Countdown To IMO 2020 Begins, POSCO Poses Readiness To Mass-Produce SOx Scrubbers

scrubber1

Starting 1 January 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce a new 0.5% global sulfur cap on fuel content, lowering from the present 3.5% limit. As the ultimate goal of the regulation is to reduce SOx emissions in shipping, the industry stakeholders are devising potential solutions such as fuel switching and SOx scrubber.

To support the shipping industry in meeting the 2020 sulfur cap, POSCO is more prepared than ever – with its capacity to mass-produce high-grade...

IMO Sulphur 2020 Regulation: Driving A Ship Propulsion Revolution

IMO Driving a propulsion revolution

IMO initial GHG strategy is driving a new propulsion revolution. Speaking at London International shipping Week, IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim said, “The initial strategy adopted last year is a major policy commitment for a drastic reduction of GHG emissions from ships, with a specific linkage to the Paris Agreement, and clear levels of ambition – including at least a 50 per cent cut in emissions from the sector by 2050, compared to 2008.

“In the short-term, IMO will consider concrete...

As the days count down to the entry into force of the 2020 0.5% sulphur cap, preparation is key. DNV GL offers a free web-based application of the Ship Implementation Plan (SIP) that ship owners and managers can use to prepare vessel-specific SIPs and maintain an overview of their fleet. While not mandatory, the SIP is an IMO guidance which all ships are encouraged to prepare and implement to be ready for 1 January 2020.

“As we approach 2020, good preparation will be...

The shipping industry is under increasing pressure to act upon the Paris Agreement and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The substantial emission reductions which must be achieved over the next decades are expected to drive technology development and, in particular, the introduction of low-carbon fuels. Furthermore, authorities are increasingly paying attention to the consequences of hazardous NOX, SOX and particle emissions at the local level.

Around the world, air...
