RCL will introduce a Low Sulphur Go Green Recovery to cover the additional costs associated with using a more expensive but cleaner fuel for compliance.
This change comes as the International Maritime Organization will enforce a new sulfur cap for marine fuel oil starting on January 1, 2020, reducing sulfur oxide emissions from the current limit of 3.5% to 0.5% for ships.
With the goal of using a more environmentally friendly and cleaner fuel to improve both the environment and human health, RCL will begin transitioning to the new 0.5% sulfur fuel to ensure full compliance with the IMO’s regulations starting January 1, 2020.
