Reception and treatment of MARPOL waste

Eco-Oil is the only hazardous waste facility in Portugal operating a maritime terminal for private use, where receives MARPOL wastes – annexes 1 and 2.

Eco-Oil´s terminal has high tankage capacity and reception, and enables the reception of 12500 m3 in a single daily operation (equivalent to 500 road tankers).

In Portugal, the terminal of the Eco-Oil is the only unit accepted by customers with high safety standards such as Shell, and an European reference for the reception of oily waste with flash point below the safety level 65 ºC.
Without restrains regarding the flash point and high reception capacity, the terminal is still sought internationally to perform sludge discharge operations and also cleaning holds of vessels.

Eco-Oil collects, through mobile means, waste in other terminals in the ports of Setúbal.
