Interactive Database of Port Specific Discharge Regulations
As a resource to the maritime community, MERC is developing a searchable database of ship discharge regulations for ports around the world. The primary objective of this map-based resource is to disseminate up-to-date environmental regulations to vessel operators, owners, and crews, which will in turn prevent unnecessary regulation infractions and environmental degradation. This is a living database that is constantly being updated and expanded with port specific information on: >
- Port Information listed:
- – Territorial Waters
- – Air Emissions
- – Oily Water
- – Soild Waste
- – Black Water
- – Gray Water
- – Ballast Water
- – Fuel Restrictions
- – Port Contact Information
- This effort is funded by the U.S. Maritime Administration and is conducted in partnership with GloBallast, the GEF/UNDP/IMO Global Ballast Water Management Program.
