The Republic of Korea (South Korea) is the latest country to announce the designation of national sulfur emission control areas, which will enter into force on 1 September 2020.

The national South Korean sulfur restrictions will apply to the following six ports, and a national sulphur emission control area has been defined for each port:

  • Busan port.
  • Incheon port.
  • Ulsan port.
  • Yeosu port.
  • Gwangyang port (including Hadong port).
  • Pyeongtaek-Dangjin port.

Initially, from 1 September 2020, ships will have to switch to fuel oil not exceeding a sulfur content of 0.10% from 1 hour after completion of anchoring or mooring to 1 hour before completion of heaving up the anchor or de-berthing.

From 1 January 2022, the requirement within the national sulphur emission control areas will be tightened and ships will have to switch to fuel oil not exceeding a sulfur content of 0.10% from entering national sulphur emission control areas until having left.
