New bunkering operation rules at Danish ports

New regulations came into force 21 May 2003 and concern the bunkering operations in Danish territorial waters.

The regulations include inspection of the bunker ship by the DMA, a record of inspections and pressure-testing of hoses to be kept on board, a means of emergency stopping the bunkering supply pumps, measures for before and during operation and a contingency plan in case of oil pollution.
