#ShipSulphur - The European Union's Sulphur Directive represents the biggest challenge for the short-sea shipping sector in the coming years.
New rules on sulphur emissions to be introduced in 2015 will reduce ship's competitiveness against the truck transportation and so industry and governments must act quickly.
The Shortsea Promotion Centre of Norway which recently held a mini-conference entitled "Sulphur Directive in 2015 and Norwegian short sea shipping" was attended by delegates from nearly all ship owners operating liner services to Norway.
The main focus of the event was how participants can meet the challenges of the Sulfur Directive and turn it to their advantage. To read more on the impacts of the directive facing the industry visit this link.
