Consultation about safe disposal of time


expired flares by MCA open until 15 March The Department for Transport (DfT), in collaboration with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), has published a consultation about the safe disposal of time expired marine pyrotechnics (flares) from the pleasure boat sector. The consultation remains open until 15 March 2021.


The consultation seeks feedback to decide the next course of action when, in December 2021, the MCA’s current interim arrangements for flare disposal are set to end. The consultation doesn’t hold back in assessing where the problem of who pays for the pollution has arisen, saying the industry has failed to organise itself effectively.


According to the consultation, the sector’s multiple reasons for failing to engage in developing an effective range of solutions for flare disposal, does not justify its continued failure “to respond, as other sectors have, and to properly and responsibly address the management and safe disposal of its own waste.”
