Rules & Regulations

For a long time, ours was a world of indifference regarding maritime waste disposal. “Whatever floats your boat” was quite literally the attitude most people had towards waste disposal at sea up until the last few decades. But as we came to the realisation that there was a limit to how much waste our oceans could handle, attitudes changed and the need for alternative solutions arose. Providing the worlds best solutions to this problem is the mission that floats our boat.

The Change

The global maritime industry has never faced more environmental challenges than today. The same industry is under constant pressure in order to comply with the increasingly strict set of rules and regulations with regards to the environment.
Owners, operators, charterers and other players in the maritime industry have, in addition, implemented s higher environmental demands with a common goal to become cleaner and greener.
During the latest years lots of things have happened with reference to marine waste management, but the most significant change is undoubtedly the revised IMO Marpol 73/78 Annex V.
