Ships waste declaration

Do you have ship-generated waste on board, such as oil residues, cardboard or empty bottles, and are on your way to Port of Antwerp-Bruges? Then, as a shipping company or shipping agent, you are required to make an accurate declaration of all ship-generated waste to the Harbour Master's Office 24 hours before arrival. 

How does it work?

You can easily submit the declaration through APICS, a free web application provided by Antwerp-Bruges Port Authority. After registration, you as shipping agent or shipping company quickly and conveniently enter all necessary data here. Once the ship-generated waste declaration is completed, you pay a mandatory waste fee for each ship.  

 

Firms not yet able to transmit electronic declarations or data can use Port+. It can help you digitally submit the necessary declarations. Learn more at www.portplus.be
