Greece has recently made changes to the law regulating pollution of marine environment. Some of the changes concern penal sanctions and administrative fines for infringement of the regulations on ship-source pollution.

A polluter may be fined up to EUR 100,000 for any degradation of the sea water quality. A vessel imposed with a fine will be prohibited from sailing until the fine is paid or a bank guarantee is provided.

For further details including the obligation of the polluter, please find attached bulletin with information about penal sanctions and administrative fines, from our correspondent Kalimbassieries.
