ECA/SECA stands for Emission Control Area/Sulphur Emission Control Area.

As of 1st January 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) enforced the Sulphur Emission Regulations, which require that all ships shall reduce their Sulphur emissions from 3,5 % to 0,5% in all of the world's seas.

Implementing the global 0.50% Sulphur limit has not changed the requirements applicable to the four ECAs designated under Regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI. So in the North American US Caribbean, the North Sea, and the Baltic 0,10% Sulphur limit continues to apply. In addition, several countries have implemented even stronger limits in their ECA/SECA zones. To find the applicable regulation click on the highlighted sone to get the specific requirements.
