As part of the Suez Canal Authority’s ongoing efforts to achieve environmental sustainability and reduce the ecological impact of maritime activities—and in alignment with its strategy to transition into a Green Canal by 2030—the Suez Canal Authority, in cooperation with ANTIPOLLUTION EGYPT, has launched a new service for the collection and management of solid waste from vessels, ensuring the highest service standards, as detailed below:
Solid Waste Collection and Management
This service will be provided by ANTIPOLLUTION EGYPT for all types of vessels, floating units, and small craft, whether transiting the Suez Canal, anchoring at the waiting areas located north or south of the Canal, or operating within any waters under the jurisdiction of the Suez Canal Authority.
Fees for Solid Waste Collection and Management:
- Mandatory Fees – Applied to all types of vessels and floating units, based on Suez Canal Net Tonnage.
- Additional Fees – Fees levied for the collection and management of solid wastes of volumes that exceed those aforementioned (included in the mandatory fees), as well as vessels, floating units, and small crafts, exempted from the aforementioned mandatory fees.
