The Port of Belfast is committed to ensuring that waste is managed in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner, and that Port Users are aware of their legal obligations.

In 2003 new legislation was introduced which made several significant changes to how vessels using UK ports manage and dispose of their waste. These changes include the requirement that vessels provide Port Operations with prior notification of their onboard waste and what they plan to discharge in port.

To help Port Users comply with the new port waste regime, the Port of Belfast has provided a number of online documents including the Port’s:

• Information for Users booklet
• Waste Reception Facilities location map
• Waste Management Plan
• Waste Notification Form
