INVOLVEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE CRUISE RESEARCH
ASSISTING TOOLS:
Project OverviewMed Cruise ports care:Waste reception facilities
• MedCruise partnered with other actors to map the existing waste reception facilities in Mediterranean ports• Cruise lines will soon know where and how they can
discharge waste• Ports will learn which are the best practices
Why?
• Rules (MARPOL73/78 Annex V)
• Principles for waste management
• Waste Hierarchy
INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS A COMPLEX ISSUE
At Sea Ashore
• Storage• Segregation • Reuse• Treatment • Incinerators • Recycling• Energy
Recovery
• Reception• Storage• Segregation• Treatment • Recycling• Re-use • Compost • Biogas • Energy recovery • Transfer to Centralized
Station
Packaging Define a plan for the recovery or re-use of 30%Bio-waste Re-use the economic value of 90%Paper Define a plan for the recovery or re-use of 40%
Project Overview
MedCruise partnered with other actors to identify concrete actions within the framework of the European Directive on waste, the so-called 3Rs: Reduction, Re-use, Recycling and revised Marpol Annex V.
