Non-scrubber fitted ships arriving in Singapore with non-IMO 2020 compliant fuel will have to undergo the costly exercise of replacing that fuel with compliant fuel before being allowed to leave port, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said today.
Captain M Segar, the MPA’s assistant chief executive, told delegates at the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum being held in Singapore that ship operators limit their purchases of non-compliant fuel before the sulphur ban kicks in on 1 January 2020.
