FOREIGN vessels visiting Shanghai port can now apply to pass an assessment programme and enjoy privileges, including exemption from some ship inspections, Xinhua reported.
The Shanghai Green Ship Scheme is now open to vessels that are "safe, non-polluting and of good quality", according to the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration.
Foreign vessels that pass the assessments will be granted privileges effective for two years. They would include exemption from vessel inspections, priority in using the deep waterways at the mouth of the Yangtze River and priority in handling customs procedures, the report said.
Foreign vessels visiting Shanghai port have been increasing at a rate of 10 per cent year by year and the total number came to 35,000 in 2007, the report added.

So what category would "green ships" come under? Would genetically modified grains be supposed "green ships" and contaminate all China's grains with GM by being a "supposed" green ship?
