BOAT WASTE

Global trade logistics is intrinsically linked to countries' ability to ship and receive a wide variety of products. Ports especially maritime ports are an excellent transport route receiving millions of tons of materials such as fuel food electronic products clothing etc. However during the movement of consumer goods many types of waste are generated and require strategic management in order to protect terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems from any type of contamination. Thus the management of shipboard waste in seaports is essential to mitigate environmental impacts due to the receipt transportation packaging and final disposal of this waste since many of them are classified as hazardous.
