ fuel oil has
been adopted by the IMO. The new limit (reduced from 3.5 per cent) on sulphur in fuel oil will be in force from 1 January
2020, under IMO’s MARPOL treaty, with benefits for the environment and human health.
