As international trade develops, maritime transport has become one of the most important transportation modes owing to the advantages of large freight volume and lower costs. However, ships are also one source of marine litter. Sound ship waste management will contribute to the improvement of marine environment. As the transportation hub connecting the land and sea, ports are the central point of waste streams. The cooperation with ports on ship waste management is therefore a key element to reduce marine litter. See our video to learn more about our cooperation pilot in ports.
