ESPO Publishes Its Position Paper On The Port Reception Facilities For Ship Waste
“Introducing a fee system whereby ships could deliver unreasonable amounts of garbage, including dangerous waste for 100% fixed fee, would be a severe and unacceptable divergence from the ‘polluter pays’ principle. It risks to discourage tackling waste at the source by reducing waste volumes onboard, which has been the cornerstone of the EU waste policy” says ESPO’s Secretary General, Isabelle Ryckbost.
ESPO proposes to set a limit on ship waste covered by the 100% fixed fee.
