The International Union of Marine Insurance has expressed concern over the slow rate of progress at the IMO in addressing safety issues related to the new global sulphur regulation.
Helle Hammer, head of the policy forum at the IUMI, said the IMO has agreed to look at the issue through the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). But the target date to finalise the work is more than a year after the regulation enters into force on 1 January 2020.
