The blog of Kate Schrøder Jensen, Regulatory Affairs Specialist
“Here I cut through the confusion and rumours about fuel sulphur limits, exhaust gas cleaning, scrubber technology and more. Emissions legislation is complex, but the main question is simple: how does this affect me?”

As you can read in the introduction to this blog, I’m a regulatory affairs specialist at Alfa Laval. But that’s just a job description.
17-02-2020: A report issued in August by CE Delft, details a new study named “Comparison of CO2 emissions of MARPOL Annex VI compliance options in 2020”, which I will nickname the “WtW study” in reference to its well-to-wake scope. In my new blog I examine the study.
25-03-2020: It’s been about a month since the PPR (Pollution Prevention and Response) meeting in London. What, then, is the verdict from a scrubber manufacturer perspective? Or are you more interested in what impact the agreed outcome will have on shipowners?
12-02-2020: Next week, IMO’s PPR (Pollution Prevention and Response) subcommittee will have their 7th meeting (PPR 7). The plan for this meeting is to revise the 2015 EGC guidelines. This task has been in the pipeline for the last two years, but more pressing matters such as “IMO 2020” (the global sulphur cap) have led to constant postponements.
06-12-2019: In May of this year, new guidance was approved by IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) and circulated as MEPC.1/Circ.883.
06-11-2019: Since 2015, China has slowly expanded what it calls the Chinese Domestic ECAs, where ECA is short for Emission Control Area. These ECAs should not be confused with the ECAs defined by IMO.
There’s a lot to discuss when it comes to emissions and compliance. Have your own question in need of a specialist answer? Ask it here.
