With new IMO regulations on ship emissions, basically two options are available for ship bunkering. Either use scrubbers in the ships’ exhaust systems to reduce emissions, or, use low sulphur fuel. The latte option requires availability of low sulphur bunkering options in ports. Providing this service to ships helps to reduce emissions at sea, but in the port area itself as well.
