Traffic rules in Georgian ports, as well as safety norms and fines for sea pollution, are about to get tougher.
According to the explanatory card of the draft law discussed in Parliament this week, the submitted amendments correspond to the resolution adopted on December 31, 2018, which defines the security rules of ships sailing under the flag of Georgia and ports located in Georgia.
The initiator of the bill is the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, and the author is the Maritime Transport Agency of Georgia under the same ministry.
