“…From this perspective, it can be noted that considerable amounts of food waste are available from ships (Zuin et al, 2009). In particular, food stream represents one of the main shares of waste in ships, with significant amounts especially for cruise liners (Polglaze, 2003).…”

“…Studies [23, 54, 55] have shown garbage processing equipment can facilitate vessels by reducing shipborne garbage volume to a manageable size to store on the vessels before sending to port for disposal. Depending on the type of ship, area of operation, vessels voyage duration, and number of crews, installing garbage processing equipment can be costly.…”

“…Although accumulation of marine debris can be serious particularly in areas of high maritime traffic or ocean-based activities or circulating ocean currents [6, 20, 21], there is little information on the relationship between debris from ship and the presence of similar debris on the beaches [16, 17, 22]. Nevertheless, vessels may contribute to debris accumulation on beaches; however, the quantity of shipborne garbage trends has been manipulated or extrapolated [16, 23, 24]. To determine the estimated shipborne garbage amount is subject to vast variability including sampling method, combination of multi-point-source inputs, oceanographic influences, and the spreading of debris leading to great temporal and spatial litter loads variability in the marine environment [8, 22].…”

Marine debris is widely distributed at the coastal area of the global oceans; however, shipborne garbage source studies are still lacking to document the pollution in Malaysia Territorial Water. Thus, this study has adopted a standard method of beach marine debris survey at five beaches and inspected 115 vessels to assess the type and amount of debris from shipping source stranded on the beach. This study found that vessel visiting Malaysian ports observed the MARPOL 73/78 Annex V requirements; however, identified objects from shipping activity (1.3%; 2 items/km) found on the beaches indicate that there are vessels disposing of garbage illegally at sea. Therefore, there is a need to promote the use of biodegradable material and introduce environmental education to increase awareness on the vessel.

“…Marine pollution originating from various sources is increasing throughout the food chain due to the contamination of all living systems and its mitigation is of great importance for the sustainability of natural resources, protection of communities and future of society [1][2][3][4]. A series of measures and decisions are taken in many countries under the coordination of the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) [5].…”

A B S T R A C TThe establishment of adequate waste reception facilities is a necessary step to reduce and eliminate ship-generated pollution. This study aims to evaluate the performance efficiency of the Martaş Port Waste Reception Facility (WRF) Treatment Plant as well as to determine whether the quality of effluent complied with the discharge standards/criteria to the seawater, the receiving environment. This plant is one of the predecessors among the mid-scale and multifunctional WRFs in Turkey. Samplings both in the influent and in the effluent of the WRF were analyzed monthly between September 2009 and April 2010 for pH, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), oil and grease, total phosphorus (TP), metals (As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn), and total petroleum hydrocarbons, considering the pollution parameters stated in the Turkish Water Pollution Control Regulation (TWPCR). On an average, the removal efficiency of the treatment plant was found to be 98% for total petroleum hydrocarbons, 86% for TSS, 80% for BOD, 79% for oil and grease, and 75% for COD. The effluents of the WRF exceeded the discharge standards of the receiving environment that were stated in the TWPCR standards for TP and the German and the European Commission Directive 91/271/EEC standards for COD and TP. On the other hand, the Cr concentrations of the effluents exceeded only the British standards.
