“The sulphur content of ship fuels will be cut to 0.1% from 2015 in the Baltic Sea and the North
Sea, and to 0.5% from 2020 in other EU waters. As a result, emissions of sulphur dioxide
from shipping in Europe will come down by more than 80 per cent.”
Hong Kong has no rules governing the use of bunker fuel which varies between 2.75 – 4+% sulphur ,
no Emissions Control Area legislation (ECA).
The local HKG Environmental Prevarication Department passes the responsibility to China to enact ECA legislation in Hong Kong waters
leaving only volunteer action by the Fairwinds Charter members to burn Low Sulphur Diesel at anchor in HKG port. Yet vehicular ULSD is rightly
limited to parts per million.
31% of HKG’s particulates and 25% of local NOx and Sox come from marine emissions.
Pathetic.
