Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Minister for Transport whether Singapore has adopted IMO 2020, a global regulation where the upper limit on sulphur content of ships’ fuel oil is reduced to 0.50%, on ships (i) entering Singapore waters and (ii) registered in Singapore, regardless of their jurisdictional locations.
Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:
1. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has incorporated the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 regulation in its Prevention of Pollution of the Sea(Air) Regulations 2022. The Regulations are applicable to Singapore-registered ships and all other ships while they are in Singapore waters.
