DUTCH shipowners are hopeful that a US Coast Guard decision to target all of their vessels because of failures in complying with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code will be overturned on October 1.

When the USCG announced that the Netherlands ranked alongside the likes of Bolivia, Thailand, the Cayman Islands and Russia, the usually well-respected Dutch shipowners were dismayed.

The ruling meant all Dutch-registered ships have been boarded by the USCG in the last month.

This decision was based on a mathematical formula that determines which ships need to have special scrutiny.

The Netherlands was among those scoring seven points.
