A few months ago, EUROSHORE became MARINE CARE ASSOCIATION. This is more than just a name change — it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the association: internationalisation. While ship waste collection and treatment remain local activities, they must be approached with a global perspective. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel each time; instead, we share knowledge, best practices and promote this vital work for both the maritime industry and the environment.
On 15th October, Marine Care Association held its General Assembly in Ensenada (MEXICO). Members got the opportunity to visit the facility of our member Maritime Procurement Services. Many thanks to Alejandro Trillo Menchelli for welcoming us, to Juan Carlos Trillo for organising our venue and to all team for its involvement.
Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to Eric Wolff, NCL Environment Manager, for joining our meeting and sharing insights on how Norwegian Cruise Line manages the packaging of its solid waste. This dialogue with the shipping industry is vital to understand challenges of each other. This give a unique opportunity to develop solutions and work better.
