Hazardous waste management is one of the most actual topics in port environmental management today, concerning the shipping and the dry side field. Ports provide the interface to the land waste management and disposal system for ships. Ship generated hazardous waste can refer to oily waste, chemical cargo residues, hazardous garbage from ship operating activities. In addition, on the dry side, ports comprise activities and operations from personal to industrial level, so various types of hazardous waste can be generated or to be subject of cargo transhipment. The paper aims to exchange and discuss the existing experience in hazardous waste management in port areas, presenting as a case study the port of Thessaloniki and its effort to manage in an integrated way the interface of hazardous waste within the port.
