SECASulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) are sea areas where there are stricter requirements for used bunker fuel compared to other sea areas.

SECA is defined in MARPOL Annex VI.

The area includes North Sea, Baltic Sea, and within 24 miles of California coast.[1]

Also other areas may be added via protocol defined in Annex VI.

EU SULPHUR DIRECTIVE

• In line with the Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention, the limits for the sulphur content of marine fuels used in designated SO2 Emission Control Areas (SECAs) will be 1% until 31 December 2014 and 0.1% as from 1 January 2015.

• The IMO standard of 0,5 % for sulphur limits outside SECAs will be mandatory in EU waters by 2020. This will also be valid for passenger ships operating outside SECAs to which the current regime of 1,5 % applies until that date.

• A general cap does not allow the use of marine fuels with a sulphur content of more than 3,5 % by mass within member states territory, with the exception of fuels used by vessels with alternative exhaust gas cleaning systems, the so-called scrubbers, operating in closed mode. According to the compromise, member states should endeavour to ensure the availability of the required marine fuels.
