Waste management
Svinninge Marina has long been a pioneer in environmental initiatives for recreational boat harbors, with waste management playing a key role in our efforts.
> We make it easy to dispose of different types of waste:
A recycling station is conveniently located at the marina exit. Multiple containers for boat maintenance waste are available in the winter storage areas. Small waste bins are placed at every dock and throughout the marina.
We have designed and built an environmental station that now serves as a model for others.
> Toilet tanks pump-out
There are three pump-out stations available at the marina, free to use for Svinninge Marina berth holders. For portable toilet waste disposal, a dedicated facility is available in the service building.
Eco-friendly hull cleaning
At Svinninge Marina, we offer a hull cleaning station where environmentally hazardous wash water is collected and treated. Consider skipping antifouling paint and using our hull cleaning service during the summer instead.
> Hull paint measurement using XRF
Svinninge Marina has acquired an XRF instrument to efficiently measure the presence of heavy metals and biocides in antifouling paints. XRF stands for “X-Ray Fluorescence,” a reliable and non-invasive method for identifying and quantifying metals in boat hull coatings. The instrument detects all common metals but primarily focuses on copper, zinc, lead, and tin. Measurements are taken at eight different points on the hull, and an average value is calculated to assess the composition of the antifouling paint. We can issue a certificate upon request, which can serve as proof for potential buyers or if required by a yacht club.
For more information or to schedule a measurement, please contact the harbour master office.
> Environmentally friendly hull paint removal
For those looking to remove antifouling paint, the most efficient and environmentally friendly method is indoor blasting. We have a purpose-built blasting facility that accommodates boats up to 16 meters in length. (Outdoor blasting is strictly prohibited.)
For inquiries regarding blasting services, please contact Plastskador och Montage AB.
Environmental regulations
Since welcoming our first boat, we have worked diligently to implement eco-friendly practices. Antifouling paints are becoming an increasing problem in both marine and freshwater environments, as well as in boat storage areas. It is crucial that we take immediate action to reverse this trend.
> Key regulations at Svinninge Marina:
> What would convince you to stop using toxic antifouling paint?
Would any of these options work for you? Together, we can reduce the use of toxic antifouling paints and protect our waters.
