ECA/SECA

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

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

The implementation of the global 0.50% Sulphur limit has not changed the requirements applicable in the four ECAs designated under Regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI. So in the North American, US Caribbean, North Sea and Baltic 0,10% Sulphur limit continue to apply.

In addition, several countries have implemented even stronger limits in their ECA/SECA sones. In order to find the applicable regulation just click on the highlighted sone in the map to get the specific requirements.
