The ports’ reception facilities for

The ports’ reception facilities for garbage and oily waste in large ports such as the Ports of Busan and Incheon have been installed by private companies. However, such facilities have been installed by the Korea Organization of Environment Management (KOEM), a government-owned and managed organisation, in small ports in Korea. There are 45 oily waste cleaning companies in the Busan Port, of which 22 companies also can clean oil spilled at sea. There are recommended prices for reception of oily waste; however, the private companies are competing for business of reception of oily waste. Between 2007 and 2009, a total of 107.6 million litres of liquid oil waste and 52.6 million litres of solid oil waste were collected from vessels in the Busan Ports.
