CHINA: SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THE CARRIAGE OF NON-COMPLIANT FUEL OIL ON BOARD

Published: 20 March 2020

Correspondents in China have now issued a Circular detailing the reporting and fuel management requirements for ships trading to China, which have been unable to comply with the MARPOL regulations and are still carrying or using non-compliant fuel oil on board.
