TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 50We also took into consideration the fact that a rough classification <strong>of</strong> non-hazardous waste (litter/ utility waste) <strong>and</strong>secondary raw materials (paper, wooden panels, glass, waste plastic, metal etc) <strong>and</strong> hazardous waste should beconducted, <strong>and</strong> also to set the procedures for the treatment <strong>of</strong> all types <strong>of</strong> waste in the stage <strong>of</strong> temporary storage<strong>and</strong> to prepare appropriate receptacles with adequate labels for a fast delivery <strong>of</strong> waste to the expert teams inharbours <strong>and</strong> efficient preparation for different means <strong>of</strong> <strong>transport</strong> (road <strong>and</strong> rail).For that reason almost all types <strong>of</strong> waste materials from vessels have been identified, <strong>and</strong> the results <strong>of</strong> furtherresearch, gathered in accordance with the European <strong>and</strong> National Regulative, have been incorporated into theoriginally devised tables, which served as a basis <strong>of</strong> the proposed methodological approach for this stage <strong>of</strong> theabovementioned waste treatment.The tables include a sequence <strong>of</strong> the data on waste types from vessels <strong>and</strong> the labels for labelling waste on a vessel.Within the tables there are six-digit waste codes (EWC codes) from European 3 (<strong>and</strong> National 4 ) Waste Catalogue, thephysical condition <strong>of</strong> waste, together with possible methods for waste treatment (recycling, burning, biologicaltreatment <strong>and</strong> disposal). In normal functioning conditions <strong>of</strong> a vessel, <strong>and</strong> with an aim to meet the international <strong>and</strong>national regulation requirements, the tables should be supplemented with a column including a recorded amount <strong>of</strong>secondary raw materials <strong>and</strong> hazardous waste (for the sake <strong>of</strong> recording delivered amounts <strong>of</strong> waste in harbours).For the purpose <strong>of</strong> labelling waste receptacles or packing on a vessel itself, the symbols selected are beingreconciled between the experts <strong>of</strong> the sub-Danube countries 5 <strong>and</strong> the representatives <strong>of</strong> the European projectWANDA 6 at the Danube Commission Counselling 7 . The tables have not been presented at the stated counselling butthey are present on the Danube Commission website, <strong>and</strong> up to now there has been no negative response from thescientific or expert public. In the literature, there is no report with such a level <strong>of</strong> detailedness in the case <strong>of</strong> theclassification <strong>of</strong> waste material developed during the exploitation <strong>of</strong> a vessel, which leads to the conclusion that theexistence <strong>of</strong> such a comprehensive tabulated data illustration is justifiable, the data which is necessary for the stage<strong>of</strong> waste <strong>management</strong> on a vessel itself.Identification <strong>and</strong> classification <strong>of</strong> non-hazardous wasteThe waste without hazardous materials (non-hazardous waste) does not have a harmful effect on the naturalenvironment <strong>and</strong> people’s health.In Table 1, the results <strong>of</strong> a detailed identification <strong>of</strong> non-hazardous recyclable types <strong>of</strong> waste from vessels (wastepaper, plastic packing, metal packing, transparent <strong>and</strong> stained glass) have been summarised, wheareas Table 2includes the data on non-hazardous utility waste. Some methods <strong>of</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> certain types on a vessel 6 <strong>and</strong> afterthe reception in a harbour 7 have been suggested, as well as the labels for labelling the packing <strong>of</strong> certain groups <strong>of</strong>waste 6 .Identification <strong>and</strong> classification <strong>of</strong> hazardous wasteThe same methodology has been applied to the identification <strong>and</strong> classification <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste from theexploitation <strong>of</strong> vessels <strong>and</strong> the results are presented in Tables 3–3g. In the stated tables, the results <strong>of</strong> a detailedidentification <strong>and</strong> classification <strong>of</strong> the following types <strong>of</strong> waste materials from the exploitation have beensummarised: oiled <strong>and</strong> greased waste (sloughs, various waste oil <strong>and</strong> grease, liquid fuel waste, oiled filters, wastematerials from oil/ water separators on a vessel, oiled cleaning cloths, <strong>and</strong> the other problematic waste).Possible procedures <strong>and</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste processing from vesselsMore data on possible operations <strong>and</strong> procedures <strong>of</strong> processing certain types <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste from Tables 3–3g,varying according to the state <strong>of</strong> matter <strong>of</strong> waste, as well as the realised effects <strong>of</strong> the treatment, can be found inTable 4.
