On 25 and 26 February, experts from all SECA countries will be meeting in Denmark. The purpose is to find solutions to the legal and technical challenges presented by the stricter sulphur regulations.
It is one thing to lay down regulations; it is quite another thing to enforce them.
Therefore, representatives of all 16 SECA countries and the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) will be meeting in Elsinore on 25-26 February for a workshop in an attempt to create a bridge between the two.
The debate will cover everything from exhaust gas cleaning and port State control to issues such as the size of fines and the production of evidence in cases where sulphur emissions exceed the limits.
Great international interest in Danish initiative
The workshop has been arranged by the Danish Maritime Authority and it has generated great interest in the SECA countries, which are sending participants all the way from Canada, the USA and Russia in addition to participants from a number of EU countries.
Deputy Director-General of the Danish Maritime Authority Christian Breinholt says:
“It is a pleasure to see that all the SECA countries take the task enforcing the new regulations seriously. We are all faced with the same practical and legal challenges and therefore it is a strength that we talk with each other and find solutions. Our workshop will bring us closer to the goal.”
On 1 January 2015, a number of stricter requirements for ships’ sulphur emissions across the borders took effect. Solutions must be found to the challenges met when enforcing these requirements.
The workshop takes place at the Konventum Conference Centre in Elsinore.
