There is a fervent on-going debate between shipowners and relevant stakeholders about the upcoming low sulphur standards coming in effect January 1st, 2015 in ECAs.  Many shipowners feel the new sulphur standards will cause a financial loss on their businesses as they will have to invest in new technologies or turn to more expensive fuels with lower sulphur.  They also feel that although they are presented with several alternate solutions (LNG as fuel, scrubbers, biofuels…), this is only a façade and their only true option today is MGO.
