ASCO discloses the volume of transferred waste for the past year
ASCO continuously takes measures to minimize the potential environmental impact of both vessel operations and shore-based facilities, including reducing waste and emissions. Accordingly, necessary preventive measures are systematically implemented.
Throughout the past year, these efforts continued. Various liquid and solid waste generated from vessel operations and shore-based facilities were transferred to certified organizations under relevant agreements and removed from the sites.
