MTS FLORIAN: THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO IMPROVE…

MTD Maritime Services & Port Reception Facility in Antwerp is an authorised ‘port reception facility’ * . The company is strategically located at quay 373 along the Scheldelaan in Antwerp. MTD Maritime Services collects the waste in the Antwerp to Zeebrugge area; MTD Port Reception Facility then processes and/or further separates the waste for recycling via large installations. There are also facilities for degassing, steam supply and cleaning at the site.

* On arrival at their port of destination, seagoing vessels must inform the authorities by report of the waste materials they have on board that were accumulated during their voyage. After reporting and documentation, the waste may only be disposed of at an authorised ‘port reception facility’. This applies both to solid matter and liquid substances as well as to residual load. In short – and this is by no means complete – for solid matter it means food-waste, plastic, rags and paper. Liquid substances include oil and oil-bearing residues and latrine waste.
