Heraklion Port Authority Signs Waste Management Contract with HEC for Sustainable Operations
Heraklion Port Authority has signed a contract with HEC for liquid waste management, enhancing its green port strategy. This partnership supports compliance with environmental regulations and improves the port's infrastructure.

Heraklion Port Authority has formalized an agreement with HEC for the specialized management of liquid waste from vessels. This contract aims to fortify the port's environmental protection measures and aligns operations with national and European pollution prevention regulations.
The initiative involves the collection, transportation, and treatment of oily residues, ensuring that waste is recycled rather than discarded, contributing to a circular economy model. The authority anticipates improved water quality, enhanced biodiversity protection along Crete's coastline, and better environmental performance indicators. This move positions Heraklion as a leader in sustainable port management in the Eastern Mediterranean, potentially attracting international shipping interests.
