The ESPO Environmental Report 2018 (European Sea Ports Organization) continues to classify air quality as the main priority in the environmental management of European ports, a position that it has maintained since 2013.
Aware of this, the APB has been working intensely since the year 2016 to know the level of air quality of its ports, as well as the possible relationship with the port activity that takes place in them, in alignment with the Environmental Policy of the APB.

We’re analysing the case study about how Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer technology was installed at a hidrocarbon and chemical tank storage terminal at the port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, for the abatement of odours and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), with the result of the reduction below the values permitted by authorities.
The 6th meeting of CEN/TC 264/WG 2 took place online from the 6th to the 8th of April. This meeting was organized after the cancellation of the meeting in Delft, The Netherlands due to Covid-19 impact. There were three days altogether from 9:00 to 13:00 dealing with the comments sent by the experts of the member states to the group. Now the draft is one step closer to be ready.
