Discharge monitoring units
In the maritime world, compliance isn't just about adhering to laws—it's about upholding the ethical spirit behind them. While regulations set the standard, responsible action ensures the safety and reputation of both the crew and the company. Recent incidents have underscored the severe consequences of non-compliance, from hefty fines to legal repercussions, even for actions outside US waters.
To ensure safer and cleaner shipping in the EU, the Council presidency and European Parliament’s negotiators reached a provisional agreement on a revised directive on ship-source pollution, as part of the ‘maritime safety’ legislative package.
The revised directive incorporates international standards into EU law, ensuring that those responsible for illegal discharges of polluting substances are subject to dissuasive, effective, and proportionate penalties to improve maritime safety and better protect the marine environment from pollution by ships.
