question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to allocate additional funding to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to enabling the Agency to enforce the International Maritime Organisation’s 0.5 per cent cap on the sulphur content of shipping exhaust emissions from 1 January 2020.
tabling member constituency	Kingston upon Hull East

uin	227083
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) remains committed to enforce the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) regulations to limit the sulphur content of fuel to 0.5%. To address these commitments, the MCA has already made amendments to its Port State Control regime and will enforce the fuel sulphur limits after 1st January 2020 using the powers in its Merchant Shipping regulations.</p><p> </p><p>These developments have been undertaken as business as usual for the Agency. Should additional guidance be produced by the IMO in early 2020 the MCA will review the funding available and adjust if necessary.</p><p> </p><p>Although the MCA has an interest in the mandatory equipment fitted to individual vessels on the UK Ship Register, the MCA has not identified a need to generate statistical information for the UK Ship Register as a whole, such as the number of vessels which are fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems.</p><p> </p><p>The sulphur content of a vessel’s fuel is within the scope of the Port State Control inspection regime and therefore vessels on the UK Ship Register are subject to inspection and fuel sampling at such inspections. Again, the MCA has not identified a need to generate statistical information on the merchant vessels which have been subject to these inspections.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani grouped question UIN 227087 question first answered 07/03/2019 12:59:41 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
