Sea Pollution (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003
Public bill · Government · Presented
The Bill would strengthen Ireland’s rules on pollution from ships by putting several international marine-protection agreements into Irish law. It would make shipowners responsible for bunker-fuel pollution, require insurance and certificates, support compensation claims and allow ships to be inspected, detained or fined; it would also improve emergency planning and reporting for oil and hazardous-substance spills, permit pollution exclusion zones, and regulate harmful ship coatings and air pollution. It would further allow passenger-boat licences to be revoked after offences and increase certain maritime penalties.
