“…Whereas the identification of factors influencing the volume of generated oil and rubbish was made in the article (Pereza et al, 2017) unfortunately, e-waste has not been separated in the waste category. Its analysis shows that in most European ports there is a uniform waste reception tariff based on ship size, and other factors influencing waste generation are therefore examined.…”

Purpose: The article presents the issue of the e-waste management on seagoing ships. Characteristics of ship-generated waste in accordance with the international classification in force and the new category (e-waste) was defined in the first part of the article. Furthermore, the principles of its management were analysed in the context of the adopted amendments to Annex V of MARPOL 73/78. The objective of the article is to develop a preliminary concept of the e-waste management model on a seagoing ship, considering the annual variation of ewaste occurrence on ships. Design/Methodology/Approach: The conducted research allowed to develop a concept of the e-waste management model on seagoing ships. The presented model was developed based on available data from both seagoing ships and selected EU ports. The universal character of the model will allow for its wide application and the implementation of its individual stages will ensure appropriate supervision and increase the efficiency of the whole process. Findings: Identification and compilation of the issue of the e-waste management on seagoing ships. The universality of the model allows for its wide application and implementation of its individual stages, both on seagoing ships and in seaports. Practical Implications: A natural consequence of the model will be the implementation of measures which should be predictable to reduce the risk of undesirable events resulting from bad e-waste management practices on seagoing ships. Originality/value: Indication of future research directions improving the functionality solutions on ships model according to the recommendations of the circular economy.

“…To prevent vessels to throw their waste to sea, European Directive 2000/59/EC establishes that all ships that stopover in European ports are obliged to deliver in port their waste on board of ships, except when they can prove they can store it until their following stopover port [14]. Based on the directive, the ports should also set their waste tariffs based on the vessel size, and not the actual amount of the waste, and therefore the waste tariff should be the same whether the vessels deliver waste or no to port [15]. However, based on study funded by European Maritime Safety Agency, different European ports have different system even inside one country.…”

The main objectives of the EU transport policy belongs the limitation of the negative environmental impact from ports. Similarly, companies are adopting sustainable supply chain management practices to response the policy makers’ and consumers’ demands for sustainable operations. This paper aims to discover how the largest European container ports communicate about their efforts to improve the sustainability of their operations to find out how the ports themselves see their position as a part of transition towards more sustainable supply chain operations. Based on the study, different large European container ports consider environmental issues variously. The risk is that some ports may get competitive advantages by slipping in the environmental questions. Alternatively, if the port does not take sustainability questions seriously and it gets a bad reputation, the risk is that the customers and consumers do not accept the behavior of the port and shipping companies start to avoid that port.

“…It should be emphasised that planning, steering, execution and control of logistics waste management processes are very important from the environmental and economic perspective (Deja et al, 2018;Pereza et al, 2017). The Port Community System (PCS) is a solution which enables coordination across all these processes, and most importantly, supports maritime administration authorities in supervision over waste streams moving between ships and places of final destination.…”

Purpose:The main objective of the paper is to present the possibilities of using the Port Community System (PCS) as an integrated IT system in the area of ship-generated waste management in the context of sustainable circular economy in seaports. Project/methodology/approach: The research carried out enabled the development of a model for ship-generated waste management in seaports using the PSC IT system. Such measures should contribute to the protection and improvement of the status of the environment, as well as result in measurable economic benefits in the future. Findings: The PCS IT system presented in this paper enables sustainable waste management encompassing the circular economy approach. This platform optimises, manages, automates and improves the performance of a range of port processes through a single submission of data, connecting them in a coherent system and reducing the administrative burden. Practical Implications: The PCS-based module to ship-generated waste management have been identified a continuous ship monitoring with regards to waste, provision of thorough control over waste movement (system tightening up), transparent information overview (permanent view of all activity stages). This interactive collaboration tool allows for optimal cooperation between port companies and European Union seaports. Originality/value: Considering the concept of circular economy, which offers a great opportunity to improve business processes, a waste management model with the PCS may serve as the basis for the development of logistics chains for waste and for the elimination of undesirable incidents caused by poor management practices with respect to ship-generated waste and cargo residues in ports.
