Use of Dirty Bunker Fuel by Large Ships to Be Banned Within 200 Miles of the U.S. and Canadian Coasts
- "The International Maritime Organization (IMO) today [3/26/2010] officially accepted the proposal to designate waters off the North American coasts as an Emission Control Area (ECA) -- a move that will result in cleaner air for millions of Americans. Large ships that operate in ECAs must use dramatically cleaner fuel and technology, leading to major air quality and public health benefits that extend hundreds of miles inland." - excerpt from this U.S. Environmental Protection Agency press release.
