The Paris
and the Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control
(PSC) have issued warning letters on the sulfur content of marine fuels
ahead of 2020.
Issued during inspections, the letters are expected to increase
awareness of and encourage timely compliance with the new IMO
requirements, the PSC administrations said.
The implementation of the global sulfur cap will have considerable
implications on ship operators, the fuel oil supply chain and the
industry as a whole.
To facilitate a smooth and consistent implementation of the global 2020
sulfur cap, the Paris and the Tokyo MOUs will carry out a joint
information campaign by issuing a letter of warning to ships during
inspections this year.
A letter of warning
will be issued to ships found not yet ready for compliance with the
relevant requirements that will enter into force at the beginning of
2020, the PSCs said.
