Bunkerworld Poll

Industry Opinion
Should the IMO consider a phased approach between the current 3.50% and 0.50% global sulphur limit?
2011 saw a sharp increase in the number of claims of 'cappuccino' bunkers - but what really constitutes entrained air in bunkers?
Recent research shows that only 10% of owners are willing to fit scrubbers to their fleets.
The shipping industry requires a realistic lead in time to respond positively to decisions flowing from COP 17.
Will it motivate shipping companies to consider trying new ways of making their ships more efficient?
Without taking ship emissions into consideration, the UK's climate change act would be disingenuous. But is the method used in CCC's recent study of emissions flawed?
Putting a price on emissions means correct carbon data will be critical.
NOL deserves credit for taking this step, and for showing that the low-sulphur fuel model works for them.
