CSA 2020 frustrated by Malaysian scrubber decision

摘要

The Clean Shipping Alliance 2020 (CSA 2020), the pro-scrubber shipowner lobby group, says it is disappointed by the Malaysian government's decision to ban the use of open-loop exhaust gas cleaning systems in its coastal waters ahead of the 1 January global sulphur cap. A Malaysia Shipping Notice (MSN 07/2019), issued 12 November, advises ships calling at Malaysian Ports that they must either switch to compliant fuel oil or change over to closed-loop/hybrid systems before entering Malaysian coastal waters and ports.
