The revised Canadian AGM Policy became effective on Mar 18,2011.The major change of this policy is including China and Korea as part of regulated areas plus enforcement action ( monetary penalty-CAD $10,000).
If vessel arrive without Phytosanitary Certificate to certify that vessel is free from AGM at her last port of call in a regulated area, she can have AGM inspection by Canadian authority at remote anchorage (constance bank) and will incur extra expenses including monetary penalty etc for approximate CAD $ 15,000 plus off hire delay.
Our AGM season commenced on Mar 1,2012. By end of March, over 30 ships were considered as non-compliant vessel and request AGM inspection at constance bank anchorage.
Please note our AGM season will last until October 15, 2012 , and pay extra attention on this new policy and to avoid ship’s delay and extra expenses due to non-compliance of AGM regulations.

2011年加拿大对亚洲舞毒蛾的政策
加拿大对亚洲舞毒蛾的修订政策于2011年3月18日生效。这一政策的重大变化在于将中国和韩国也列入管制区，并增加了强制措施（罚款10,000加元）。
如果船舶到达加拿大时，无《植物检疫证书》证明该船舶在最后一个受管制区域的停靠港没有受到亚洲舞毒蛾的污染，那么该船舶可由加拿大当局在外港进行检验，并将产生包括罚款等的额外费用，约15,000加元及停租损失。
亚洲舞毒蛾季节从2012年3月1日开始。直至3月底，已有超过30艘船舶被视为不符合规定而需在外港锚地检验。
请客户们注意亚洲舞毒蛾季节将持续至2012年10月15日，并多加关注新政策，以避免因未遵守亚洲舞毒蛾的规定，而导致的船舶延误和额外开支。
