Public Domain by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
| At the 70th session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the IMO (International Martime Organization), it has been decided that ships (including container ships) must be more environmentally friendly by 2020. By then they have to comply with low sulphur fuel oil requirements (at most 0.5% sulphur then compared to 3.5% now). |
