Abstract: Air pollution is the most relevant externality of maritime transport and its effects are more acute in urban areas. As Short Sea Shipping (SSS) services call ports frequently and expend significant time in port, both the overall turnaround time and the port city closeness, become critical in their sustainable performance. This paper analyses the impact of maritime transport
on Spanish SSS ports and identifies the ideal ones, reflecting the differences in their sustainable performance and finally identifying the characteristics that a harbour needs to gather in order to minimize air pollution impact in the maritime transport sector.

Wärtsilä is delivering several scrubbers a month in the lead up to the ECA regulations entering into force in Europe in 2015. It is now too late to start and finish an installation project by the end of the year, but this delivery rate is more likely to pick up than to abate.
“The main argument for scrubbers is that you get a cost saving compared to switching to gas oil inside ECAs, and we initially thought that the financial argument would be the only driver,” says Sigurd Jenssen, director, EGC at Wärtsilä Environmental Solutions. Jenssen had underestimated the importance some shipowners place on their environmental reputation. Wilhelmsen, for example, is installing scrubbers on ROROs that work worldwide and therefore

Ul catedrático de Derecho Internacional Privado de la Universidad del País Vasco, Juan José Álvarez Rubio, fue contundente en su intervención en el seminario organizado por la Fundación Universidade da Coruña sobre seguridad marítima: "Jurídicamente hablando, de producirse hoy un caso como el del Prestige, estaríamos en las mismas circunstancias".
Así de simple. Así de claro. Así de rotundo.
Pero es que no se trata de una cuestión que atañe exclusivamente al aspecto jurídico del asunto: en este interesante seminario desarrollado en el salón de actos del castillo de Santa Cruz y con un envidiable tiempo de verano que hermoseaba todavía más la ría de A Coruña, se volvió a hablar, aunque un tanto sotto voce, de
