  3. Maritime UK members represent 916 maritime sector operations across the country. And growing!

  4. MARPOL ANNEX VI

  5. MARPOL ANNEX IV - IMO Regulations to reduce sulphur emissions from ships • Key provision of regulation 14: • Establish Emissions Control Areas • To reduce the sulphur content of marine fuel to 0.1% by 2015

  6. North Sea Emissions Control Area (ECA)

  7. Every ship operating within ECA zones affected • At least 220 scheduled UK crossings with other ECA ports • Countless more routes travelling to destinations beyond ECA zones will need to switch to 0.1% for the relevant section of voyage

  8. CONCERNS WITH IMPLEMENTATION

  9. The need to reduce sulphur emissions from ships is indisputable and unequivocal. But reductions must be implemented in such a way that does not harm the maritime and wider economy.

  10. FUEL AVAILABILITY AND COST • Significant concerns that there is not enough low sulphur fuel available to meet demand • The cost of treating marine fuel to remove its content, combined with poor availability, could increase current fuel costs to shipowners by as much as 87%

  11. ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGY • Other methods to reduce sulphur emissions, such as ‘scrubber’ technology, are currently unreliable and unaffordable

  12. OUR FEARS: • Routes could close down at the risk of jobs and future investment • Ship operators may no longer see the UK as competitive • Modal shift of freight and passenger transport onto roads

  13. MARITIME UK CAMPAIGN

  14. Meeting with relevant MPs to raise awareness • Campaigning through the media • Lobbying of Shipping Minister

  15. October round table meeting with Department for Transport for concerned stakeholders. Ship-operators, ports, local businesses are encouraged to express concern via the media or contact directly with the Shipping Minister
