Starting from the factthat the research results in this field can hardly be found in the literature, in this paper, we will preset themethodology for conducting identification, classification and characterisation of the stated waste materialsfunctioning as safe multimodal transport which was developed during the realisation of a technologicaldevelopment project. The types of waste materials which are formed during the exploitation and maintenance ofvessels, their state of matter, a degree of danger to people and the natural environment, as well as a method oftreatment have been identified. An algorithm for a simpler connection between danger classes and danger categoriesand a risk range, i.e. a degree of danger, has been devised. Moreover, a method for labelling receptacles fortemporary storage on a vessel and a terminal for the reception of waste at the riverside, as well as containers fortheir transport by road and rail traffic, has been analysed, which contributes to an efficient and safe treatment ofwaste materials from vessels in multimodal transport. The results have been shaped into a set of original tables andalgorithms, formatted according to the requirements of the developed integrated model for managing wastematerials from vessels, and a software solution for managing their transport to final destinations for treatment anddisposal.Key words: vessels, waste, methodology, waste classification, characterisation, risk range, labelling, multimodaltransport of waste, tabulated items, algorithmsINTRODUCTIONCertain types of waste from vessels are treated at the very place of their development (in the engine rooms of avessel). Other waste materials, which are received at a harbour, quays or specialised terminals, undergo a furthertreatment or disposal. For that purpose, waste materials are transported to pre-determined destinations with adequateplants for recycling, incineration, temporary storage, waste composting, filtering of waste water or to depositingunits. In the literature, the aspects of identification and classification of waste materials formed in this way have notreceived due attention, together with labelling for the purposes of selecting and storage on a vessel itself and theirfurther transport by rail and road infrastructure.In this paper, we will present the results of the research conducted during the realisation of the technologicaldevelopment project TR 213037 1 , which provide a complete frame of the types of waste materials which aredeveloped during the exploitation and maintenance of vessels, state of matter, a degree of danger to people and thenatural environment, as well as a method of treatment. One of the significant research aims was the development of
