Port-state-control (PSC) authorities in Belgium and the Netherlands have invested in new equipment to help refine their inspections on sulphur compliance.
Eugeen Van Craeyvelt, director general of shipping at Belgium’s Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport for shipping, says his department invested in three portable sulphur analysers costing €21,000 ($24,000) each last year.
Two of the units have been deployed in Antwerp with the third "travelling" between Zeebrugge and Ghent.
