Abstract:

In this paper we present the current situation related to the legislative framework on the definition of generated waste by ships in the field of maritime navigation and inland waterway navigation, their management on board ships, handover to port facilities and results in the development of proposals to support participants in the shipping activity in the field of pollution prevention of the Romanian Danube sector. The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the improvement of the current measures that are applied in the field of prevention of pollution of the Romanian Danube sector by ships.
