According to the new MARPOL Annex VI ultra-low-sulphur fuel oil regulations come into force as of 1 January 2020 ; all vessels that operate outside Emission Control Areas (ECAs) will be required to use fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% while vessels operating within ECAs will be required to use fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.10%.
This change makes it even more important than before to know what is bunkered and to keep the crew informed on specific challenges and the appropriate actions. Careful monitoring of the cylinder condition must also be carried out and followed by the proper action.
