Year: 2020 Language: english Author: BIMCO Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 50 Description: Between February and May 2020 BIMCO, The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO conducted The Fuel Oil Quality and Safety Survey with the aim to get a greater understanding of the quality of the new fuel oils and possible safety implications of the IMO 2020 sulphur regulation. BIMCO noted that the distribution frequency of answers cannot be considered to represent the frequency of problems in the world fleet. However, it does give an indication of where the challenges may have been for the shipping industry on a global basis since 1 January 2020. The intention of the survey was to conduct a wider industry survey, circulated to all members of BIMCO, ICS, INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO, rather than to collect data on a case-specific basis when a ship was faced with fuel quality and/or safety issues related to the fuel quality. Since the survey was addressed to individuals (e.g. Fleet Managers, Vessel Managers and Technical Superintendents) not companies nor specific ships, the questions had to be formulated in a more generic way. Respondents were guided to answer the questions to the best of their knowledge based on their personal experience with the ships, for which they are responsible. Consequently, the distribution frequency of answers cannot be considered to represent the frequency of problems in the world fleet. However, it does give an indication of where the challenges may have been for the shipping industry on a global basis since 1 January 2020.
