This is in response to heightening environmental and health concerns contributed by harmful emissions from ships.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers\u2019 Authority, Ms Benonita Bismarck in her address emphasised the distinct mandate of the two state organisations and explained the roles of each of them in the nationwide Sulphur Cap campaign.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3962\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMO-1.jpg\">\u201cIn fact, the African Maritime Transport Charter 2010, to which Ghana has subscribed, sheds ample light on the remits of maritime administrations relating to safety, security and pollution of the marine environment, while that of shippers\u2019 organizations, deals with freight rates, port charges, conditions of shipment and multimodal transportation.\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap Regulation presents cross cutting issues of significant interest to both organizations. While the GMA will focus on providing guidelines for the compliance and monitoring of same, the GSA will look at the impact of compliance by shipping lines on their charges (cost of shipment).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3965\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMO-4.jpg\">For his part, the Director General of the GMA, Mr Thomas Alonsi said he was hopeful partners in the maritime industry&nbsp; including bunker suppliers, ship owners and operators will be convinced &nbsp;of the urgency and necessity&nbsp; to comply with the&nbsp; new Sulphur Cap requirements&nbsp; to address&nbsp;the global environmental concerns&nbsp;to make the world a better place for all.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Director, Marine Environment, Safety and Standards of the GMA, Cpt. Abdul-Nadir Inusah took the participants through an elaborate presentation on the 2020 Sulphur Cap regulations<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from the Ship Owners and Agents Association of Ghana (SOAAG), National Petroleum Authority, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority among others participated in the seminar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3961\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMO-3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stakeholders in the shipping community in Tema were sensitised at a one-day seminar on Wednesday, 11thSeptember, 2019 on the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap Regulation which is due for implementation from<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
