One of the most significant developments from #PPR13 was a presentation from France. French officials demonstrated that enforcing scrubber discharge bans is neither technically prohibitive nor administratively burdensome.

The IMO’s PPR 13 meeting sends a clear signal: Scrubbers are on the chopping block while environmental performance is shifting from installed hardware to operational accountability. Click here for more 👉 www.hudsonshipping.com/hudso...

“Scrubbers at present justify the continued use of heavy fuel oil (HFO), the dirtiest of all fuels. The shipping industry should get their act together by rapidly moving away from HFO and from fossil fuels in the longer term.”

“It ends up in a never-ending cycle of increased warming,” said @sianprior.bsky.social , lead adviser for the @cleanarctic.bsky.social
“We need to regulate emissions and black carbon, in particular. Both are completely unregulated in the Arctic.”

This will be an incredibly important meeting in London. Cleaner shipping will reduce black carbon, which is leading to the destruction of the Arctic accelerating the climate crisis.

Sorry, that was a rhetorical question. Thank you for the work you will be doing this week at #PPR13 to advocate for our oceans and marine life.
It has been discovered that exposure during a period of several days to even very low concentrations of scrubber wash from ships will have detrimental effects on copepod populations. So, why are scrubbers still allowed?

Excellent webinar from @cleanarctic.bsky.social about what is at stake at #PPR13.
The most significant fact is that these critical changes in shipping fuel can be made immediately. They are not difficult, no new technology is required. They only need recognition of the science & the harm. #IMO
Pre-IMO PPR13 Briefing on Shipping's Black Carbon, Scrubbers, Sewage & the Arctic via @cleanarctic.bsky.social
Desired outcomes of importance to ship operations in the Arctic, including reducing the impact of black carbon emissions, & addressing discharges from scrubbers.
