MedCruise Objectives
• Promote cruise destinations and ports in the Med and
adjoining seas.
• Collaborate on:
– Training
– Environment
– Policies & Operational issues
• Develop quality passenger shipping experiences:
– Preserve diversity and authenticity.
– Manage congestion

IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
What do Med ports do?
• We know that Environmental management is challenging but
essential (“licence to operate and to grow”)
• We work together and commit to actions
– Professional cooperation (The MedCruise Professional
Development Course)
– Assisting tools
– Proactive voluntary self-regulation
• Added value for both the sector and individual ports
• Trends provide inspiration for further improvement
Note: Environmental priorities
change over time

ASSISTING TOOLS:
INVOLVEMENT IN SUSTAINABLE
CRUISE RESEARCH
Med Cruise ports care:

Project Overview
Waste reception facilities
• MedCruise partnered with other actors to map the
existing waste reception facilities in Mediterranean
ports
• Cruise lines will soon know where and how they can
discharge waste
• Ports will learn which are the best practices
Why?
• Rules (MARPOL73/78
Annex V)
• Principles for waste
management
• Waste Hierarchy
INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
