The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released interim guidance on the non-availability of compliant fuel oil for the North American Emission Control Area (ECA).
The ECA comes into effect on Aug. 1, 2012, and at that time many vessels will be required to use low-sulfur fuel. The EPA's interim guidance describes in detail the fuel oil requirements and what vessel operators must do if they are unable to obtain the appropriate fuel.
The interim guidance is available online.
