"Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is a tar-like, thick but relatively cheap oil that is widely used in #shipping around the world, especially tankers.
However, HFO is particularly damaging in the Arctic, where the black carbon it emits when burned speeds up the melting of snow and ice.
Campaigners say the ban, while welcome, will make little immediate impact as a series of loopholes will allow the vast majority of ships to use the fuel until 2029."
