Circular 33/2020: OPEN LOOP SCRUBBERS LIMITATION SUSPENDED

Further to our Circular 29/2020 informing about Disposition 15/2020 enacted by Coast Guard by which the use of open loop scrubbers was limited as it was forbidden to discharge its wash water (or any other scrubber which requires discharge of wash water) in all jurisdictional waters (including internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone and exclusive economic zone).

However, on 24th September 2020, due to the Sanitary Emergency / Covid19 the Coast Guard enacted Disposition 22/2020, by which Disposition 15/2020 has been left with no effect suspending its enforceability.

It seems that the Disposition 15/2020 has not been repealed but its enforceability has been suspended in the context of the Sanitary Emergency (Covid19).

We shall continue monitoring this and will keep you posted. In the meantime, we remain at your disposal if clarification and/or additional information is needed.

Yours Faithfully,
