Sustainable Maritime Fleet Management in the Context of Global Sulphur Cap 2020

Abstract

Since the implementation of Emission Control Areas (ECA) in 2015, investment decisions related to abatement technologies represent a crucial task in the maritime industry. Currently, the focus in the maritime sector is on Sulphur reductions due to SECA regulations and the legislative of Global Sulphur Cap that started in 2020. A special challenge appears in maritime fleet management where sets of ships have to be considered, representing portfolios of assets that have to be equipped with a variety of different options of abatement technologies.
