Marine Fuel Regulations: Is gasoil the only viable near term solution?
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The next big push from the MARPOL Annex VI protocol begins in January 2015, when the sulphur limit falls to 0.1% in the Emission Control Areas in Northern Europe and North America. Marine gasoil is still expected to be the main beneficiary, while LNG and sulphur scrubbers remain marginal. While a number of blended 0.1% ECA compliant fuels are also being introduced, the lack of an agreed industry standard limits the market appeal of these blended alternatives to pure distillate fuels.
