Recital 7
(7) Passenger ships operate mostly in ports or close to coastal areas and their impacts on human health and the environment are significant. Those ships are required to use marine fuel with the same maximum sulphur content as is applicable in SECAs (1.5%). Given that stricter sulphur standards will apply in SECAs, it is justified by the need to improve air quality around ports and coasts in the non-SECA territories that the same standards apply to passenger ships. However, the introduction of a new SECA standard for passenger ships would be delayed by 53 years in order to avoid potential problems with fuel availability.
