The Australian maritime industry, is preparing for a transition to cleaner, low-sulphur shipping fuel by January 2020, in line with international regulations.

 

Viva Energy has started producing low sulphur fuel while ANL is modifying some of its vessels using exhaust gas cleaning systems.

 

The global shipping industry contributes 8 per cent of the world's carbon emissions, which is around the same size as Germany's emissions footprint.
