National Workshop on the Ratification and Effective Implementation of MARPOL Annex VI – Nov 26, 2024
The Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC) is currently organising a National Workshop on the Ratification and Effective Implementation of MARPOL Annex VI, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean Sulphur Oxides Emission Control Area (Med Sox ECA) Requirements. The Workshop is being held in Alexandria, Egypt.
This National Workshop organised in conjunction with the International Maritime Organization ITCP’s Programme and co-financed by the Italian Ministry for Environment and Energy Security, is a vital step toward strengthening regional efforts to reduce air pollution from ships and promote cleaner and more sustainable shipping practices in the Mediterranean Region.
The workshop aims to provide:
- Guidance on ratifying MARPOL Annex VI
- Insights into implementing its provisions effectively, and
- An overview of the technical and operational implications of the Med Sox ECA
Bringing together over 40 participants from national authorities, maritime experts, and stakeholders, the Workshop will reinforce the importance of collective action in addressing shipping emissions and ensuring compliance with international standards.
REMPEC remains committed to supporting the Contracting Parties to the UNEP/MAP - Barcelona Convention in achieving a greener and healthier future for our shared Mediterranean Sea.
