The Swedish Club has sought to cut through the chatter and obtained expert advice from a leading marine engineering consultancy and experts in contract law, which has now been published in the "Sulphur Guide".
On 1 January 2020 vessel owners must have made the decision to install exhaust gas scrubbers or to burn low sulphur or alternative fuels. The cost implications of any decision will be difficult to predict and there is no shortage of opinions in the marketplace.
Sulphur Guide
The Swedish Club’s Sulphur Guide provides both technical and legal advice in dealing with these issues. It explores technical considerations when making the decision between operating with low sulphur fuels and retrofitting scrubbers and explains the legal implications, both in terms of compliance and in relation to the terms of any charterparty in place, following that decision.
The Sulphur Guide has been written in conjunction with Tony Grainger, Marine Engineer, TMC Marine; Paul Harvey, Associate, Ince & Co, and Jamila Khan, Partner, Ince & Co. All are experts in their field, providing information based on real life situations they have encountered in their working lives.
The Sulphur Guide can be downloaded from the Swedish Club website.
