预计2020年1月1日以后，港口国监督机构为核实燃油硫含量，对船舶燃油进行现场取样的频率将显著提高。我们下面的案例研究表明，适当的船上程序以及准备充分且细心周到的船员，对于避免无端处罚是何等重要。
“让船员做好准备，应对PSC船舶燃油现场取样”。当船东正在为遵守2020年全球限硫令而做船队和船员准备的时候，这一建议看起来可能并不重要。在船上对船舶燃油现场取样并不是什么新鲜事。自从0.10%的硫含量限制在欧盟港口和指定排放控制区生效后，对船舶燃油进行现场取样和分析，就成为港口国监督机构（PSC）核实所用燃油实际硫含量的常见手段。

Prepare crews for PSC spot sampling of ships’ fuel
The frequency of port state control taking spot samples of a ship’s fuel oil to verify its sulphur content is expected to increase significantly after 1 January 2020. Our case studies below show how proper onboard procedures and a well prepared and attentive crew can be crucial in avoiding unwarranted penalties.
“Prepare crews for PSC spot sampling of ships’ fuel”. This may seem like pretty minor advice at a time when shipowners are in the midst of preparing their fleets and crews for compliance with the 2020 global sulphur cap. Onboard spot sampling of ships’ fuel is nothing new. Since the 0.10% sulphur cap entered into force in EU ports and the designated ECAs, spot sampling and analysis of ships’ fuel have been common as a means for port state control (PSC) to verify the actual sulphur content of the fuel in use.
