Also the ECSA is worried that the proposal EU on the refusals of the ships can disincentivare to reduce of the amount to the source
The European shipowners agree with the worries expressed from the association of the ports
January 23, 2018
So as the association of the European ports, also the association of the European shipowners has expressed favor for the strategy adopted in recent days from the EU commission in order protect the atmosphere from the pollution from plastic, that it includes a review of the directive on the harbour systems for the refusals produced from the ships and the residual ones of the cargo, but has agreed also with the worries manifested from the European Sea Ports Organisation about the eventuality that the norm on the bestowal of the refusals of the ships in the ports proposed from quantitative Brussels can allow the drainage of limitless of refusals in the harbour ports of call(on 22 January 2018).
"the ECSA - the general secretary of the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA has confirmed), Martin Dorsman - totally supports the objective of the directive on the harbour systems in order to prevent the illegal drainage in sea of refusals generated from the residual ships and of cargo, being encouraged the ships to exhaust all the refusals in systems to earth".
"We agree - it has continued Dorsman - on the fact that is vital an ulterior harmonization of the current procedures, in order to guarantee that in the ports available structures of reception of the current and future refusals are adapted. Moreover - it has found - it is very I accept a reasonable, coherent and functional system tariff that represents an incentive for the shipowners to confer the refusals to earth. However - it has specified the general secretary of the ECSA - we have some worries. The procedures in the ports would have to be most efficient possible in order to maintain the costs to acceptable levels. Moreover we find, which possible problematicità, that the system of indirect rates that has been time proposed for the bestowal of the refusals affords the bestowal of limitless amounts of refusals. This could not represent an incentive in order to reduce the refusals to the source, that is on the ships or near the suppliers of edge, since the rate is the same one independently from the amount of refusals that are delivered. This - he has concluded Dorsman - could also create difficulty in the definition of the standing charge for the bestowal of the refusals, since the operators of the harbour systems for the refusals will not know how much ability is necessary, while they must be sure that their operating costs of the refusals always are covered".
