IMO sets global sulphur cap for 2020 

 IMO 為2020年設(shè)置硫上限 

 27 Oct 2016 Clarity for ship owners, oil companesand technology providers as 2020 global sulphur cap confirmed 

 The global 0.5% sulphur cap formarine fuel will enter force on 1 January 2020, the International MaritimeOrganisation’s Marine Environment Protection Committee has agreed. 

         The decision on the cap, requiredunder regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI, is in line with an official assessmenton fuel availability – conducted by a CE Delft-led consortium – and providesmuch needed clarity to ship owners. The industry now has just over three yearsto decide on their compliance measures – either low-sulphur fuel, theinstallation of exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) or the use ofalternative fuels (including LNG). 

         The MEPC also agreed to ask itsPollution Prevention and Response (PPR) subcommittee to consider implementationof the global cap - including enforcement and operational concerns. 

 As reported, the study by CE Delft concludedthat global shortages of compliant fuel in 2020 are ‘improbable’. Refinerieshave adequate capacity in even the highest demand scenarios. A supplementarystudy, commissioned by BIMCO and other parties, also concluded thatavailability would likely be positive, but indicated there could be severemarket impacts and logistical challenges with implementing a cap overnight. 

        The official study also pointed tosome regional shortages, but noted that these could be compensated for byoversupply from the Middle East, as well as excess production from otherregions. In the base case, CE Delft sees demand for 233 million tonnes ofmarine fuel with sulphur of between 0.1% to 0.5% in 2020. This would primarilybe blends of residuals, hydrotreated residuals,heavy fractions from hydrocrackers and lighter hydrotreated fractions - with avery wide range of viscosities. 

        Consumption of LNG, both in LNGcarriers that use the boil-off cargo for propulsion and in ships with LNGengines, is projected to increase from 8 million tonnes in 2012 to 11 to 13million tonnes in 2020. Scrubbers are projected to be installed on 3,800 ships,collectively consuming 14-38 million tonnes of heavy fuel oil. 

對船東、燃油公司和技術(shù)提供商明確確認2020全球限硫令強制實施
 

全球船用燃料0.5%的硫排放上限將于2020年1月1日強制生效,國際海事組織下屬海洋環(huán)境保護委員會已同意該項決策。 

       根據(jù)MARPOL公約Annex VI的第14條要求, 對于硫排放上限的決定，經(jīng)過官方正式的燃料可用性評估（由CE Delft-led 財團/聯(lián)盟審核），為船東提供了更多更明確的信息。現(xiàn)在，船舶行業(yè)只有三年的時間去評估決定使用哪種方式來確保燃油硫排放達標——使用低硫燃料, 安裝廢氣清洗系統(tǒng) (洗滌器)或使用替代燃料(包括液化天然氣)。 

        MEPC（海洋環(huán)境保護委員會）也同意要求其下屬污染防治和響應(PPR)委員會來考慮如何實現(xiàn)全球限硫令——包括執(zhí)行和操作問題。如報告中所述,CE Delft的研究得出結(jié)論,2020年“不太可能”出現(xiàn)全球符合限硫令的燃料短缺的情況。即便在最高標準要求下煉油廠也有足夠的生產(chǎn)能力。由BIMCO和其他機構(gòu)合作調(diào)研的一項補充研究也表明燃油可用性不存在太大問題,但在限硫令強制實施開始的一段時間內(nèi)會對市場造成一定的沖擊，在運輸保障方面也有一定的挑戰(zhàn)。 

       官方的研究還指出,一些地區(qū)達標油料可能會存在短缺現(xiàn)象,但可以從供大于求中東地區(qū)和其它的生產(chǎn)過剩地區(qū)的來調(diào)度?；诖饲闆r, CE Delft預測2020年船用低硫燃料（0.1%-0.5%）的需求為2.33億噸。這些含硫雜志主要是油渣混合物： 加氫處理后產(chǎn)生的油渣、輕砂和氫化裂解后殘留的重砂，具備非常大的粘度。                

       2012年LNG的消耗量（包括使用蒸發(fā)汽化貨物為推進力LNG運輸船和使用LNG發(fā)動機的船舶）約為800萬噸，預計2020年會增加至1100萬到1300萬噸。在2020年預計會有3800艘船舶會安裝洗滌器，所有船舶預計總共消耗1400萬到3800萬噸的重質(zhì)燃油。
