It mandates that marine fuel used in vessels operating within applicable waters must not exceed a maximum sulfur content of 0.1 percent by weight within emission control areas and 0.5 percent by weight outside these areas. Exemptions are provided for vessels operated by the United States or a foreign government, and for vessels making a single stop due to force majeure, distress, or to render assistance.
