Marine Production and Repair, Environmental Impacts or Industrial Development

Like many other business, marine repair industry are faced with challenging environmental problem. For example, adverse adverse environmental impact can results from pollutants generated by marine operations such as maintenance and repair services. These typically include repair and maintenance of machanical systems, structural components, electrical systems and finished surfaces. Typical wastes generated from these operations include oils, coolants and cleaning agents (different types of chemicals, paints and coatings, sand blasting, polishing and refinishing operations atc.). This paper will provide an overview of the marine production and repair yards'wastes and their operation in relation to the pollution prevention opportunities concerning wastes minimization options. These opportunities will help developing industries in meeting their environmental responsililities. Specific environmental regulation and compliances suggestion can be directed to the Port and Shipping Organization (P.S.O) and ship building programs in Iranians coast.
