Sulphur • Serious challenge for the short sea shipping sector • Partnership for Cleaner Shipping together with the Environmental Protection Agency • Strategic partnership to develop a toolbox of different solutions in order to comply with the 2015 regulation • LNG, scrubber • Financial support via EU funding • Identification of specific routes in danger of being closed • Possible equivalence via 0-sum solutions
