On Aug. 14, 2024, China’s Maritime Safety Administration issued a “List of Hazardous Materials Banned from or Restricted in Use on Chinese-flagged Seagoing Ships.” It specifies control measures for the regulated materials.
In the list, “Chinese-flagged seagoing ships” refer to Chinese-flagged seagoing ships operating either internationally or domestically, including ships operating on fixed direct routes in the sea or large rivers.
When the list will take effect is not made clear, but its draft published Feb. 22, 2024 stated that the list would apply to every internationally or domestically operating Chinese-flagged seagoing ship built or repaired on or after June 26, 2025. The draft is available via the link at the bottom of this article.
