Denmark Tightens Ship Pollution Controls at Skagen Red
The Danish government has bolstered its environmental supervision of ships anchoring at Skagen Red. This move aims to prevent pollution and strengthen enforcement against vessels violating rules in Danish waters.
The enhanced monitoring will ensure compliance with key regulations, including waste management, ballast water, scrubber discharge, scrapping certification, and fuel standards. These ships pose heightened risks to maritime safety and the marine environment.
Denmark is tightening controls to take more effective action against tankers and the Russian shadow fleet. The move comes amid increased activity by older vessels, including tankers transporting sanctioned Russian oil through Danish waters. Notably, the Russian cargo ship Lady R, sanctioned for illegal arms transfers with North Korea, has reemerged at North Korea's northeastern port of Rason. The Danish Maritime Authority and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency will conduct more frequent environmental inspections to enforce these stricter measures.
