The global 0.5% fuel sulphur content cap regulation under IMO will be implemented from 2020. The sulphur cap guidance, issued by Taiwan’s ministry of transportation and communications, has advised all ships entering Taiwan’s international commercial port areas to use either fuel with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5% or equivalent methods of emission reduction in accordance with the Marpol Convention.
