Dunkerque-Port rewards clean port calls on its terminals to improve air quality
For more than 10 years, Dunkerque-Port has pursued a genuinely proactive policy in favour of sustainable development of the port. Implemented in 2014 by the roll-out of the Structural and Sustainable Development Plan (PA2D) which defines and supervises more than 150 operations in that respect, it has resulted in the use of good environmental practices especially in terms of dredging sediment management and preserving biodiversity. The mature strategy recently developed into an environmental management system, which obtained Port Environmental Review System (PERS) certification in 2018 as part of the ECOPORT network.
Marking the European Sustainable Development Week from 30 May to 5 June, and in order to accentuate the efforts made to reduce atmospheric emissions, in particular through the Regional Climate, Air and Energy Action Plan (SRCAE) backed by the Dunkerque Urban Community (CUD), Dunkerque-Port has launched an environmental reward system for low-emission vessels calling at Dunkerque. The initiative will help to improve air quality.
Air quality and a reduction in the emissions of sulphur, nitrogen and other fine particles have become international priorities. This is evidenced by the regulatory changes initiated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The maritime transport sector, a contributor to atmospheric emissions, is making positive progress in this direction by offering ever more efficient, energy-efficient vessels and using fuels that have less impact on the environment.
To encourage this change, Dunkerque-Port has joined forces with the Environmental Ship Index initiative (ESI) initiated by the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH), the principle of which is to assign a score to ships based on their atmospheric emissions. The higher the ship’s rating, the cleaner its air quality.
Companies and charterers that call at Dunkerque are invited to join this responsible initiative by signing a charter. The latter is intended to underline the willingness of companies and charterers to use more efficient, low-emission vessels for their port calls in Dunkerque. In return, Dunkerque-Port undertakes to pay a financial reward at the end of each year. The latter is calculated on the basis of the number of clean port calls made by the company or the charterer, in proportion to the total number of clean port calls recorded in the port over one year. An annual envelope will be distributed among the signatories of the charter.
Dunkerque-Port is one of the 50 or so volunteer ports in the world that have already approved the initiative.

Barcelona port is worst in Europe for cruise ship air pollution
The port of Barcelona, a city already The port of Barcelona, a city already overwhelmed by mass tourism, has topped a list of 50 European ports for the amount of air pollution produced there by cruise ships, according to a report.
In 2017 cruise ships emitted 32.8 tonnes of sulphur oxide (SOx) in Barcelona, according to the research. Palma de Mallorca was the second most polluted, with 28 tonnes, followed by Venice with 27.5. Southampton, with 19.7 tonnes, was fifth on the list.
Barcelona also leads in the amount of carcinogenic nitrogen oxide (NOx) particles the ships emit. Cruise ships account for 15% of the NOx emitted by all of Europe s passenger vehicles.
"Cities are, and with reason, banning diesel vehicles but at the same time are allowing free entry to cruise ship companies whose ships emissions cause immeasurable damage," said Faig Abbasov, maritime coordinator of the NGO behind the report, Brussels-based Transport and Environment.
Ships run on fuel oil, which contains about 2,000 times more sulphur oxide than ordinary diesel. The report claims that cruise ships docking in European ports produced 10 times more sulphur emissions than all the 260m cars in those countries combined. In the case of Barcelona, in 2017 cruise ships emitted nearly five times as much SOx as all the city s cars.
A recent report by the environmental group Ecologists in Action said toxic particles from the ships were detected as far as 249 miles (400km) from Barcelona s port. The impact is exacerbated by ships leaving their engines running while in port.
The city is Europe s busiest cruise ship destination, with some 2.7 million passengers disembarking from 800 ships in 2017. On a single day last October, seven ships with 18,000 passengers and 6,000 crew were docked in the port.
Environmental groups and residents associations in the city have campaigned for years for the numbers to be curbed. Last year, the Symphony of the Seas, the world s largest cruise ship, was met by protests when it arrived in Barcelona for its maiden voyage.
Campaigners argue that not only are the ships endangering residents health, especially those who live near the port, they are a form of tourism that brings few benefits to the city.
Most passengers visit the city for around five hours, spending an average of €57 each, and return to their ships at night.
Gala Pin, a Barcelona councillor who represents the old city that adjoins the port, raised a few eyebrows last year when she compared cruise ship tourists to locusts.
"In my opinion, we shouldn’t have this kind of tourism," she said. "It s like a plague of locusts. They devour the public space and then they leave."

While the city authorities have tried to limit the number of ships, they are good business for the port, which is managed by central government, not the city council.
The International Maritime Organization limits the amount of sulphur in fuel oil to 3.5% and in 2020 a new limit of 0.5% will come into force. However, under the European Union s clean air policy, the limit in the Mediterranean may be reduced to 0.1%.
Under current rules, there is a policy of zero emissions while ships are docked in Baltic, North Sea and Channel ports, and there are plans to extend this to the Mediterranean.by mass tourism, has topped a list of 50 European ports for

MSC Introduces War Risk Surcharge on Shipments to Venezuela
Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has decided to implement a war risk premium surcharge on cargo coming from worldwide destinations into Venezuela.
The surcharge will be applied with immediate effect, according to the company.
By imposing this supplementary charge, the carrier can recover potential extra costs it is going to bear. These charges are often applied in regions where piracy incidents are prevalent and in case of events that may escalate toward war.
As explained by MSC, the move comes "amid the imposition of sanctions related to Venezuela, and the ongoing political volatility in that country".
Venezuela is in the midst of a political, social and economic crisis due to the illegitimate regime of the country s government and the president Nicolas Maduro.
In response to corrupt practices of the Venezuelan government and individuals, a number of countries including the United States have imposed sanctions on the country. These are related to terrorism, anti-democratic activities and human rights violations in Venezuela.
The US sanctions include the ones targeting the oil sector and Venezuela s state oil and natural gas company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).
"The United States will continue tightening sanctions on oil and its derivatives until freedom and democracy are restored in Venezuela. International companies that continue doing business with sanctioned PDVSA are on notice," John Bolton, Advisor for US National Security Affairs, said on Twitter today.

Earlier this week, the US government unveiled new restrictions for US travel to Cuba, including banning cruise ship stops in the island country. The restrictions are meant to tighten the economic pressure on the Cuban government which is supporting the Maduro regime in Venezuela.
