Vsl to have on board sample of fuels supplied and relative delivery receipt showing the percentage of sulphur. Harbour Master reserves his rights to perform inspections on board the vessel to ascertain the quantity of sulphur and in case the percentage will exceed the 0,10%, the Master or owners could be fined from minimum 15.000 euro to maximum 150.000 euro.
