No Single-Use Plastics
Together with our colleagues on- and offshore, we investigate and implement solutions to prevent the use of single-use plastics.
Prevention measures are classified as those that focus on smarter product use and manufacturing.
Reuse measures are classified as those that focus on extending the lifespan of products and parts.
“We are especially pleased to contribute to the circularity of the project by being the installation and removal contractor, which is in line with our own sustainable circular ambitions.”
Retain measures are classified as useful applications of materials at their end of life.
Waste management on board Heerema vessels is not only regulated by several MARPOL regulations, but also internal waste management procedures. In general, Heerema states that no garbage shall be discharged into the sea with the exception of food waste in accordance with the provisions of MARPOL 73/78 Annex V - Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships. No garbage shall be discharged into a treatment system unless such system is designed, constructed and approved for treating such garbage in accordance with the requirements of MARPOL 73/78 and pertaining Annexes and Guidelines. Garbage shall be separated, treated and packed as to allow further processing in accordance with sound environmental practice at a minimum of cost.
On board our vessels garbage is separated into the following categories according to MARPOL:
A. Plastics

E. Incinerator ashes
