The Huelva Port Authority has rectified material errors in the Particular Specifications Document for waste reception services (Resolution of 23 December 2025). The correction clarifies that hydrocarbon, chemical, and petrochemical terminals, shipyards, and naval repair facilities must provide reception services for cargo residues and ballast water (MARPOL Convention), either through their own means or via third-party contracts (Section II, Provision 4). Additionally, it specifies the application of collection fees for volumes of hazardous waste that exceed certain limits (Section V, Provision 20).
Owners of hydrocarbon, chemical, and petrochemical terminals, shipyards, and naval repair centres are obliged to guarantee the reception of waste and ballast water under the MARPOL Convention, choosing between self-management or third-party contracting (Section II, Provision 4). Stevedoring companies at public quays must also ensure this reception (Section II, Provision 4, paragraph d). Economically, the licensee's collection fees for MARPOL Annex V waste will also apply to volumes of hazardous waste exceeding the specified limits (Section V, Provision 20).
