“’Due to the IMO’s failure to regulate harmful discharges from ships equipped with scrubbers, there is an increase in local, national, & regional authorities introducing bans on scrubber water discharges”, said Dr. Kåre Press-Kristensen from Green Global Future, a member of the Clean Arctic Alliance

“Scrubbers at present justify the continued use of heavy fuel oil (HFO), the dirtiest of all fuels. The shipping industry should get their act together by rapidly moving away from HFO and from fossil fuels in the longer term.”

Thanks to Clean Arctic Alliance for this great infographic, showing how ships with scrubbers pollute and acidify the oceans, harming the entire marine food web.

“It ends up in a never-ending cycle of increased warming,” said @sianprior.bsky.social , lead adviser for the @cleanarctic.bsky.social
“We need to regulate emissions and black carbon, in particular. Both are completely unregulated in the Arctic.”

This will be an incredibly important meeting in London. Cleaner shipping will reduce black carbon, which is leading to the destruction of the Arctic accelerating the climate crisis.

Desired outcomes of importance to ship operations in the Arctic, including reducing the impact of black carbon emissions, & addressing discharges from scrubbers.
#PPR13 #Arctic #IMO

Excellent webinar from @cleanarctic.bsky.social about what is at stake at #PPR13.

The most significant fact is that these critical changes in shipping fuel can be made immediately. They are not difficult, no new technology is required. They only need recognition of the science & the harm. #IMO
