Waste generationA large variety of waste products are generated and segregatedon board for further onshore treatment, recyclingand disposal.The transportation of waste and its treatment and disposalresult in environmental impacts, which vary in sizeand nature depending on the disposal method.Implementing waste segregation at the source optimisespotential recycling and minimises the environmental impactsfrom waste generation. Waste segregation is performedat all Maersk Drilling and Maersk FPSOs’ installationsaccording to requirements from the customer andlocal rules and regulations.Waste products are generally divided in the two categories:hazardous and non-hazardous. The reported hazardouswaste comprises materials such as chemical and oilywastes, batteries and fluorescent light tubes or any otherwaste material harmful to human health or the environment.Non-hazardous waste comprises wood, plastics,scrap metals, packing materials, paper and cardboardmaterials, clothing, electrical components and other nonharmfulmaterials.

Therefore, back load is theleast environmentally friendly solution, even though theimpact is minor.Figure 13: distribution of waste generation 2007 – 2008.The period shows a moderately increasing recycling factorending at 33 % in the fourth quarter of 2008. Theyearly average has improved from 21 % in 2007 to 29 %in 2008.The volume of hazardous waste has decreased dramaticallysince Q3 2007 and has remained stable for 2008at a relatively low level, even with increasing productionlevels.It is noted that onboard segregation is undertaken inaccordance with client requirements which are tailoredfor local onshore recycling capacity and infrastructure.
