Managing ships effluents in the context of the European Green Deal

On 10 December 2020 from 10.00 to 12.30 CET SEARICA organizes a webinar dedicated to “Managing ships effluents in the context of the Green Deal” with the support of the Blue Ports Project. The discussion will be hosted by SEARICA's Vice-Chair Pierre Karleskind.

Due to the current circumstances, the event will be organised online. You are more than welcome to participate and share the information with your networks.

The project “Blue Ports” started in September 2017 when the Port Reception Facility Directive was being revised and the IMO Ballast water management convention just entered into force. The partners worked for 3 years to set out ways to improve the management of ships effluents.

This event will be a great opportunity to learn more about the achievements of the project and exchange views on potential next steps to be taken at the Atlantic and European level. There will be three sessions dedicated to the three main issues tackled by Blue Ports:

• Facilitating the implementation of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention
• Monitoring and protecting marine water in ports
• Fostering the development of cutting-edge port services for ships effluents
