Pre-arrival reporting

Vessels seeking access to Italian ports should expect to provide information regarding vessel particulars, crew/passenger declarations, customs, immigration, health and security.

The Port Management Information System (PMIS) is the national maritime single window interface for sending declarations formalities for ships arriving at Italian ports. PMIS is operated by the Italian Coastguard and facilitates the submission of pre-arrival information as required by various Italian authorities. Please see - https://www.guardiacostiera.gov.it/portale/web/english/national-maritime-single-window-pmis

Please see pre-arrival information of individual Italian ports for more information.

Rules in port

In the EU, SOx emissions from ships are regulated by Directive (EU) 2016/802, known as the 'Sulphur Directive'.

Since 1st January 2015, stricter sulphur limits for marine fuel in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) apply (0.1%) as well as in sea areas outside ECAs (3.50%). In addition, a 0.1% maximum sulphur requirement for fuels used by ships at berth and anchorages within port limits was introduced in EU Ports from 1st January 2010. Furthermore, passenger ships operating on regular services to or from any EU port should not use marine fuels if their sulphur content exceeds 1.50% in sea areas outside the ECAs.

From 1st January 2020, ships operating outside of Emission Control Areas should not use marine fuels if their sulphur content exceeds 0.50%.
