Fuel spikes expected from sulphur cap on shipping
Energy Risk Asia: IMO 2020 will save lives, but also impact entire energy complex

Panellists at this week’s Energy Risk Asia conference discussed the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) decision to reduce the global cap on the sulphur content of fuels used by ships from 3.5% to 0.5% from January 1, 2020.
