2. 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.

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
and there is not enough low-sulfur fuel oil to
meet demand from the shipping sector
