Recital 7
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 shipPassenger ships on regular services are required to use marine fuel with the samea 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 5 years in order to avoid potential problems with fuel availabilityof 1.5%.

(12a) Member States should ensure the availability and balanced distribution of compliant fuel in accordance with Regulation 18 of the revised Annex VI to MARPOL. In the event that compliant fuel might not be available in some ports (for example, those lacking in the physical distribution of compliant fuel), the ship should be permitted to invoke the exemption as provided for under Regulation 18 of the revised Annex VI to MARPOL. The ship should not be required to deviate from its intended voyage or to delay unduly the voyage in order to achieve compliance.
