Sulphur oxides and particulate matter have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. It has been decided to limit the sulphur content of ship fuel to 0.1w% in the SECA area. Here, we estimated the costs for Finland and the achievable health and environmental benefits. Results show that the additional costs were 375–751 million euros per year in Finland. Benefits were estimated to range from 223 to 652 million euros. Even though in wide scale the benefits are more significant than the costs, there may be differences between countries due to geography, business structure, and population density.
