Much like the European ECA, vessels must use fuels with sulphur content of 0.10 % m/m or less.
From 1st September 2020 to 31st December 2021 vessels will be required to switch over to compliant fuels within 1 hour after completion of anchoring or mooring in designated ports to 1 hour before completion of heave up anchor or de-berthing.
From 1st January 2022 ships will be required to use compliant fuels from entry into the SECA until
