丹麦将从2025年7月1日起禁止船舶在其领海排放洗涤器水。丹麦议会提出的这项新法律旨在解决船舶废气清理过程中释放的有害物质造成的海洋污染问题。
洗涤器水是“开放式洗涤器”的副产品，该洗涤器在将废气排入大海之前用水清洁废气。这种水含有重金属和焦油，如铅、镉和蒽，它们可能会聚集在海底并进入食物链，从而危害海洋生物和人类。
丹麦政府还计划加强对“闭环洗涤器”的监管，该洗涤器将用过的水储存在港口设施中进行处理。
船舶将需要使用低硫燃料或更负责任地管理洗涤器废物。
环境部长马格努斯·海尼克（Magnus Heunicke）讨论了洗涤器水的风险，称它会导致海洋中有毒物质过量，影响鱼类，最终出现在人们的盘子里。
官员们认为，新法规将使镍污染减少20%，蒽污染减少7%。
该禁令将在距离丹麦海岸14海里以内实施。虽然丹麦不能在国际水域执行法律，但政府正在通过区域协议和国际海事组织（IMO）在波罗的海和北海实施类似的禁令。
丹麦加入了比利时、挪威和德国等已经实施此类限制的国家行列。丹麦正在采取另一项措施来保护海洋生物和清理海洋。

Denmark is set to ban the discharge of scrubber water from ships in its territorial waters starting July 1, 2025. The new law, introduced in the Danish Parliament, aims to address marine pollution caused by harmful substances released during ship exhaust cleaning.
Scrubber water is a byproduct of “open scrubbers,” which use water to clean exhaust gasses before dumping them into the sea. This water contains heavy metals and tars like lead, cadmium, and anthracene, which may harm marine life and humans by gathering on the seafloor and entering the food chain.
The Danish government also plans to tighten regulations for “closed-loop scrubbers,” which store the used water for disposal at port facilities.
Ships will need to use low-sulfur fuel or manage scrubber waste more responsibly.
Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke discussed the risks of scrubber water, saying that it contributes to excessive amounts of toxic substances in the sea, affecting fish and eventually ending up on people’s plates.
Officials believe that the new law will reduce nickel pollution by 20% and anthracene by 7%.
The ban will be implemented up to 14 nautical miles off Denmark’s coast. While Denmark cannot enforce the law in international waters, the government is working for similar bans in the Baltic and North Seas through regional agreements and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Denmark joins countries like Belgium, Norway, and Germany, which have already imposed such restrictions. Denmark is taking another step to protect marine life and clean up the oceans.
