Evaluation of waste management activities within the scope of sustainable environmental management at Tatvan Van Lake Ferry directorate Turkiye

With the development of technology in the 21st Century, changes have also occurred in the transportation sector. In recent years, transportation by ships at full capacity has increased the volume of maritime trade, causing unavoidable pollution in the seas. Today, maritime transportation is safe and encompasses various services and activities. Pollution caused by marine vessels is a significant concern for all over the world. In addition to this fuel costs were high because maritime transportation relied on simple, low-capacity vessels. The new vehicles used today pose a problem due to their low capacity. This article aims to identify the types and amounts of waste from new ships at the Tatvan Van Lake Ferry Pier and to develop strategies for transporting this waste to land within the framework of sustainable environmental management. The study suggests building a waste reception facility in the city to manage the waste generated by maritime activities.
