Before you call at Sweden

Pre-arrival reporting

Sweden uses the Swedish Maritime Single Window (MSW Reportal) for reporting information regarding vessel port calls. The MSW Reportal is managed by the Swedish Maritime Administration in collaboration with the Swedish Coast Guard, Swedish Customs and Swedish Transport Agency.

Please see - https://www.tullverket.se/en/startpage/business/internationalbusiness/transportandstorageofgoods/transportinggoods/shipclearance/informationtobesubmittedviathemsw

Please see - https://www.kustbevakningen.se/en/permission-to-enter-swedish-sea-territory/notification-in-advance/

Sweden operates in accordance with the IMO FAL Convention. Please see pre-arrival information of individual ports for more details.

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%.
