Publication of the Decree restricting the use of exhaust gas cleaning systems

As a sustainable port, Port of Amsterdam has a duty of care towards the marine environment. It wants to limit marine pollution and soil pollution as much as possible. Because when using an exhaust gas scrubber in open loop mode in combination with fuel oil with more than 0.1 mass % sulphur, washing water is constantly discharged at the berth, the use of this technology for moored seagoing vessels within the municipality of Amsterdam is prohibited.
