Management of used fishing gear
Reuse
Delivery: Notification procedures: Fishing vessels message the HM(Habour Master) prior to arrival. The Waste disposal area is clearly marked with signage in place. Access is gained via Harbour Staff. General Waste and recycling waste is deposited by port users directly into wheelie bins located on-site. Discarded nets are given separately to the harbour staff as they damage bin lorries. Ship-Generated Waste: The harbour management arranges collections of ropes, netting, fish boxes and other ship-generated waste in a 14CY skip by Starrus Eco Holdings T/A Greenstar. There is a forklift & teleporter for use on the harbour.
Recording fishing related waste delivered by ships: A waste management spreadsheet containing details of types/quantities of waste is updated, maintained and saved in the SFAD folder. Receipts are electronic and kept for a minimum of 3 years for all waste as per S.I No.117, 2003
Pre-treatment : non- available.
Type of Waste collected that has a recovery system: General recycling, paper, cardboard, plastics, glass., Waste Oil, Metal and Rubber is reused.
Fishing gear: Nets and rope end up in the general waste stream as there is currently no recovery system for them. There is an enclosed PRF. There is a dedicated area (not enclosed) for storing nets not in use, some of these nets are potentially at their EOL. Harbour Master’s budget from DAFM, funded by the rates and charges order 2012 paid by fishermen.
Passive fishing for litter
Current pratices
• When landed ashore waste goes into designated FfL tonne bags on the port. Then it is recorded by weight and this information goes to BIM. • Some characterisation surveys have been carried out by BIM in the past. • Waste is then emptied into a designated FfL skip which goes to general waste once full. • In 2023 – 12.9 tonne of PFW was collected
