MARPOL
The Port of Tarragona’s Plan for Receiving and Handling Ship-generated Waste and Cargo Residues
The MARPOL Convention, with its six appendices, is the cornerstone of the global legal framework for preventing pollution by vessels. This is the most important international agreement on preventing pollution of the marine environment and the atmosphere by ships, whether due to operational or accidental causes. In this respect, the Port of Tarragona has designed a plan that is specific and appropriate to the regulations for receiving and handling refuse and waste generated within the framework of the Port activity.
The Port of Tarragona’s Plan for Receiving and Handling Ship-generated Waste and Cargo Residues was approved by the Board of Directors on January 29th 2025.
Aims
To ensure that the Port of Tarragona, the marinas and the terminals have facilities that are adequate and sufficient for receiving waste from vessels, regardless of type.
To ensure the correct development and environmental management of waste from vessels, or that resulting from loading operation procedures at the facilities.
To increase the availability and use of reception facilities for ships and boats for these activities, by ensuring the information about them is disseminated clearly and concisely.
