As nations and regions introduce environmental reporting requirements, it can become complex and burdensome to monitor where new and existing reporting requirements exist, and whether any of your flights are subject to them. With 4AIR’s environmental regulatory monitoring and compliance program, we monitor your flying activity to alert you to potential compliance obligations and then provide a turnkey compliance package automatically.

🌊 Navigating Compliance and Environmental Responsibility in Maritime Operations 🌊 With countless vessels traversing our oceans, ensuring compliance with flag state regulations and IMO standards is crucial. 🤷🏽 But how many of these vessels truly prioritize environmental stewardship and the protection of marine life? As my father wisely said, ✅"The human being needs rules to do good. That's why they must have an eye on them all the time." 👁️ This is where the proper advanced maritime surveillance tools come into play. We have to choose wisely and be vigilant about the wellbeing and protection of the crews and the marine life.🐟 From AIS and LRIT to VMS and RF detection, these technologies provide real-time insights into vessel activities, ensuring compliance and safeguarding our oceans. Let's leverage these tools to monitor and protect our marine environment, ensuring that every vessel not only follows the rules but also respects the delicate balance of our marine ecosystems. 🌍🛳️ #MaritimeSurveillance #EnvironmentalProtection #SustainableShipping #MarineConservation #AIS #LRIT #VMS #MaritimeLaw

EASA publihed today its second Opinion of 2024. https://lnkd.in/djXtQ6Eg This Opinion proposes to update the applicable environmental protection requirements for the certification of products in Regulations (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) No 748/2012. Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/1087, sets out the essential requirements for environmental protection that refer to the requirements contained in Volumes I, II and III of Annex 16 ‘Environmental Protection’ to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. On 20 March 2023, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council adopted new amendments to these volumes for the continuous improvement of the environmental protection standards and recommended practices (SARPs). The proposed regulatory material amends Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 to refer to these new amendments. The proposed updates to Annex I (Part 21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 ensure the implementation of these amendments for the certification of products and clarify the applicable procedures for the environmental compatibility of the products. The proposed regulatory material will now be presented to the European Comission and Member States for its final adoption.

Opinion No 02/2024 - Implementation of the latest CAEP amendments to ICAO Annex 16 Volumes I, II and III This Opinion proposes to update the applicable environmental protection requirements for the certification of products in Regulations (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) No 748/2012.

AviationPros.com editor Christina Marsh (Basken) interviewed Revive Environmental President & CEO David Trueba about the impact of USEPA's recent actions on Airports and Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting units. Article: https://lnkd.in/g7Ve9YrR "Trueba advises airport operators to carefully consider their disposal options and make informed choices to minimize environmental and economic harm. He emphasizes that Revive Environmental's services align with the EPA's criteria for proper disposal of PFAS materials and have been operating according to the EPA's standards for the past year."

#Canadian_Arctic and #Norwegian_Sea Become #New #Emission_Control_Areas Under IMO Regulations Exciting developments in maritime environmental regulations! During MEPC 82, the IMO adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, designating the Canadian Arctic and Norwegian Sea as new Emission Control Areas (ECAs). Effective March 1, 2026, ships in these regions will face stricter NOx, SOx, and PM emissions limits to protect air quality and marine ecosystems. This includes using fuels with a sulfur content no higher than 0.10% or employing emissions-reducing technology. New vessels will also need to meet NOx Tier III standards. A significant step towards greener shipping #GreenShipping #EmissionControl #CleanSeas #MaritimeRegulations #IMO #MARPOL #MarineEnvironment

In addition to the recently published #EasyAccessRules for #Part21, #EASA is also supporting its #POAs with the demonstration of compliance against #SMS requirements with other publications! The POA Compliance Checklist identifies #Part21 regulatory paragraphs where novelties or partial novelties have been introduced by Regulation (EU) 2022/201. The checklist is available for everyone to have a look and make good use of it! https://lnkd.in/eu7TD5GY
