New enforced Regulations will increase fuel price by up to 300%!
LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) – The United Nations’ shipping agency set global regulations on
Thursday to limit the amount of sulfur emissions from vessels and said they would come into
force from 2020.
A session of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection
Committee in London set the new requirements, which will see sulfur emissions fall from the
current maximum of 3.5 percent of fuel content to 0.5 percent.
The move will add extra costs to the shipping industry at a time when parts of it are going
through their worst ever downturn. Analysts estimate the additional costs for the container
shipping sector alone could be $35-$40 billion.
And some also questioned whether refiners would undertake lengthy and costly investments
to produce lower sulfur fuel, and so whether there would be enough produced to meet
demand.
Environmental groups welcomed the outcome,
as well as the 2020 start date. The IMO had
considered the option of delaying introduction of
the regulations until 2025.
“This is a landmark decision and we are very
pleased that the world has bitten the bullet and is
now tackling poisonous sulphuric fuel in 2020,”
said Bill Hemmings of campaigner Transport &
Environment.
“This decision reduces the contribution of
shipping to the world’s air pollution impact from
about 5 percent down to 1.5 percent and will
save millions of lives in the coming decades.”
The shipping industry is among the world’s
biggest sulfur emitters, with sulfur oxide content
in heavy fuel oil up to 3,500 times higher than
the latest European diesel standards for
vehicles.
IMO Sets Regulations to Cut Sulphur Emissions by Ships from 2020
October 27, 2016 by Reuters
About 90 percent of world trade is transported
by sea.“There will be much to do between now
and 2020 to ensure that sufficient quantities of
compliant marine fuel of the right quality will
indeed be available, and that this radical switch
over to cleaner fuels will be implemented
smoothly … without distorting shipping markets
or having negative impacts on the movement of
world trade,” said Simon Bennett, director of
policy and external relations with the
International Chamber of Shipping association,
which also welcomed what it said was the clear
decision by IMO member states on the 2020
date. Switzerland-based MSC, the world’s No.2
container line, estimated its own additional
annual fuel costs at $2.02 billion. The group
said it had invested in energy and
environmental protection in recent years.
.
Refiners will also be affected. Around 3 million
barrels per day of high-sulfur fuel oil go into
bunker fuel for ships, and most of that will be
replaced with lower-sulfur distillates.
“The big thing that is unknown is the
implementation roadmap. That will determine
how disruptive this is going to be,” said Alan
Gelder, head of refining research with energy
consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
“The refineries will need to run in a way they
have never run before.”
Refineries that do not have the ability to convert
the fuel oil into higher quality products will
struggle to remain profitable as this big outlet
for lower-quality fuel disappears.
“Refiners will not invest to de-sulphurise fuel oil

Enforced Co2 Regulations 40% reduction by 2030, 50% - 70% by 2050.”
ICS Applauds 'Paris Agreement for Shipping’ (Co2 Reduction).”
Apr 13, 2018
Apr 13, 2018: ICS Applauds ‘Paris Agreement for Shipping’( Co2 Reduction).”
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has welcomed the high level strategy for the
further reduction of shipping’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adopted on 13 April by
the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO).
ICS Secretary General, Peter Hinchliffe said “This is a ground breaking agreement – a
Paris Agreement for shipping – that sets a very high level of ambition for the future
reduction of CO2 emissions. We are confident this will give the shipping industry the clear
signal it needs to get on with the job of developing zero CO2 fuels, so that the entire sector
will be in a position to decarbonise completely, consistent with the 1.5 degree climate
change goal.”
He added “The agreed IMO objective of cutting the sector’s total GHG
emissions by at least 50% before 2050, as part of a continuing pathway for
further reduction, is very ambitious indeed, especially when account is taken of
current projections for trade growth as the world’s population and levels of
prosperity continue to increase.”
ICS acknowledges that some governments would have preferred to see the
adoption of even more aggressive targets, but argues that a 50% total cut by
2050 can realistically only be achieved with the development and very
widespread use of zero CO2 fuels. ICS believes that if this 50% goal is
successfully met, the wholesale switch by the industry to zero CO2 fuels should
therefore follow very swiftly afterwards.
ICS says that the efficiency goal that has been agreed by IMO Member States
for the sector as a whole – a 40% improvement by 2030, compared to 2008, and
a 50-70% improvement by 2050 – is also extremely ambitious but probably
achievable. But only if governments recognise the enormity of this challenge
and facilitate the rapid development of new technologies and fuels.
Mr Hinchliffe remarked that “The industry is very encouraged by the willingness
of governments, on all sides of the debate, to co-operate and move to a position
that demonstrates unequivocally that IMO is the only body that can meaningfully
address the CO2 emissions of international shipping.”
ICS says it hopes the IMO agreement will be sufficient to discourage those who mistakenly
advocate regional measures which, as well being very damaging to global trade, would not
be effective in helping the international shipping sector to further reduce its total CO2
emissions, which are currently about 8% lower than in 2008 despite a 30% increase in
maritime trade.
As a result of the IMO agreement, ICS now expects discussions at IMO to begin in earnest
on the development of additional CO2 reduction measures, including those to be
implemented before 2023.
ICS says that the shipping industry will continue to participate constructively in these
important discussions.

14 Fatal 1991 Australia Farm windmill A 16 year old boy died of asphyxiation in a windmill
accident on his family's farm. Apparently he climbed the
windmill to
retrieve a broken coupling, and in doing so he was
caught by the rotating shaft, and strangled by his own
clothing. His mother found him with his arms above his
head and his clothing twisted up around his neck. His
skivvy was twisted very tightly around the windmill shaft.
His mother desperately tried to untangle him, or to lift
him, but she was unable to do so. Despite her frantic
efforts, she was aware that her son was already dead
when she found him. The 1991 date is uncertain but
hinted at by a pro-wind group.

attempting to repair its tail section. The top of the
windmill was
approximately seven metres from the ground and the tail
section of the
windmill was broken and hanging down. The fan portion
was not turning
and several blades on the fan were missing. There was
a steel ladder,
constructed on one side of the windmill, which extended
from the ground
to the platform (five metres above the ground).
