'Major shipping nations'

摘要

The Hong Kong government has held a three-day workshop to boost awareness of new incentives to encourage ships using Hong Kong's port to switch to cleaner fuels. Under the incentive scheme, ocean-going vessels (OGVs) will enjoy a 50% reduction in port facility fees and light dues by switching from bunker oil to fuel with sulphur content of not more than 0.5% for their auxiliary engines, boilers and generators while at berth in Hong Kong waters. "This incentive scheme will help reduce vessel emissions and improve the air quality around the port area.
