CIAN is joining Euroshore International as full member. This follows a decision of the board of Directors and an official announcement during the General Assembly of EUROSHORE INTERNATIONAL who took place today in Riga, Latvia.
“We are very pleased to welcome CIAN as a new member from Croatia. CIAN is our second member from that country. They collect all MARPOL waste in five major ports of the country, protecting a long coastline of almost 1800km with many islands. This makes them crucial for the protection of the Adriatic Sea. Euroshore promotes the best standards for port reception facilities and pay attention to involve only those having these best standards. CIAN is part of them, and I am confident that we can learn from each other for the benefit of our activity” says EUROSHORE President, Marga Hauttekeete.
“We are delighted to join the group. Euroshore is the only existing platform where port reception facilities can meet and learn from each other. It is very important for us to exchange on best practices and look for innovation to fulfil our task” says Matko Bašić, Sea Protection Director “I am looking forward to working with Matko and the team to make port reception activities better understood and recognised. Our members do a tremendous job not only in collecting waste, but also in treating it. It contributes to build a stronger circular economy, which everyday becomes a new frame of mind to face scarcity and energy independency” adds EUROSHORE’s Secretary General Sophie Delair.
EUROSHORE INTERNATIONAL gathers port reception facilities dealing with the collection and treatment of ship generated waste.

Port reception facilities contribute both to the preservation of the oceans and to the decarbonisation of the maritime industry. This makes them essential partners for the maritime sector.
This year, Euroshore International celebrates its 25th anniversary and takes the opportunity to welcome you and engage a dialogue during a one-day event to discuss how port reception facilities help more and more the shipping industry to reduce its environmental impact.
The IMO MARPOL Convention, celebrating this year its 50th anniversary, was created in reaction of major pollutions created by oil spill. Over the years IMO developed bans to discharge at sea to protect the environment and port reception facilities used to collect ships generated waste. Today, we face the emergency of preserving marine biodiversity and ecosystems and Euroshore International pleads for the application of a zero-discharge principle. To answer that principle, we need adequate port reception facilities to collect ship generated waste.
Over the years, many port reception facilities have moved from pure collectors to recyclers or waste recovering operators. By this mean they contribute to the decarbonisation of the shipping industry and became solution providers to shipowners and operators.
The event will be the opportunity to understand better the added value of port reception facilities for the maritime industry, what are the challenges they face and the solutions they propose to ports and shipowners to reduce their carbon impact.
We are looking forward to welcoming you very soon. Do not forget to register here.
Our event is now scheduled for 12th October 2023 in Brussels, and we hope to meet you all then.
Why should you attend?
Do you really know what is a port reception facility? How does it work? What are the challenges of the industry? Maybe not. And yet, they have a double role: they contribute both to the preservation of the oceans and to the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.
