Hong Kong: Maersk Seeks Ban on Dirty Fuel (08/01/2013)

Shipping giant Maersk Line has said it will stop using cleaner fuel at Hong Kong’s port unless the local Government mandates the use of high-quality product. Tim Smith, the North Asia head of Maersk, said that shipping lines that burn polluting fuel benefit from cheaper costs compared with Maersk, which has voluntarily used low-sulfur oil for the past two years.
17 other operators in the port use cleaner fuel to help curb Hong Kong’s pollution, but Smith told reporters that Government incentives for embracing the practice do not cover additional costs. Hong Kong permits ships calling on its ports to use fuel that contains up to 3.5% sulphur, while Maersk says that its ships visiting Hong Kong are fuelled by a mix with 0.5% sulphur or less, costing the company $2m. In September, the Hong Kong government introduced a three- year incentive to promote the use of cleaner fuel, offering a 50% reduction in port fees for carriers with fuel containing less than 0.5% sulphur.

The Hong Kong government, along with mainland authorities, is exploring options that will make it mandatory for ocean-going ships to switch to cleaner fuel, said a spokesman for the city’s environmental protection department in a media statement. Smog in Hong Kong kills causes an estimated 3,000 deaths a year
