Most waste problems start before the truck arrives: mixed categories, leaking drums or hazardous items that nobody labelled. Bodursan helps the crew prepare waste the way IMO guidance and Turkish port rules expect, then manages the transfer from ship to shore so it is safe, clean and fully traceable.
What we handle
- Segregation on board Advice to the crew on separating garbage categories and keeping hazardous items apart from domestic waste.
- Packing and labelling Suitable drums, IBCs and bags, marked so the receiving facility can accept them without delay.
- Hazardous and special waste Used batteries, paint and chemical residues, oily rags, filters, medical waste and expired pyrotechnics routed to authorised receivers.
- Safe transfer Crane or gangway transfers planned with the terminal, with spill kits and drip trays where liquids are involved.
- Traceability A record of every consignment from ship to facility, so the chain of custody can be shown during audits.
Why Bodursan
- One point of contact Your Bodursan agent books the reception, coordinates the port, the terminal and the contractor, and keeps the master informed, so waste never becomes a separate job for the ship.
- Planned around the port call Collections are timed to the berth window, bunkering and cargo operations so the vessel does not lose time alongside.
- Paperwork that survives an inspection Advance notifications, receipts and certificates are checked before they reach the ship, ready for Port State Control and vetting.
- Coverage across Turkey From the Tuzla head office we serve Istanbul, the Dardanelles, Izmit Bay, Yalova and the main Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.
