17SEP2018 - NEWS - Chemical tanker company Odfjell will not install scrubbers to comply with IMO's Global Sulphur Cap

Chemical tanker firm Odfjell recently said it will not invest in scrubbers to clean fuel on its vessels to comply with new stricter emission rules from 2020 but instead buy fuel which meets the new standards. To combat air pollution, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations’ shipping agency, has set global regulations to cap the sulphur content in marine fuel, known as bunkers, at 0.5 percent, down from 3.5 percent now.
