GHG emissions from ships
Study found that shipping, in total, accounted for approximately 3.1% of
annual global CO2 emissions for the period 2007–2012. For international
shipping, the CO2 estimate dropped from 2.8% in 2007 to 2.2% in 2012.

Sulphur content of fuel oil
Regulation 14.1
1 The sulphur content of any fuel oil used on board
ships shall not exceed the following limits:
.1 4.50% m/m prior to 1 January 2012;
.2 3.50% m/m on and after 1 January 2012; and
.3 0.50% m/m on and after 1 January 2020.
Regulation 14.8
8 A review of the standard set forth in paragraph 1.3
of this regulation shall be completed by 2018 to
determine the availability of fuel oil to comply with the
fuel oil standard set forth in that paragraph …

PPR 4 considered implementation issues
PPR 4, as instructed by MEPC 70, considered concerns expressed regarding
implementation (MEPC 70/5/2 and comments made in plenary) and drafted
justification and scope for new output on what additional measures may be
developed to promote consistent implementation of 0.50% global sulphur limit, for
approval by MEPC 71. Work will start at PPR 5 in February 2018.
Implementation date confirmed
MEPC 70 approved CE Delft assessment and confirmed implementation date of 1 Jan 2020 for global 0.5% m/m sulphur cap.
Final decision of MEPC 70
MEPC 70 adopted resolution MEPC.280(70) on Effective date of implementation of the fuel oil standard in regulation 14.1.3 of MARPOL Annex VI.
Resolution MEPC.280(70) adopted

Agreed new output on consistent implementation of regulation
14.1.3 of MARPOL Annex VI, for approval by MEPC 71
Scope of the work, to be completed at PPR 5 and PPR 6 in
2018 and 2019, expected to include:
- preparatory and transitional issues
- impact on fuel and machinery systems
- verification issues, control mechanisms and necessary actions to ensure
compliance and consistent implementation
- standardized system for reporting non-availability of compliant fuel oil
- assessing sulphur content of delivered fuel oil for verification
- ISO to consider framework of ISO 8217 standard for fuels supplied on a
world-wide basis for consumption on board ships
- consequential regulatory amendments and/or guidelines
