Coming into Effect in 5 days! Marine Pollution Special Area - The Red Sea

Captain Barry Sadler Season 2024 Episode 7

Whilst the Red Sea was designated a special area under the International Convention for Preventing Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and was adopted as such in 1973, the restrictions on the discharge of oil were yet to come into effect. Although signatory states were required to enforce the restrictions, they do not come into effect until 1st January 2025. Captain Barry discusses what this means for international shipping and reiterates some of the restrictions that being a special area under MARPOL Annexes I brings into effect.
