are verifiable and enforceable to limit SOx emissions to a level
equivalent to that described in (2) shall be applied.
Section 22281 Ships using separate fuel oils to comply with Section
18(1) of this Chapter shall allow sufficient time for a fuel with a high
sulphur content to be exhausted in the machinery fuel system before the
ship enters a SOx emission control area.
The quantity of bunker oil having a sulphur content of 1.5% or less
