Council Directive 93/75/EEC concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goods.

Member States take all necessary and appropriate measures to ensure that the masters or operators of vessels bound for or leaving a Community port and carrying dangerous or polluting goods in bulk or in packaged form, as well as shippers of such goods observe the minimum requirements addressed to them under this Directive. No dangerous or polluting goods shall be offered for carriage or taken on board any vessel unless a declaration has been delivered to the master or operator containing the correct technical names of the dangerous or polluting goods, the quantities of such goods and, if in portable tanks or freight containers, their identification marks. The operator of a vessel leaving a port in a Member State shall notify before departure of the vessel all information listed in Annex I to the competent authority of that Member State.
