What is a Waste Acceptance Facility?
Ports are required to establish waste acceptance facilities to receive waste generated by ships (sludge, bilge water, waste oil, garbage, domestic wastewater) and cargo residues. The waste produced by ships includes all waste and cargo residues that fall under Annex I, Annex IV, and Annex V of MARPOL 73/78, including sewage. Ports can collect this waste from ships docking at the port or from waste collection vessels operating in the area. Ports are responsible for establishing waste acceptance facilities with varying capacities and technical equipment based on the size of the port, the type of the ship docking, the duration of the voyage, and the number of ships. The general responsibilities of ports in the establishment and operation of waste acceptance facilities are as follows:
- Ports design the waste acceptance facility according to MARPOL 73/78 and submit the facility project report for approval to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.
- Installation work for the waste acceptance facility begins based on the approved project, and after the installation is completed, the facility is inspected by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization; if found suitable, a Waste Acceptance Facility approval certificate is issued,
- They dispose of the waste collected at the waste acceptance facility in accordance with Environmental Legislation or send it to other facilities licensed by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization for disposal,
- They also accept waste carried by the waste collection vessels with which they have contracts,
- They ensure communication with official institutions during the waste collection process, filling out necessary documents and forms and submitting them to the Provincial Directorates of Environment and Urbanization,
- They submit the waste management plan to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization every three years.

What is an Industrial Waste Management Plan?
The industrial waste management plan prepared by businesses that produce both hazardous and non-hazardous waste is determined by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. The implementation of all plans related to the environment and waste, aimed at protecting nature and passing it on to the future, is extremely serious. Generally, the plan, prepared for a duration of three years, must be processed according to waste codes. If industrial wastes are not controlled, they can mix with groundwater and threaten life. How to prepare an industrial waste management plan for ships:
With the awareness of environmental issues, reducing and controlling pollution in the marine environment has become a common problem not only for our country but for the entire world. Therefore, it is essential to take all necessary measures within the scope of the waste plan.
What is a Waste Acceptance Facility and What Does It Do?
Waste acceptance facilities designed to prevent pollution in seas and oceans exist to protect the rest of the world. Waste dumped into seawater, such as toxic waste or oil spills, is protected by international agreements due to its global concern. Waste acceptance facilities designed to prevent the discharge of these toxic ship wastes into the sea without complying with protocols or accidental spills also help to prevent many diseases that threaten human health.It is essential.
In our age, where saving and recycling are quite important, a waste facility is necessary for both household and industrial waste to create a sustainable environment. The Waste Acceptance Facility activity report prepared by an authorized environmental management unit is evaluated according to certain formats. In accordance with the zero waste management plan established within the framework of environmental law, the efficient use of water resources and the aim of not disrupting the ecological balance are meticulously monitored.
