新加坡港已加入将禁止在港口水域使用开环式脱硫洗涤器的行列。

废气净化系统(EGCS) – 通常指脱硫洗涤器 – 是遵守IMO2020全球限硫令公认的对应措施。使用脱硫洗涤器已然让航运产业分崩离析。世界各港口都在关注在其水域内使用脱硫洗涤器会造成的影响。

一些港口和地区已发布声明,称他们将不允许排放脱硫设备洗涤废水。

No Scrubs: More Ports Declare Ban on EGCS Discharges

Singapore has joined the list of ports that will ban the use of open loop scrubbers in their waters.

Exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) – more commonly referred to as scrubbers – are an accepted equivalent measure in complying with the IMO 2020 global sulphur cap. The use of scrubbers has split the shipping industry. Ports around the world are looking at the impact of scrubber use in their waters.

A number of ports and regions have already stated that they will not allow the discharge of washwater from scrubbers.

IMSBC规则》修正案将于201911日生效。本文中,Brookes Bell LLPPenelope Cooke解释了即将生效的修正案会对载运煤类货物的船舶产生何等影响。有关《IMSBC规则》修正案的全部详情,请参阅国际海事组织MSC.426(98)号决议。

 

《国际海运固体散货(IMSBC)规则》中,将煤描述为一种由非晶形碳和碳氢化合物组成的天然固体可燃物质。尽管煤以易燃性和自热性闻名,然而某些煤类货物也有易于液化的特点。所有煤类货物都具有B组化学特性,例如可能发生自热或排放甲烷;除此之外,即将生效的《IMSBC规则》修正案中提到了煤类货物被认定为A组(即易于液化)的标准。因此,煤类货物有可能需要取得与其他A组货物(例如精矿、镍矿石和铁矿粉)相同的TML证书和含水量证书。
