Discharge water from open-loop scrubbers is banned in a number of regions and ports. A large number of ports have not yet announced a final decision.
BIMCO has released a list with the respective regions in October containing confirmed bans of discharge.
However, many smaller ports will not have the media coverage a global hub like Singapore has and therefore BIMCO suggests shipowners clarify with their agents and/or port officials before entering a port.
