Reception facilities for ship waste
Ports of Stockholm handles many different types of ships at both public and industrial quays. This places demands on special adaptations of waste reception facilities.
The fixed reception stations are available 24 hours a day for customers. Questions and error reports are taken care of by the Port and Traffic Control.
Merchant ships must notify in advance which waste they want to leave. Fees for regular waste delivery can be found in the price list and some other information can be found in Ports of Stockholm's Port Regulations and Ordinance. The form and links can be found here
