“When vessels reach the port, use better fuel.”
Reducing the air pollution during the berth period ,a strict requirement, became truth.
In 1st April 2016, Yangtze River Delta implemented the strictest emission limitation firstly. Make the first step of “reducing the emission”.
In 1st Feb 2016,China announced to set up a control area of vessel pollutant emission. Pearl River Delta, Yantze River Delta and Bohai Sea region controlled the emission of ships. Yantze River area has been the first control area.
The using of marine fuel in the core area of Yantze River when the vessel berth in the port was controlled strictly. The ruler was called “the most strict limitation of emission”
According to the representation of Mr.Feng Yan, deputy director of dangerous service office of security Jiangsu Marine fair bureau, the core requirement of the limitation is the level of fuel has risen during the vessels in the port.
From 1st April,All the vessels berthing in the core areas of port in the Yantze river weren't allowed to use the fuel that sulfur content is more than 0.5%. It was a higher requirement for the marine enterprises. The berthing cost also would be higher. Maritime administration has the right to detain the ships which cannot comply with the limitation and impose fines from 10,000 to 100,000 RBM.
There are many ports and vessels in the area of Yantze River delta,the emission of pollution has made a serious infects to the atmosphere. For example, according to the statistics of Jiangsu Marine Bureau, the supply of marine fuel in the Jiangsu section of Yantze River has got to 2, 380,000 tons, and the fuel vessels are more than 100,000.ships.
According to Preliminary calculation, PM2.5 will reduce 10%, oxysulfide will reduce 20% after implement of the limitation. According to target of Transportation Department, compare with the 2015, oxysulfide, nitrogen oxide,and PMs will reduce 65%,20%,and 30% in the areas of Pearl River delta, Yantze River delta and Bohai sea section.
