The Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) has intensified enforcement against illegal degassing in inland shipping, imposing fines starting at €30,000 for initial violations, escalating to €40,000 and €50,000 for subsequent offences. To detect violations, ILT employs drones, eNoses, and a dedicated team of inspectors. However, challenges persist due to limited degassing facilities. SuperFlox’s technology offers a proactive solution by eliminating harmful vapours at the source, enabling ship operators to comply with regulations and avoid substantial fines. Implementing SuperFlox’s system ensures environmental compliance and promotes sustainable practices within the maritime industry.
