Packaging, plastics, metals and hazardous materials all require experienced management.

Shipowners and operators often view dry waste handling as a series of discrete tasks: collection, segregation, storage, and disposal. But this fragmented approach misses a critical truth - effective dry waste management at sea is not about isolated components, but how they work together. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and experienced system integrators are the linchpin to making it all work.

Yet as the maritime industry navigates increasingly complex environmental regulations, dry waste management represents more than operational efficiency. It's a crucial component of genuine environmental stewardship that often receives less attention than the current focus on decarbonisation. While the industry rightly concentrates on greenhouse gas reduction,

Sweden’s Minister of Civil Defense, Carl-Oskar Bohlin, and the Swedish Coast Guard are reporting that surveillance efforts detected a crewmember dumping trash into the Baltic.

A Coast Guard aircraft on a routine patrol detected the offense. When asked how much, a spokesperson said it was enough that they could see it from the air. It was described as ordinary household trash, with the Coast Guard emphasizing it was not a discharge

The chase continued to

Este ano, non. E, case que seguro, o ano próximo tampouco: Donald Trump chorará unha outra vez amargamente a perda do premio Nobel da Paz por segundo ano consecutivo, debido a que as tropas do seu amjgo Netanyahu non deixan de matar nenos palestinos cando viaxaban nun minibús cara a súa casa no barrio gazatí de Zeitún. Entre as 11 vítimas (todas elas membros dunha familia) figuran sete cativos. Todos foron acribillados no día que se cumpriu unha semana do alto o fogo nos ataques israelís á franxa de Gaza. Sete días que dejxan un balanzo de 38 gazatís mortos e 143 feridos.  

Membros de Defensa Civil non foron quen de recuperar os corpos de dous dos sete
