 Introduction

Considerations EU Directive 2019/883:

“To ensure the adequacy of port reception facilities, the

development, implementation and re-assessment of the
waste reception and handling plan is essential, based on
the consultation of all relevant parties. For practical and
organisational reasons, neighbouring ports in the same
geographical region might want to develop a joint plan,
covering the availability of port reception facilities in
each of the ports covered by that plan while providing a
common administrative framework.”

3
 Article 5 Directive Waste Reception and
Handling Plans

- Member States shall ensure that an appropriate

waste reception and handling plan is in place
- Member States shall ensure that information from
the waste reception and handling plan on the
availability of PRFs in their ports and the
structure of the costs is clearly communicated.
- Where required for reasons of efficiency, the
waste reception and handling plans may be
developed jointly by two or more neighbouring
ports in the same geographical region.

4
 Article 5 Directive Waste Reception and
Handling Plans

• Member States shall evaluate and approve the

waste reception and handling plan and ensure its
re-approval at least every five years.
• Small non-commercial ports which are
characterized by rare or low
traffic from recreational craft
only may be exempted.

 Annex I Directive 2019/883/EC

6
 Development of a PWMP

PWMP plan is a living document, preferaby

public and legally binding and established in
consultation with all relevant stakeholders like
the harbormaster, shipping agents, waste
operators, refineries, various terminals,
municipalities, environmental authorities and other
government agencies

7
 Key elements PWMP

• Overview of all relevant applicable legislation on

waste management
• List of existing PRFs
• Assessment of the need for additional PRFs
• Overview of type and quantitites of ship-
generated wastes/residues received and handled
• Description of procedures for the reception and
collection of ship-generated wastes/residues
• Description of the charging system (if applicable)
• Procedures for how to report and take action on
alleged inadequacies of PRFs

8
 Key elements PWMP

• Procedures on notification and reporting of ship-

generated wastes/residues
• Procedures for consultations with local
stakeholders and
• Enforcement measures

 Approval and monitoring process?

 Creation of a Port Working Group to consider all
key elements?

SECTION 2: Statutory framework:

• International regulations: MARPOL 73/78

• European regulations: relevant Council
Regulations and Council Directives
• National regulations: Wvvs and Wet Milieubeheer
(Environmental Management Act)
• Port Bye-Laws

SECTION 3: AREA OF APPLICATION - waste

13

SECTION 3: AREA OF APPLICATION – ships

• This PWMP is exclusively applicable to sea-going

ships.
• Not applicable to naval ships, naval auxiliary
ships and other ships in service of a State
• Not applicable to recreational craft < 12
passengers and fishing vessels

14
 PWMP Rotterdam Port

SECTION 3: AREA OF APPLICATION –

exemptions
• For ships which frequently and regularly call in at
certain ports the obligations regarding
notification, delivery and payment can be
disproportionately burdensome: exemption can
be granted
• Inspectorate determines whether the ship is
eligible for exemption.
• Exemptions are valid for a maximum of 5 years
• Reduction using MDO/MGO/LNG

SECTION 4: FINANCE System of indirect

financing

16
 PWMP Rotterdam Port

SECTION 4: FINANCE System of indirect

financing

• Fee obligation applies to all seegoing vessels

• The Port of Rotterdam Authority collects the
indirect fee at the same time as the seaport dues
for all port managers of the Rotterdam-Rijnmond
Port Region
• Basis of the indirect fee system: the fee consists
of a fixed fee and a fee per Gross Tonnage
(maximised at 30.000GT). Disposal
reimbursements consists of a fixed and a variable
amount of euros per m3.

17

SECTION 4: FINANCE System of indirect financing

Ships outside the financing system:
• vessels for which an exemption has been granted
• vessels equipped or used commercially for sports or leisure
purposes and which may not carry more than 12
passengers.
• fishing vessels
• dredgers
• sounding vessels
• port tugboats
• a seagoing vessel which visits the port in transit to/from
the hinterland or exclusively for bunkering, provided that
the ship does not stay in the Port for longer than four hours
• seagoing vessels which use gas oil or LNG (MDO/MGO/LNG)
as propulsion fuel, only insofar as these vessels deliver oily
ship waste

18
 PWMP Rotterdam Port

SECTION 5: PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES

• Capacity requirements: number of seagoing

vessels/visits and number of deliveries of waste
• Port reception facililities: 16 owners have been
designated in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Port
Region as PRF. A designation from the Municipal
Executive pursuant to the provisions of the local
port (management) bye-laws is needed for
owners.
• Monthly reporting.

SECTION 8: SUPERVISION AND ENFORCEMENT

• Inspectorate Transport and Water Management,
Shipping Inspectorate (ILENT/PSC): supervision
of compliance
• Harbour Master of Rotterdam: performs number
of supervisory tasks on behalf ILENT/PSC with
regard to Annex I and II cargo residues
• Rotterdam Port Authority: supervisory tasks
Rotterdam/Schiedam/Vlaardingen Port Bye-Laws
• Housing, Spatial Planning and Enviroment

Management, including a summary of:
• total of the costs in connection with the collection,
storage and processing of ship waste;

consultation with the relevant parties, in
particular the port users.
• Operational implementation of the Port Waste
Handling Plan: Rotterdam Division Harbour
Master

ASSESSMENT OF SHIP AND PORT WASTE

HANDLING
IN PORTS AND TERMINALS

26
 Information to collect:

1. Ship Waste and Port Waste - Actual Delivered

2. Port/Terminal Operations and Traffic
3. Waste Reception Facilities Available in Port/Terminal
for each Port Waste Type
4. Waste Registration (WR) Procedure
5. Type of Waste accepted from Ships by the
Port/Terminal
6. Payment System in Port/Terminal (Cost
Recovery/Waste Fee)
7. Monitoring and Inspection
8. List the name of national legislations, regulations of
municipality or current port/terminal regulations for
the handling of ship-generated waste.
9. Other relevant information for Indonesia?

27
 Guidelines: four key steps

28
 Topics for detailed discussion

• External requirements (international and national

legislation)
• Traffic and Waste analysis (how many ships is
expected to call the port and what kind of ships,
volume and type of waste expected)
• Policy and strategy discussions (important issues
which require port management involvement,
such as ownership and operation of facilities);
• Information and communication (how do the port
inform about the new waste handling system);

29
 Topics for detailed discussion

• Reception facilities and procedures (which facilities

are needed and how are the procedures for the waste
handling (collection/treatment/final disposal), the
financial procedures (who pays who and how much)
and the administrative procedures (registration of
waste to be delivered to the port reception facility);
• Economy (how shall the waste management system
be financed (waste fee or subsidized); and
• Draft the Waste Management Manual and prepare an
Implementation Plan if needed (implementation plan if
a long implementation period is expected).
