21MAY2019 - NEWS - IMO2020 - Sniffer drones will start patrolling the world's busiest shipping ports

Teams of drones are about to start policing the skies of some of the world's busiest shipping ports. 

In the Netherlands, home to Europe's largest port, preparations are underway to use a large, unmanned flying vehicle capable of travelling well over 16km from the shore to detect emissions from ships.
In Hong Kong, where rule breakers face large fines and up to six months in prison, similar - albeit smaller - machines are currently being tested for the same purpose. Maritime authorities in Denmark and Norway have also already started using the technology.
