French container shipping company CMA CGM has recently unveiled a plan to use 0.5% fuel oil to run its vessel fleet in compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new low sulphur regulation. The regulation, which is scheduled to become effective from 1 January 2020, will require all the shipping companies to lower their sulphur emissions by 85%. The company plans to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) to power some of its future container ships to help reduce 99% sulphur emissions. CMA CGM currently has a total of nine ships on order.
