answer text

The Department has not commissioned research or gathered scientific evidence concerning the effect of open loop scrubber systems (designed to remove a range of contaminants from a ship’s exhaust gases) on sediments in UK waters. The Department is aware of the increasing interest in this area and of the potential effects on the receiving coastal/marine environment due to wastewater discharges from these systems. As more robust, scientific evidence emerges, Defra will assess the risks to sediment and seawater quality.
