Abstract: In this study, a review of the port services for the collection of MARPOL waste from ships in Spanish
commercial ports is carried out. In the first place, a characterization of the different Spanish ports is
made in terms of their dimensioning, establishing as indicators the linear kilometres of berthing and the
kilometres of railway service available to each port facility. Subsequently, an analysis of the situation
of the waste collection service is made, looking for the type profile of the contracting company. Finally,
trend models are developed to analyse the nearest future in terms of traffic and amounts of waste to
be managed and an analysis is established from the port, considered as the most basic level, to the
Autonomous Community, to end the analysis by coastal strips. North-Mediterranean-South differences
are recognized.
