The European Experience Most European countries ratified MARPOL more than 25 years ago. Some ports established reception facilities Others made arrangements with external waste operators (no responsibility) Some did nothing (easy solution)
EU Directive EC 59/2000 Complements MARPOL by requiring ports to provide adequate facilities, and by requiring ships to deliver. recognise that individual Port Waste Management Plans were the tool to force the shipping industry (ports and ships) to comply with national and international legislation Key elements : Mandatory Port Waste Management plans Economic incentives (cost recovery system /indirect fee) Efficient waste notification Detailed guidelines
What can be arranged at a regional level Indirect fee system (economic incentives) Information on availability of PRF Obligatory delivery of waste Notification of delivery Port waste management plans for each port Why a regional approach Level playing field Reduce the incentive for dumping: No costs incentives, Adequate information, Increased availability of reception facilities, Availability with undue delay
