Guide to South Korea’s Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) programme
Year: 2020 Language: English Author: Intertanko Genre: Documentation, Guide Publisher: Intertanko Edition: 1st edition Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 13 Description: The South Korean Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (“MOF”) announced a “special act on improvement of air quality in port areas” in December 2019. As part of those special measures, a Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) programme is now in operation. Following Member feedback and questions, further guidance from the authorities in South Korea was sought in order to provide the comprehensive information detailed within this guide. From 1 December 2019, the Vessel Speed Reduction (VSR) programme became effective. This programme is voluntary. The objective is to encourage ships to lower their navigating speed in port areas, thereby reducing air pollutants emitted from ships including particulate materials (PM). Port fees will be discounted for ships which voluntarily lower their speeds to set targets defined in the VSR programme Sea Areas when moving from starting point to an end point within a Sea Area. For tankers, the target is 10 knots. Additional info: Any ship can report her voluntary speed reduction by logging into Korea’s Port Management Information System (“Port-MIS”, https://new.portmis.go.kr/portm...main/intro.xml). However, as the system is built in the Korean language, Members are advised to request their ship Masters to report their tankers’ speed reduction details through local agents who have their own login details.
