The proposed Regulations apply to the management of hull biofouling on ships and mobile offshore units certified for international voyages entering Norwegian waters.
These Regulations aim to prevent the introduction of hazardous invasive species to Norway through hull biofouling resulting from international shipping, and to prevent the further spread of hazardous non-indigenous species in Norwegian waters. Two provisions of the Regulations will also apply to ships solely certified for domestic voyages.
