The National Plan has had a relatively quiet year in terms of spill response, but a rather busy year in terms of maritime incidents. The National Plan has been called upon to respond to 88 minor spill incidents.
The 2014-15 year has been a busy one, with a focus on the development and implementation of supporting policies, guidelines and advisories, in support of the 2014 published National Plan. The 2015 annual National Plan exercise, Exercise Westwind, was a great success.
The purpose of this marine notice is to inform cruise vessel masters and operators of AMSA’s policy on limiting sulphur emissions from cruise vessels[1] when at berth in the Port of Sydney Harbour.
