It was refreshing to hear Intertanko chairman Paolo d’Amico grudgingly admit at the Connecticut Maritime Association's conference last week that his association had actually lobbied hard for a 0.5% global sulphur cap a decade ago.
He then went on to reel off a list of concerns about the upcoming IMO 2020 regulation.
Back in 2008, the tanker owners’ association was always keen to talk about its influence in the IMO’s decision to go for a global sulphur cap.
