6 IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

7 What do Med ports do? We know that Environmental management is challenging but essential ( lisence to operate and to grow ) We work together and commit to actions Professional cooperation (The MedCruise Professional Development Course) Assisting tools Proactive voluntary self-regulation Added value for both the sector and individual ports Trends provide inspiration for further improvement

8 Note: Environmental priorities change over time Source: ESPO, various years

9 ASSISTING TOOLS: INVOLVEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE CRUISE RESEARCH

10 Med Cruise ports care: Project Overview 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

11 Why? Rules (MARPOL73/78 Annex V) Principles for waste management Waste Hierarchy At Sea INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS A COMPLEX ISSUE Storage Segregation Reuse Treatment Incinerators Recycling Energy Recovery Ashore Reception Storage Segregation Treatment Recycling Re-use Compost Biogas Energy recovery Transfer to Centralized Station

12 Med Cruise Ports care: Project Overview Waste Management MedCruise partnered with other actors to identify concrete actions within the framework of the European Directive on waste, the so- called 3Rs: Reduction, Reuse, Recycling and revised Marpol Annex V. Waste prevention (reduction, minimization) Reuse Recycle Energy recovery Disposal Packaging Define a plan for the recovery or re-use of 30% Bio-waste Re-use the economic value of 2,000 ( - 90%) Paper Define a plan for the recovery or re-use of 40%
