How The Implementation In IMO 2020 Affected the Maritime Industry

19 March 2021

Investigating marine fuel trends, quality, and operational issues the marine industry has faced since the implementation of IMO 2020, reports Seatrade Maritime News.

The Sulphur cap

Since January 2020, the global cap on sulphur content in marine fuels was introduced through the IMO 2020 regulations.

While one cannot deny the benefits in reducing sulphur content of marine fuels, the impact of these regulations and the changes they bring to the marine fuels and shipping industry has brought...

Port Authorities ‘Flexible’ With Marginal Sulphur Breach

7 October 2020

Port state control authorities are lenient when confronted with cases of marginal non-compliance with the 0.50% sulfur cap.
While the law does not set out details on how to handle cases where fuel is tested at just over the 0.50% limit, the authorities appear not to be pursuing these cases.

Port state control authorities (PSCs) are largely showing flexibility when confronted with cases of marginal non-compliance with the 0.50% sulfur cap, reports Ship & Bunker. Singapore-based law firm Rajah...

Upcoming Environmental Regulations & Challenges for Shipowners

1 September 2020

Apart from the regulations in place to achieve GHG reduction targets, there are more regulatory hurdles to be considered.
Environmental issues and a number of stricter local regulation contribute to increased complexity.

The maritime industry is facing several upcoming environmental regulations, in addition to the regulations designed to support the IMO’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, says an article published in DNV-GL website.

What adds to the complexity?

How IMO 2020 Regulations Are Faring Amid COVID-19?

31 August 2020

The supply of VLSFO has proven more than adequate amid COVID-19.
Call on marine gasoil (MGO) as an expensive alternative has been less than expected.
Refiners have adjusted their crude sales and changed their blend component pools.
The use of marine gasoil in engines has not increased as rapidly.
This is attributed to the fact that ship engineers think in terms of volume rather than the energy content.
Competition for low sulphur heavy gasoil and waxy streams has increased.
The price of solar...

New Survey Shows VLSFO Fuel Switch ‘Has Not Been Easy’

23 August 2020

In a survey carried out by BIMCO, ICS, INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO, respondents said that LSFO had been de-bunkered as a consequence of 0.50% sulphur fuel oil properties.
The survey focused on the incidence of problematic properties of IMO 2020-compliant fuel oil that could lead to operational or other issues.
The survey was aimed at shore-based personnel, not ships’ crews, and 192 responses were submitted.

BIMCO, on Wednesday (19 August) published the results of an industry wide survey it...
