This comes after the new Ship Waste Discharge Regulation (SchiffAbgV) was introduced by the Hamburg Senate earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Any ship can now dispose of 6m\u00b3 of ship waste, instead of the previous 1m\u00b3, regardless of vessel size. The cost of a standard disposal of waste from the shipping industry, including the ship sanitation remain the same, and is dependent on the vessel size \u2013 between \u20ac10 and \u20ac105.<\/p>\n
\u201cUp to 600,000 cubic meters of garbage are thought to be on the floor of the North Sea alone,\u201d said Jens Kerstan, Environment Senator. \u201cShip waste on the seabed is a major problem for fish, plants and the marine ecosystem. Plastic takes hundreds of years until it breaks down and degrades Microplastics enters the food chain and kill seabirds.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the first time, a quantitative limit for sanitation has been introduced of 200m\u00b3. In addition, the allowances for oil residues have been increased.<\/p>\n
The disposal of residues from gas cleaning systems (scrubber sludge) will be subsidised with up to \u20ac450 in future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
