Presentation

In the year 2019, the Port Authority has conducted various innovative initiatives in the environment field integrated in its sustainable development policy, as part of the management strategy adopted years ago by this management body.

Among these initiatives, the LIFE REMoPaF project highlights. The Port Authority adhered to this project aimed at the recuperation of Patella ferruginea (an endangered species) in 2016. During 2019, the second transfer of specimens from the Port of Melilla to the Port of La Línea de la Concepción has been performed. The survival rate of recruits transferred between 2018 and 2019 has been verified in around 60%.

The Port Authority is also attached to the ANCHOR LIFE project for the mitigation of acoustic emissions derived from the Port activity. Within the framework of this project, and during the year to which this Environmental Report refers, a study is been conducted to rearrange the sources of noise, in order to minimise their impact in the surroundings. Furthermore, with the aim of minimising the acoustic pollution too, during 2019 the “Noise Strategic Map” and the “Action Plan” of the Port of Melilla have been approved.

In its bet to innovative projects, the Port Authority also participates in the CORE LNGas hive project, whose purpose is to promote the use of liquefied natural gas as main fuel for ships, due to its lower emissions of particulates and sulphur and nitrogen oxides. The Port Authority has performed technical studies on the feasibility of introducing this fuel in the City of Melilla for reducing the emissions during the local production of electricity, the mobility and the ships supply, by means of introducing a “LNG Small Scale” installation.

Also during this year, the Port Authority has worked in the additional documentation required for the processing of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Port of Melilla expansion project, being currently awaiting the Environmental Impact Statement on the part of the “Ministry for the Ecologic Transition and the Demographic Challenge”.

In this document, these and other additional measures developed by the Port Authority in 2019 are detailed. These measures reveal the effort dedicated by this body for the prevention and attenuation of the impacts derived from its activity and, in the end, for the preservation of its environment.

The Port Authority of Melilla The Port Authority of Melilla is a public institution that administers and manages the Ports of Melilla and the Chafarinas Islands, attached to the “Ministry of Transports, Mobility and Urban Agenda”.

Likewise, this body de jure dependent on the public entity State’s Ports has its own legal personality and wealth and possesses full ability to act. It is ruled by its specific legislation (Consolidated Text of the Law of the State’s Ports and the Merchant Navy, approved by the Royal Decree 2/2011, 5th September), by the provisions of the General Budget Law applicable and, additionally, by the Law 40/2015, 1st October, of Legal Regime of the Public Sector.

The Port Authority encourages the participation of private initiatives in the provision of the Port services and the operation of the Port of Melilla facilities, in agreement with the “European Policy of Transports” and complying with the profitability and efficiency criteria established.

The Port activities are thus conducted in a framework of public-private collaboration of free and faithful competition, using the synergies between both sectors to enhance the Port competitiveness.

The sheets of the licensing and authorisations emitted by the Port Authority pursuant to the provision of services in the Port establish the criteria, both operational and juridical, to demand to each operator. The Port Authority controls that the conditions of the sheets are respected, in a documentary level as well as on-site.

The services provided in the Port of Melilla, classified regarding the Consolidated Text of the Law of the State’s Ports and the Merchant Navy, are the following ones:

Freight traffic

The increase experienced in goods handled in the Port of Melilla since the year 2010 was truncated in 2018. This recession in the traffics was mainly due to the geopolitical enclave initiated this same year that resulted in the closure of the border on the part of Marruecos.

In this framework, in the year 2019 the total of goods handled in the Port of Melilla has maintained in very similar levels to those reached the preceding year.

Management of environmental aspects

Waste management

The maintenance and conservation tasks of the Port infrastructures, added to the administrative tasks performed at the offices, are the major waste generator activities of the Port Authority.

In addition to the waste associated to these activities, the Port Authority manages as own the waste from the cleaning of the common areas, the waste left in the service area and the waste from the premises of the Sports Port, the Commercial Port and the Fishing Basin, which are deposited in the waste facilities installed to that effect in the different Port facilities of the service area.

