Is there a minimum annual ship visit threshold for determining a fleets applicability?
Yes. The regulation applies to an operator of a container-ship or refrigerated-cargo ship fleet whose ships cumulatively make 25 or more visits annually to one of the specified ports. It also applies to an operator of a passenger-ship fleet whose ships cumulatively make five or more visits annually to one of these ports. Fleets whose ships cumulatively make less than the specified minimum annual visits to a port are not affected by the regulation.
