124 RECOMMENDATIONS 5.3.7 Examine Minimum Safety Requirements for Vessels in the Upper Mekong RECOMMENDATION The competence of riparian authorities under the Lancang-Mekong Agreement on Commercial Navigation to inspect vessels operating in MRC Member Countries in relation to minimum safety requirements should be examined further. CHALLENGE The Risk Analysis identified that Chiang Saen Port and national line agencies have limited capacity to inspect inland barges from China and Myanmar. Of the vessels operating at Chiang Saen Port and Keawalee Terminal, 70 percent are Chinese-flagged, 20 percent are Myanmar-flagged and 10 percent are Lao-flagged. The National Working Group from Thailand strongly believes that there should be a regulation that allows the Marine Safety Administration to inspect the condition of other flag vessels as well as the safety of operations. Currently, the possibilities for enforcing the rules related to safety and environmental protection seem limited. Reportedly, a number of vessels sailing on the Upper-Mekong do not meet minimum safety requirements and increase the risks of pollution, fire and navigational accidents. The Agreement on Commercial Navigation on Lancang-Mekong River contains a mechanism for the establishment by the Riparian States of “common” rules on the transportation of dangerous goods on the Upper Mekong. It remains to be seen how these laws are applied in practice or whether national line agencies have the necessary powers to inspect the conditions and operations of foreign flag vessels prior to loading and discharging dangerous goods in the Upper Mekong. Also, there is a clear need for training of inspectors and their trainers. 5.3.8 Clarify Existing Rules and Regulations in Viet Nam RECOMMENDATION A detailed legal study of the legal framework related to the transport, storage and carriage of dangerous goods in Viet Nam should be carried out CHALLENGE The Risk Analysis revealed that Viet Nam has the most extensive legal instruments for IWT. However, a full legal review needs to be undertaken to determine the rules, decrees and circulars that specifically apply to the transportation of dangerous goods on the Mekong River. The study needs to include information on how the rules and regulations are implemented as well as on the national line agencies responsible for monitoring and compliance. It appears that there are often overlapping responsibilities between VIWA and VINAMARINE which limit the implementation of some rules and regulations for IWT.
5.3.9 Coordinate Draft Rules and Regulations in Cambodia RECOMMENDATIONS 125 RECOMMENDATION The draft Cambodian rules and regulations on dangerous goods should be coordinated with the existing Vietnamese rules and regulations on dangerous goods on the basis of the Cambodia-Viet Nam Agreement on Waterway Transportation. CHALLENGE The MPWT in Cambodia is currently drafting the Law on Inland Water Transport and a Draft Prakas on technical requirements for the transport of dangerous goods in Cambodia. Rules and regulations in Viet Nam for transport of dangerous goods should be considered prior to implementing the national regulations in Cambodia in order to enable standards to be harmonised. Furthermore, it is to be noted that the 2009 Agreement on Waterway Transportation specifically instructs the Mekong Navigation Facilitation Committee (MNFC) in Cambodia and Viet Nam to make proposals for the adoption by the Contracting Parties of harmonised rules and regulations on the transportation of dangerous goods. 5.3.10 Review Draft Rules and Regulations in Lao PDR RECOMMENDATION Draft rules and regulations for safe transport of dangerous goods in Lao PDR should be reviewed. CHALLENGE Lao PDR is currently drafting rules and regulations for the carriage and handling of dangerous goods. It will be important to ensure that the rules and regulations consider the Lancang-Mekong Agreement as well as the priority areas for ports, ferry crossings and cargo vessels which were identified in Volume I (Risk Analysis). The rules and regulations should be integrated with road and rail networks to improve the safety and efficiency of multimodal transport in the future. As already mentioned, there is currently no up-to-date legal regime for the stretch of the Mekong between Luang Prabang and Khone Falls. If Lao PDR and Thailand would conclude a new agreement with regard to this stretch, this agreement needs to be taken into account as well. Furthermore, it can be noted that capacity-building through training, seminars and/or workshops is needed in order to ensure that draft rules conform to existing international standards. 5.3.11 Study Existing Rules and Regulations in Thailand RECOMMENDATION The possibility to enact or improve laws and regulations on transportation of dangerous goods in Thailand which focus on inland waterway transportation should be studied. CHALLENGE As confirmed by the findings of the National Working Group in the risk register, there is almost no legislation concerning the carriage of dangerous goods in Thailand for the Mekong River.
