Arctic 360 Podcast: Breaking the Ice – heavy fuel oil
For our first week of Arctic 360‘s ‘Breaking the Ice’ podcast we have a special second bonus episode!
Heavy fuel oil is thick and has a tar-like consistency. That makes spills involving it a major environmental concern. HFO is commonly used to fuel shipping vessels, including in Arctic waters. However, the International Maritime Organization has recently approved a ban on HFO in the Arctic to take effect after July 1, 2024.
To make sense of this ban and what heavy fuel oil is, our co-hosts Paris Molokwu and Rebecca Rogers sat down with a panel of guests:
Andrew Dumbrille, Lead Specialist in Marine Shipping and Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund; Dr. Sian Prior, Lead Adviser to the Clean Arctic Alliance; and Michael Kingston, maritime lawyer and the Managing Director of Michael Kingston Associates.
