Lloyd’s Register’s Marine Fuel Sulphur Record Book has received the approval of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). Now in its second edition, the Marine Fuel Sulphur Record Book enables ship operators to demonstrate compliance with the fuel oil quality requirements and sulphur restrictions of MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI Regulations 14 and 18, EC directive 2005/33/EC (which amends sulphur content in liquid fuels directive 1999/32/EC) and other regionally or nationally imposed limits. The MCA has also recommended use of the book in its Marine Information Note 258.
