"LGGR For June 2023: IMO 2020's Low Sulphur Go Green Recovery"
The implementation of IMO 2020 is set for June 2023. This means a Low Sulphur Go Green Recovery (LGGR) will be in effect. It's a significant step towards a greener future. The LGGR policy will promote cleaner fuel. This will reduce the amount of sulphur emissions from ships. It's a vital move to improve air quality and protect the environment. The new policy will lead to better health for people in coastal areas. It's a welcome development that we should all support. Let's work together for a cleaner and healthier future.
Starting on January 1st, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will introduce a new sulphur cap for marine fuel oil. The cap aims to decrease Sulphur Oxides (SOx) emissions from ships. The current limit is 3.5% and will decrease to 0.5%.
RCL will switch to a new fuel. It is friendly and clean. The new fuel is good for the environment and human health. They will be fully compliant with IMO's ruling. This will happen from 1st January 2020.
RCL will make a "Low Sulphur Go Green Recovery (LGGR)" to cover the extra cost of using cleaner fuel. We need to take care of the environment and our health. It's for the future of our children and the planet they will live on. We hope customers understand this.
