Whether sailing a small sailing yacht or operating a large commercial vessel, all will generate waste of some kind, whether it's kitchen waste, sewage, oil, chemical or cargo residues.
These have to be disposed of in a way that will not pollute our rivers and seas. The Marpol 73/78 Convention governs the safe and responsible disposal of this waste and the Merchant Shipping (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations requires all ports,
terminals, and marinas throughout the UK to produce a plan detailing how they organise and provide port reception facilities for Marpol designated waste.
Subject to planning and all other relevant consents being in place, Greenhithe Marina will be bound by law to supply waste bins for refuse. Under these regulations, Greenhithe Marina will be required to prepare a waste management plan for approval by the local office of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). The plan will provide details on how the Marina intends to organise and provide for marina waste reception facilities. The plan will be developed in consultation with marina users and in full cooperation with local operators and organisations and is reviewed every two years.
It should therefore be evident that Greenhithe Marina can readily be serviced by River, hence reducing the need to provide these essential services and others by road.
