PORT WASTE MANAGEMENT	08/08/2005
	Modern ports reflect the needs of the region and the city and adjust to the changing pattern of shipping. Ports today play an important part in the economy of the city and the region. However, as with other industries, the framework of the ports demands continuous development. Port operation is a key element in the strategic planning and the interaction between port and city is a vital factor in ensuring that the port remains a living entity. Efficient waste collection from ships calling a port has for many years not been a serious matter, mainly because ships have identified alternative solutions at sea. However, due to strengthened legislation on national as well as international level e.g. MARPOL 73/78, London Dumping Convention and EU Directives, focus on pollution at the sea and coastal areas from ships is now increasing.
