Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has announced the
introduction of agency services covering Ship Pollution
Response Organization (SPRO) regulations for vessels
calling at ports in China.
The provision of the service follows new requirements
introduced by the Chinese Maritime Safety Agency (MSA) that
all vessels calling Chinese ports must have a valid
contract with a licensed SPRO in China.
The rules apply to any ship carrying polluting and
hazardous cargoes in bulk or any other vessel above 10,000
gt and came into effect from January 1, 2012, with a grace
period until March 1 at ports where the MSA has yet to
approve SPROs. The requirements do not apply to Hong Kong
or Macau.
Having concluded agreements with local SPRO service
companies, WSS is able to provide its customers with
contracts with licensed suppliers at all ports in China,
delivering certainty that they are in compliance with the
regulations.
"Through the five WSS offices along the coastline of China,
we aim to offer to our clients a global standard of service
and peace of mind that they are compliant with the oil
pollution response regulation. As with all agency services
provided by WSS, our aim is to eliminate the operational
burden on the shipowner and to increase their vessels'
operational efficiency at Chinese ports."
WSS customers with any questions regarding SPRO contracts
and procedures should contact their local WSS port
specialists for further information. A list of contact
