More about scrubbers and sulphur
The Clean Shipping Alliance 2020 (CSA 2020), a group comprised of around 30 companies in the commercial shipping and cruise industries formed in late 2018, has contracted Maritime AMC (Mamcl) to provide secretariat services for the CSA. The latter wants to expand its knowledge of exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), also known as scrubbers that are used to reduce sulphur from ships’ exhaust emissions.
Ian Adams will serve as Mamcl's executive director. The former chief executive of the International Bunker Industry Association said: “We will ensure that all industry stakeholders – flag states, non-governmental organisations, administrations and regulators – have a more balanced view of the solutions available for complying with the introduction of the IMO Global Sulphur Cap in January 2020.”
CSA 2020 will hold its first general assembly in February where its leadership team and officers will be formally elected. Maritime AMC is a UK-based association management company. (kd)
