Diesel Engine Workshop Planned
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) issued a notice stating that it will hold a workshop in Sacramento on May 13 concerning ocean-going vessels main engine and auxiliary engine/boilers. This is part of the agency’s efforts to reduce harmful air emissions from these ships by limiting the sulfur content of the fuels that they use. The notice makes no mention of the recent decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit striking down the regulations on which this effort is based. (HK Law)
