Optical sensing of sulphur emissions by plane

Optical sensing of sulphur emissions by plane in the Port of Gothenburg. This gives an initial rough indication that a vessel is releasing too much sulphur; the results must then be confirmed with a physical/chemical analysis. The vessel in the film is not breaking the rules, because the recording was made before the sulphur regulations were tightened. Video: Niklas Berg and Johan Mellqvist

Ships in the English Channel have the highest rate of sulphur violations in northern Europe

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have shown that between 87 and 98 percent of ships comply with the tougher regulations for sulphur emissions that were introduced in northern Europe in 2015. The lowest levels of compliance were observed in the western part of the English Channel and in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
