Achievement at a glance
THe Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) currently operates measuring stations in the access routes to the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Kiel. Further stations are planned on the Warnow and on government vessels. In further developing and operating the monitoring network, BSH works closely with other European countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, which carry out comparable measurements. The aim of the cooperation is to establish a European measurement network to provide mutual support in tracking the use of marine fuels that do not comply with the regulations.Beneficiaries
