China further strengthens the requirements covering emissions of air pollutants from ships operating within its three domestic emission control areas (ECAs). From 1 October 2016, ships calling at Shenzhen Port in the Pearl River Delta ECA must use fuel with a sulphur content not exceeding 0.50 per cent whilst berthed.
In September 2015, China’s Ministry of Transport released its Ship and Port Pollution Prevention Special Action Plan (2015-2020), a five-year programme that aims to reduce sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 65 per cent in some of China’s major ports. The subsequent publication of a Chinese regulation designating the Pearl River and Yangtze River Deltas, and Bohai-rim Waters as domestic “emission control areas” (ECAs) places a cap on the sulphur content of fuel oil in the ECAs at 0.50 per cent and is considered an important step to achieve these pollution prevention goals.

中国船舶排放控制区 – 船用燃油硫含量要求
中国进一步加强三个国内船舶大气污染物排放控制区的要求。自2016年10月1日起，船舶在珠三角排放控制区深圳港靠岸停泊，应使用硫含量不超过0.5%的燃油。
2015年9月，中国交通部印发了《船舶与港口污染防治专项行动实施方案（2015-2020年）》的5年计划，旨在使中国某些主要港口硫氧化物、氮氧化物的排放下降65%。之后发布的相关规定中设立珠三角、长三角、环渤海水域国内“船舶排放控制区”，规定在排放控制区内燃油硫含量不超过0.5%，该规定是实现防治污染目标的重要举措。
