The European Commission has introduced a key measure to tighten control over vessels navigating near EU coastlines.<\/p>\n

The latest change updates the Vessel Monitoring Directive (2022\/59\/EC) and introduces a new Delegated Directive, making it mandatory for all vessels, including those that are just passing through EU waters without entering any EU port, to provide insurance details.<\/p>\n

This amendment applies to both existing and future Mandatory Ship Reporting Systems (MRS), expanding the scope of surveillance and improving how authorities track ship movements in EU waters.<\/p>\n

The requirements for insurance disclosure now cover all ships within reporting zones, even if they don\u2019t dock at EU ports.<\/p>\n

The Commission aims to improve its ability to monitor maritime activities, investigate when necessary, and reduce the risk posed by uninsured or unsafe ships.<\/p>\n

This move strengthens the EU\u2019s commitment to match its regulations with global safety standards, according to the European Commission.<\/p>\n

The Director General for Mobility and Transport, Magda Kopczynska, said that the measure is expected to enhance the readiness of EU coastal states.<\/p>\n

In response to the updated regulation, the European Commission and EU Member States have submitted a proposal to the International Maritime Organisation(IMO).<\/p>\n

The proposal seeks minor adjustments to several existing Mandatory Ship Reporting Systems covering areas in and around European coastal waters.<\/p>\n

The updated Delegated Directive specifically amends Annex I of Directive 2002\/59\/EC. It ensures that all vessels entering reporting areas along EU coastlines-not just those visiting ports- must provide proof of insurance.<\/p>\n

This change is expected to strengthen oversight, reduce environmental risks, and improve safety across EU maritime zones.<\/p>\n
