The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a UN organisation, reduced the sulphur content cap in marine fuels from 3.5 percent to 0.5 percent. The new regulation is scheduled to be in effect. However, refineries may be forced to make extra investments and process changes in order to provide marine fuels that fulfil the sulphur content standards. However, LNG has less sulphur and requires less processing to meet sulphur content standards.
