New emission requirements for ships
New requirements for ships can lead to a ban on calls The European Commission is proposing new legislation implementing the IMO proposal for a monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system for greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport.
Among other things, the proposal requires Denmark to establish national sanction provisions for vessels that do not comply with the new greenhouse gas requirements. Among other things, deny ships access to Danish ports.
Danish commercial ports are open ports with an obligation to receive ships. Ports do not have the responsibility and/or possibility to see if ships in port comply with the proposed monitoring and reporting requirements regarding the greenhouse gas emissions of the calling ship. It is the authorities' task to stop ships in Danish waters if they do not comply with current legislation.
