As regards the timing of the review required under
MARPOL annex VI, regulation 14.8, on control of
emissions of SOx from ships, the Committee agreed
to establish a correspondence group to develop the
methodology to determine the availability of compliant
fuel oil to meet the requirements set out in the
regulation. The group will provide a progress report
to the sixty-seventh session of the MEPC, so that the
terms of reference of the study can be adopted at the
sixty-eighth session of the MEPC in 2015.54
