Subject: Invitation to Workshop on a new module in THETIS to support
the PRF Directive to be held in Lisbon on the 17th and 18th November
2015
Dear ,
The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has been established under Regulation (EC) 1406/2002 (as
amended) of the European Parliament and of the Council to contribute to the enhancement of European
maritime safety, maritime security, prevention of and response to pollution caused by ships.
Article 1 and 2 (d) of the amended regulation foresees EMSA to assist the Commission with the performance
of their assigned tasks in legislative acts in the field of the prevention of pollution caused by ships. To that
purpose EMSA undertakes work on the development of mechanisms to support the implementation and
uniform enforcement of the relevant pollution prevention legislation and notably the Directive 2000/59/EC on
port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues (PRF Directive) in all Member States.
Article 12(3) of the PRF Directive states that:
“Member States and the Commission shall co-operate in establishing an appropriate information and
monitoring system, covering at least the whole of the Community, to:
- improve the identification of ships which have not delivered their ship-generated waste and
cargo residues in accordance with this Directive,
- ascertain whether the goals set in Article 1 of the Directive have been met.”,
In order to assist EU Member States in implementing Article 12(3) EMSA has been tasked to develop a
specific module in THETIS to support the PRF Directive. This module has now developed to such a stage that
it can be presented to the Member States. Therefore, in order to introduce this new reporting system for
inspections under the PRF Directive, EMSA have organised a workshop on “A new module in THETIS to
th th
support the PRF Directive” on the 17 and 18 November 2015.

During the workshop the new module will be presented to the Member States, and demonstrations will be run
on how this new reporting system, designed to facilitate the PRF Directive inspection regime, will work. EMSA
would like to therefore invite one official with the responsibility for implementing Article 12 of the PRF Directive
from each of the EU Maritime Administrations, or the relevant Competent Authority within each Member State,
to attend this workshop. The workshop is aimed at the potential administrators or users of this new module
and a draft agenda is attached. The workshop will be held in English.

Please note this meeting is being held back to back with EMSA’s Workshop on Ship-Recycling on the 19 and

20 November.

The Workshop will introduce the new module in THETIS that has been
developed to support
enforcement of the PRF Directive, and demonstrations will be run on how
this new system, designed to
facilitate the PRF Directive inspection regime, will work. The workshop
is aimed at the officials with the
responsibility for implementing Article 12 of the PRF Directive from each
of the EU Maritime
Administrations, or the relevant Competent Authority, within each Member
State (i.e. the potential

responsibility does not lie within your remit,
please can you pass this letter on to the respective person within your
country who deals with this issue.
A draft Agenda is also attached.
If you would like to attend then please contact the relevant person in
