US-EPA VGP

Vessels operating in US territorial waters must comply with the requirements of the 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP). This will be replaced by the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA) in 2022. Although it is expected to be very similar to the current VGP, it is not yet certain what the exact requirements for sampling and analysis intervals will be. The VGP covers the compliance of ballast and scrubber water.
