The Port of Fujairah has become the latest of several harbours worldwide to prohibit the use of open-loop exhaust gas scrubbers as a way to meet pending IMO 2020 regulations.
"Please be advised that Port of Fujairah has decided to ban the use of open-loop scrubbers in its waters," said harbour master Captain Tamer Masoud.
"Ships will have to use compliant fuel once the IMO 2020 sulphur cap comes into force."
