摘要

The marine industry is waking up to the reality of what will happen on January 1, 2015, when permissible emissions of SO_2 in the Emission Control Areas (ECAs) are reduced to 0.1%. For ship owners and operators, the decision regarding which strategy to apply to cope with the regulation is yet another threat to their competitiveness.
