Shipping: Exhaust Emissions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure that the shipping industry’s compliance with the International Maritime Organisation’s 0.5 per cent cap on the sulphur content of shipping exhaust emissions from 1 January 2020 does not have a negative effect on seafarer (a) employment and (b) pay.
- Answer
-
We are not aware of any impacts on seafarer employment or pay from the introduction of the 0.1% limit for the ECAs in 2015.
Consequently, we do not expect any significant impact on seafarers from the introduction of the global cap, although we will keep this under review.
