IMO-2020年1月1日施行、国際的な硫黄酸化物排出規制に向けた準備の強化

IMOは2020年1月1日施行の硫黄酸化物排出規制に向け、11月18日にロンドン本部で開催された円卓会議で挙げられた業界関係者の意見や指摘等をまとめた情報を11月25日付で発表しました。

As 1 January 2020 approaches, the IMO has issued a Press Briefing dated 25.11.2019 in which it reports on some of the views and indications which came out of a roundtable industry meeting which it hosted at its London Headquarters on 18 November. In brief, the IMO reports that the meeting "saw increasing confidence towards consistent implementation", that "it was felt supply [of compliant fuel] would generally be available, with some exceptions" and that "more ship operators and owners are beginning to gain experience of compliant fuels". The Briefing also reminds all stakeholders of the many publications including guidelines, guidances, best practices, FAQs, presentations, etc. which are available as they make preparations to meet the new lower sulphur limit in their fuels.  Links to all these resources are provided in the IMO's Briefing."
