Hong Kong also puts ships on low-sulphur diet

Hong Kong, which already had lower port tariffs to encourage the use of low-sulphur fuels, is following the example of other regions with the mandatory restriction. The measure taken by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) does go a lot lower than what applies in Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA) in northern Europe and North America. There, a 0.1% limitation is in force, which must also be respected while sailing outside ports.
