According to Finland’s Ministry of Transport and Communications, the
country is about to ratify the Ballast Water Management Convention this
September.
On 16 June 2016, the Finnish
Government proposed President of the Republic to adopt the Convention as well
as to ratify acts that lay down the provisions on the entry into force of the
convention. The acts would become effective only after the convention has
entered into force in Finland and internationally. Although country’s
President, Sauli Niinistö, approved this proposal, the process to ratification
has been delayed.
In
addition, Panama’s ratification is on schedule and needs President’s approval
to be incorporated into national law.
It remains to see if
Finland would ratify the Convention during the month. If so, based on current
figures, the Convention will come effective officially a year earlier than
expected, as Finland’s 0.14 per cent of the world fleet will cover the total
tonnage needed.
