Question 12668 — water transport

Summary

Mr. Joël Bruneau alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature, responsible for the sea and fisheries, on the application of European Directive 2017/2108, transposed into French law in 2019, which profoundly modifies the framework applicable to aluminum passenger ships. It targets in particular vessels over 24 meters in length. reference length built from 1998 in materials equivalent to steel, including aluminum. Retroactive application of the provisions it introduces would result in the decommissioning of several recent, perfectly maintained vessels whose safety has never been compromised. For certain small local shipowners, adaptation to this directive amounts to an investment sometimes equivalent to half the purchase price of the ship even though it has not yet been fully depreciated. He asks that negotiations be initiated with the European Commission so that this directive only applies to new boats and not to those already sailing, in which case this would have a significantly negative economic impact for a certain number of SMEs. He also asks her for her position on this matter.
