Opinion: MarinFloc Co-Founder Calls for Essential Maritime Waste-Management Training
In my 30 years in the industry, I have witnessed firsthand how waste handling on ships remains one of the most underestimated challenges in maritime operations. The problem is not a lack of care—officers and crew members do not want to pollute the oceans.

However, at the core of all these problems is a fundamental lack of knowledge and training.
Evac Group: Dehydro Meets Waste Management Needs of Smaller Vessels
Evac Group, a leader in sustainability technologies and solutions, has launched Dehydro, an onboard waste management system designed to meet the specific needs of smaller vessels. Traditional onboard waste systems typically require high volumes of wet waste to be cost-effective, which makes them impractical for smaller vessels. The Dehydro system, using dehydration technology, makes onboard waste treatment viable for smaller ships, reducing the need for overboard discharge or costly offloading to land-based facilities.
