TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 3THE SUBJECT OF THE RESEARCHThe project research was related to the solution <strong>of</strong> an urgent problem <strong>of</strong> the pollution <strong>of</strong> The Danube, the Sava <strong>and</strong>the Tisa water streams by ship waste matters (solid waste <strong>and</strong> waste waters).The aim <strong>of</strong> the project research was the model development for the problem solution <strong>of</strong> ship exploitation wastematters in terms <strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> a universal, integrated model for the <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> the abovementioned waste matters in real time <strong>and</strong> space along the navigation corridors <strong>and</strong> in the river bank areas tomeet the needs <strong>of</strong> the River Information Service (RIS), which, as far as we know, has not been developed, so far,nowhere in the world.In order to implement this task it was necessary to carry out numerous activities in the field with the aim <strong>of</strong>collecting the data important for the projects, in order to make the appropriate data bases, knowledge bases <strong>and</strong>model bases, as a basis for the development <strong>of</strong> a s<strong>of</strong>tware application for the sake <strong>of</strong> <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> navigators’activities <strong>and</strong> other entities in the chain <strong>of</strong> waste treatment, from the place where the waste is made to the place <strong>of</strong>its treatment or disposal, including the activities in case <strong>of</strong> accidents.RESEARCH FINDINGSDuring a two-year research in the field <strong>of</strong> scientific achievements in this area <strong>and</strong> the fieldwork research, data havebeen collected which helped us create the needed data bases, as a prerequisite for the establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>management</strong>system <strong>of</strong> waste matters from both vessels (ships) or floating facilities.Database that is important for ship waste substances <strong>management</strong>Law regulations baseThe Law regulations base contains the international regulations (conventions <strong>and</strong> EU directives) <strong>and</strong> national acts <strong>of</strong>law referring to waste <strong>and</strong> hazardous substances <strong>management</strong>. For the needs <strong>of</strong> the developed model, an algorithm<strong>of</strong> relevant, international regulations has been made (EU directive on hazardous waste, <strong>transport</strong> regulations, wasteexport <strong>and</strong> import, special waste regulations <strong>and</strong> waste treatment regulations) shown in Figure 1.Database <strong>of</strong> infrastructural resourcesOne <strong>of</strong> the necessary bases for the establishment <strong>of</strong> ship waste <strong>management</strong> model is the infrastructural resourcesdata base. For that reason the data on the port fixed facilities, the machinery <strong>and</strong> equipment for the waste acceptance<strong>and</strong> processing were collected. The analysis has shown that our ports <strong>and</strong> docks do not possess the adequateequipment for the vessel waste <strong>management</strong>, ordered by MARPOL convention 2 .The international organization IMO has made a list <strong>of</strong> devices which a port should have for the above mentionedpurpose. Besides, IMO 3 has prepared the Instructions for the adequacy <strong>of</strong> waste acceptance equipment in a port.MEPC 4 has ordered a form <strong>of</strong> equipment inadequacy for the acceptance <strong>of</strong> ship’s waste which is filled in by ship<strong>of</strong>ficers if the equipment does not meet all the measures <strong>of</strong> the environment protection during the waste transfer in aport.The contents <strong>of</strong> this st<strong>and</strong>ardized form have been made pursuant to Act 4, Article 3 <strong>of</strong> the Directive 2000/59/EU 5 .Ports <strong>and</strong> docks which will be given a right to accept international vessels’ waste, have to be equipped with theordered devices for dealing with waste treatment with minimal impact on the living <strong>and</strong> working environment.
