In October 2008, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization adopted revisions to the international regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships (MARPOL Annex VI). The revised regulations included a requirement that, from 1 January 2020, the sulphur content of fuel oil used by ships operating outside designated emission control areas shall not exceed the 0.50% by mass, known as "IMO 2020". Reducing emissions of sulphur oxides will bring significant global benefits for human health and environment.
A review provision was included in MARPOL Annex VI that required MEPC to assess the availability of compliant fuel oil to meet the 2020 requirement by 2018. In October 2016, following the review, MEPC 70 decided that, from 1 January 2020, the sulphur content of fuel oil used by ships operating outside designated emission control areas shall not exceed 0.50% by mass. Since this decision, and having agreed a new output at MEPC 71 in July 2017 on consistent implementation of the 0.50% sulphur limit, the Organization has been working diligently and determinably to prepare the sector for this change.
This significant effort has led to relevant amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, including the ban on the carriage of non-compliant fuel oil that will enter into force on 1 March 2020. Since IMO 2020 will have a major impact worldwide, the shipping industry, oil industry and the fuel oil suppliers also have been making their preparations.
Furthermore, comprehensive guidelines on consistent implementation and port State control of chapter 3 of MARPOL Annex VI have been adopted by MEPC 74 in May 2019. A package of guidance documents, including for ship implementation planning, provide important information to support the enforcement of this global rule by stakeholders across the sector.
This publication is part of the awareness raising action taken by the Organization and brings together all the instruments and guidance prepared into one document for reference. As such it will help support the international shipping sector to successfully implement IMO 2020.
