Saudi ports track 49 vessels violating ballast rules

Saudi Arabia detected 49 ships violating ballast water regulations at its ports, despite 97% of ships already docked complying with maritime environmental standards, according to the Director of the Monitoring Network Department at the National Center for Environmental Compliance. The report showed that monitoring efforts covered more than 1,850 ships over the past year, aimed at protecting the marine environment from the spread of threatened microorganisms, with corrective measures taken against violators. These oversight activities are part of Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to preserve more than 3,400 kilometers of its coastlines.
