Greece, one of the most influential voices in the IMO, has warned that shipping is not yet ready for the global 0.5% sulphur cap, which is set to take effect next month.
"A month before the implementation, availability, compatibility, safety and quality issues of the new fuels have not been resolved yet," Greek Shipping Minister Yiannis Plakiotakis said at last week's Navigator Forum, a shipping conference in Athens.
