Some environmental aspects of ship repair work on floating docks – management of wastes

Abstract

This paper contains summary of investigations and analyses performed by Institute of Environment Engineering Systems, Warsaw University of Technology, in the area of management of the wastes produced in the course of ship repair work on floating docks. During the investigations carried out in Gdynia Naval Shipyard, were determined substances which qualitatively characterize selected wastes (in their original form as well as their water extracts), and amount of the wastes of basic groups, produced during floating dock service and repair and modernization work carried out on it, was estimated. Recommendations for waste managing on floating docks are presented, including possible ways of utilization of the wastes as well as their final usage (recovery and/or neutralization).
