I appreciate you and your expert analysis!

Did the Dali have a scrubber? As far back at 2012 we did fuel changeovers on the C-11's when returning to the USWC. Before entering the US EEZ we had to complete the shift from HFO to Low Sulphur HFO. Then before entering the CARB (California Air Resource Board), 24 nm we had to complete the switchover to MDO/MGO. It simplified once the NECA (North America Environmental Compliance Area) kicked in on 1 Jan 2015. Then it was just a straight switch to MDO/MGO from HFO prior to entering the NECA/EEZ.
