作为《防污公约》附则VI的一项要求，全球限硫令将于2020年1月1日生效。现在，距离这一期限只剩下不到8个月。在这篇短文中，我们提出了过渡管理方面的建议。建议采取的策略是使用传统的合规燃料，即从高硫燃油转为使用低硫燃油或馏分。
限硫令意味着全球范围内航行的商船上使用的燃料油的硫含量不得超过0.50%（质量百分比浓度）。相较于目前适用于指定排放控制区（ECA）以外水域的全球性标准（即3.50%，质量百分比浓度），限硫令下调了允许的硫含量上限。但对于排放控制区以内的水域以及靠泊欧盟港口的船舶而言，0.10%的硫含量上限将继续适用。

The Final Countdown…the 2020 Sulphur Cap
The global sulphur cap, a MARPOL Annex VI requirement, enters into force on 1 January 2020, less than eight months away. In this short article we provide recommendations for managing the transition where the strategy is to use conventional compliant fuel, that is to transition from HSFO to a low sulphur fuel oil or distillate.
The cap means that the sulphur content of fuel oil used on board commercial ships trading globally must not exceed 0.50% m/m. This is a reduction from the current global limit of 3.50% m/m that applies outside of designated emission control areas (ECAs). However, the 0.10% sulphur limit shall continue to apply inside ECAs and for ships at berth in EU ports.
