据普氏能源资讯网新加坡11月7日消息，业内人士周三表示，亚洲船主已经开始使用含硫0.5%的低硫船舶燃料，这比国际海事组织（IMO）规定的从2020年开始实施低硫船舶燃料新规提前了一年多时间。
东北亚航运公司的一位知情人士周三表示：“我们已经开始购买含硫0.5%的船舶燃料用于在中国和新加坡进行试验。”
东北亚地区另一家航运公司知情人士表示：“我们已经获取了含硫0.5%的低硫船舶燃料作为一个样本，我们正在实验室进行分析。”

Asian ship owners have started taking 0.5% sulfur low sulfur bunker fuel more than a year ahead of when the sulfur cap set by the International Maritime Organization starts in 2020, industry sources said Wednesday.
"We have started buying 0.5% sulfur bunker fuel for testing in China and Singapore," a source at a North Asian shipping company said Wednesday.
"We took 0.5% low sulfur bunker fuel as a sample, and we are analyzing at our laboratory," another shipping source in North Asia said.
