Waste management
Submit a notification of ship-generated waste 24 hours before arrival
The Port of Kalajoki follows the NSF (No Special Fee) system, which means that ships can discard their oily liquid waste, toilet waste and solid waste at the port for no extra charge. However, these do not include tank and cargo space cleaning waste, international food waste, exhaust pollution reduction waste and other waste not resulting from the normal operation of the ship. Please note: We only accept oil waste during office hours between 7:00–16:00. At other times, such waste is accepted only by agreement.
By agreement and through the ship’s agent, we can transport the following away by tanker truck:
- dirty ballast water
- tank cleaning waste
- sludge and
- mixtures containing oil.
Submit a notification of ship-generated waste at least 24 hours before the required handling time
Rubbish and other waste must be taken to the sorting points at the waste station located next to the quay ramp (see port area map).
A ship arriving in port must submit a notification of ship-generated waste in the Portnet system at least 24 hours before arriving at the port of entry. If the travel time is less than 24 hours, the notification must be submitted immediately upon departure from the previous port or when the next port of call is known. This advance notification will allow us to organise the necessary waste collection equipment to receive waste from the ship in a timely manner.
