TBT CLEAN<br />
Introduction<br />
The Europe<strong>an</strong> Commission has funded through the Life-Environment program a project<br />
called TBT CLEAN. This project is being carried out by the Antwerp Port Authority<br />
together with several partners. Within the framework <strong>of</strong> this study, the effects <strong>of</strong><br />
Tributyltin (TBT) present in the bottom <strong>of</strong> navigation ch<strong>an</strong>nels are being investigated, e.g.<br />
when the sediments are dredged. Moreover, existing <strong>an</strong>d new cle<strong>an</strong>ing techniques <strong>for</strong><br />
dredged material polluted with TBT are evaluated.<br />
Survey<br />
Part <strong>of</strong> the survey also covers the comparison between TBT containing<br />
<strong>an</strong>tifoulings <strong>an</strong>d alternative marine paints. With this survey we would like to gather<br />
some practical in<strong>for</strong>mation on the vessels you build or do the mainten<strong>an</strong>ce <strong>of</strong>. If<br />
you would like to get more in<strong>for</strong>mation on the project or on the result <strong>of</strong> the<br />
questionnaire, please feel free to contact us: TBTcle<strong>an</strong>@haven.<strong>an</strong>twerpen.be<br />
The filling in <strong>of</strong> the following questionnaire will only take a few minutes.<br />
