".
For some companies, it is appealing to carry out their activities in an area where there is little or no government control, so that they are not hindered in their profitable activities which could constitute a risk for their workers, for other people or for the environment. For a long time, anything that was not allowed on land seemed to be permitted at sea, and certainly when this concerned the sea area outside the territorial waters. Most of the damage was done and most indignation caused when oil tankers made water, as a result of which their cargo covered the coasts and animals living on them for a long time. Decisions have already been taken on the use of ships that knowingly dump parts of their cargo that has become unusable, or the remainder of their fuel, as well as on the phasing out of single-hulled tankers. This has not yet made the maritime environment sufficiently safe. There are transitional periods, and unexpected situations arise all the time that constitute risks for passengers and crew and for a large area at sea or on the coast. This is why it is useful that a body will be set up that gathers knowledge and monitors rules. For too long, all eyes have been on the composition of the board and the differences of opinion on that score. This is why I can agree in this case on a prompt start and on moving possible improvements to a later date."@en1
