The 2015 U.S. Emission Control Areas (ECA) Fuel Requirements The North American Emission Control Area (ECA), adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), requires large ships to reduce emissions when operating within a zone extending 200 miles from the coasts of the U.S. and Canada. The initial sulfur limits on ocean-going vessel fuels in the ECA were implemented in 2012, with the next phase going into force on January 1, 2015, that will require a further 90 percent reduction in the sulfur content of marine fuels from the 2012 requirements. In addition to the requirements of the international treaty, the conference will explore questions of availability and cost of complying with these new requirements.
