This map provides a brief outline of the fuel sulphur content regulations promulgated by California, China and the EU.
Emissions from ocean-going vessels are significant sources of air pollution and have an adverse impact on public health and air quality. As part of measures implemented to prevent air pollution, MARPOL Annex VI specifies requirements related to sulphur content of fuel oil used on board ships, in general and for the dedicated Emission Control Areas (ECA) in particular.
If Emissions Regulations are of particular concern to you, we recommend purchasing MARPOL 73/78 Map in conjunction with this map.
