1 Ship-generated waste management Ellen Kaasik Head of Quality and Environmental Management Department Workshop on PRF for the Baltic Sea as Special Area according to MARPOL Annex IV Kiel

2 HARBOURS FROM CARGO TO CRUISE Tallinn Muuga Harbour Saaremaa Harbour Old City Harbour Paljassaare Harbour Paldiski South Harbour

3 ORGANIZATION THE COMPANY IN A NUTSHELL State-owned limited liability company Port of Tallinn is a landlord port We provide infrastructure land, quays and sea approaches Private operators provide superstructure: handling equipment and warehousing

4 RESULTS IN 2015 OF THE PORT OF TALLINN 22.4 mln tons of cargo TEU containers 9.79 mln passengers 1684 cargo ship calls 5397 passenger ship calls 283 cruise ship calls

5 REGULAR CARGO LINES

6 OLD CITY HARBOUR Estonia s Biggest Tourism Gateway Passengers (ferries, cruises, yachts), Ro-Ro TERRITORY AQUATORY TOTAL LENGTH OF BERTHS NUMBER OF BERTHS MAX. DEPTH MAX. LENGTH OF A VESSEL 54.2 ha 75.9 ha 5 km m 340+ m

7 SAAREMAA HARBOUR Enjoy the most beautiful and purest nature on the Baltic Sea! TERRITORY AQUATORY TOTAL LENGTH OF BERTHS NUMBER OF BERTHS MAX. DEPTH MAX. LENGTH OF A VESSEL ha 44.3 ha 460 m 3 + floating drydock 10 m m Passengers (yachts & cruises), cargo

8 TOTAL RECEIVED SHIP-GENERATED WASTE (m 3 ) Oily waste water Garbage Hazardous waste Sewage MARPOL VI waste

9 WASTE WATER RECEPTION FACILITIES TALLINN No of piers with fixed reception facilities 8 Capacity varies m³/h (depends how many ships are discharging at the same time) Other modes trucks, barges Max/min per cruise ship 868/7 m³ Total m 3, incl. cruise ships m 3 via direct sewage system m³ by trucks m³ by barge 670 m³ No special fee system yes

10 WASTE HANDLING ISSUES "No-special-fee" system with the dual purpose of encouraging ships to deliver waste ashore and to avoid undesirable waste streams between ports, thereby encouraging a sound sharing of the waste burden. Ships calling at Port of Tallinn harbours shall have the obligation to pay waste fee and this does not directly depend on quantity of shipgenerated waste delivered. Rate of waste fee depends on: ship type; ship gross tonnage (GT); average calculated shipgenerated waste quantity; price fixed in the contract concluded with the company organizing waste handling

11 WASTE HANDLING ISSUES For waste fee the following ship-generated waste shall be received from the vessel: bilge water; oily sludge; sewage (up to 7 m³); garbage; Other ship-generated waste (excl. cargo residues)

12 PRF INVESTMENTS IN OLD CITY HARBOUR Construction of fixed sewage reception facilities connected to municipal sewer system: 2012 design of PRF (financed by NIB from BSAP fond) 2014 construction of fixed reception facilities connected to public sewage system at quays no 13-16, (EUR 0,6 M co-financed by EU project TWIN-PORT1)

13 PRF INVESTMENTS IN OLD CITY HARBOUR Construction of fixed sewage reception facilities connected to municipal sewer system: 2016 (completed) construction of fixed reception facilities connected to public sewage system at quays no (EUR 0,15 M)

14 PRF DEVELOPMENT PLANS IN OLD CITY HARBOUR 2016 construction of micro-tunnel (EUR 1,8 M co-financed by EU project TWIN-PORT2) Connects the sewage pipeline with the deep sewer system of the city Total reception capacity of sewage will increase from 100 m³ to 1,000 m³ per hour. The establishment of PRF in Port of Tallinn Old City Harbour is dedicated to the fulfillment of the HELCOM BSAP goals, IMO and MARPOL Annex IV regulations for Baltic Sea special area.

15 TWIN-PORT 2 Port of Tallinn, Old City Harbour

16 Amount of ship-generated waste delivered to the baltic sea harbours from cruise ships We have compared waste volumes from 10 cruise ships which delivered extremely large amount of ship-generated wastes (compared to the amount of wastes usually delivered by the analogous ships) to the port reception facilities in the Port of Tallinn.

17 Cruise ship generated waste fractions are unevenly distributed among the ports in the Baltic Sea Port of Helsinki and the Ports of Stockholm - the amount of received wastewater is remarkably higher than the number of passengers (ports received wastewater without extra charges and restrictions) Copenhagen Malmö Port and Port of Tallinn the numbers are the contrary The decline in Copenhagen Malmö Port can most likely be explained by the restriction put on the amount of discharged wastewater *Master s thesis: A STUDY FROM THE PORTS POINT OF VIEW ON A POSSIBLE UPDATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Irina Svaetichin, 2016

18 The distribution of total amount of garbage and total amount of passengers in Baltic Ports * Port of Tallinn is the port which receives the highest quantity of garbage Port of Helsinki, Ports of Stockholm and Copenhagen Malmö Port receive fairly less garbage compared to the amount of passengers

19 CHALLENGES & CURRENT ISSUES Interpretations in different ports are very different Definition of adequacy of PRF (incl. small ports): - fully meet the needs of ships regularly using them - must meet the needs of ships normally using the port - must comply with national, local and other legislation on waste collection and processing Negotiations on quality of sewage (household vs industrial waste waters, how to charge and measure, limitations of the amount etc.) PRF costs for the port go up Need to improve the information flow between port authorities and shipping companies to prevent waste tourism
