IMO

IMO 2020 refers to a regulation set by the International Maritime Organization, which limits the sulfur content in fuel used by ships. Starting January 1, 2020, the maximum sulfur limit was reduced from 3.5% to 0.5%. This aims to reduce air pollution from shipping, which contributes to health problems and environmental damage. By using cleaner fuels, the shipping industry can decrease harmful emissions, improving air quality and reducing the impact on climate change. Compliance is essential for all ships globally, promoting a healthier planet through sustainable practices in maritime transportation.