Moreover, the Port Authority assures the adequate management of the MARPOL waste from ships, in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Construction and demolition waste (kg)

During the year 2019, the Port Authority has performed an important cleaning action in its own storages, to proceed to their concession, as well as in the esplanade of the Nordeste III Dock for the execution of the Ro-Ro boarding area works. This initiative has resulted in an increase of the non-hazardous waste generated by this body.

The construction and demolition waste have also experienced a growth as a consequence of the rise of minor works undertaken due to the complexity of the contract law.

On the other hand, the Port Authority has been in charge of the management of the waste collected from the service area and the Port. In total, the hazardous and non-hazardous waste removed from the Port in 2019 rise to 22.214 kg and 14.060 kg, respectively.

“The works realised in the Nordeste III Dock have required the dredge of 2.500 m3 of category A material for the cement preparation. At the end of 2019, this material lays in this dock’s esplanade awaiting to be accepted by the regional government”

Waste facilities location

The Port Authority owns four waste facilities, located in the Sports Port, the Commercial Port and the Fishing Basin. Each one of them consists of containers for the selective collection of used oils, contaminated packages, contaminated filters and contaminated cloths.

To guarantee the adequate utilisation of the waste facilities, the Port Authority has published in its website the “Guidelines of use of waste facilities”, available to the Port Community.

The waste disposed in the waste facilities by the Port Authority’s staff or any other Port user are removed by an authorised manager, who is in charge of giving them an adequate treatment.

The installation of the waste facilities allows the upkeep of improving the waste segregation in the Port facilities, as well as reducing the presence of left waste in the service area.

“The new cleaning service sheet promotes the waste segregation in origin through the installation of a higher number of containers in the service area”

Air quality control

Emission focuses

The Port Authority does not provide any activity considered as potentially pollutant of the atmosphere. Its major emissions are associated to the engines of its vehicles, the vessels and the machinery it uses and, in a lower level, to the works accomplished and the traffic associated to their operability.

More noteworthy are the emissions caused by the activities of the rest of the Port Community, among which it is worth highlighting the ones associated to the ships and cruises moored and, specially, the ones derived from the industrial activity of several concessions, such as the plant of aggregates crushing and the thermal power plant of Endesa.

Control measures

The Port Authority closely controls the activities of concessions and authorisations. Furthermore, it possesses a “Procedure for the complaints and suggestions management in the Port of Melilla”, that has not registered any records during 2019 in relation to the quality of the air.

Additionally, the Port Authority participates in the project CORE LNGas hive, whose purpose is to reduce the atmospheric emissions derived from the maritime transport.

Implemented measures

Daily surveillance on the part of the Port Police

Direct surveillance of the operational control measures Increase of

surveillance cameras

Traffic rearrange in the Port accesses

CO2 atmospheric emissions

The Port Authority executes the preventive maintenance of the work equipment and facilities from which it makes use to provide its services, both with its own staff and with authorised maintenance companies.

The tons of equivalent CO2 emitted as a consequence of the development of the Port activity in the last years are shown below. In 2019, these emissions have experienced a decrease of the 17%, mainly due to the reduction of the energy consumption.

Noise control

Emission focuses

The acoustic emission sources present in the Port of Melilla are the following ones:

Moored ships; Industrial activity in concessions; Leisure premises; Lorries’ traffic; Movements in Ro-Ro terminals; Port machinery; Containers handling; Construction works.

The plant of aggregates crushing located in the restricted area of the Port has increased its activity and, therefore, its acoustic emissions. Nevertheless, there have not been complaints at this matter during 2019, as a result of the measures implemented in the last years by the Port Authority.

“In the year 2019 there have not been complaints related to the acoustic emissions in the Port of Melilla”

Control measures

In December 2019, the Management Board has approved the “Noise Strategic Map” and the “Action Plan” of the Port Authority of Melilla, established with the aim of minimising the repercussion of the Port sonorous activities over the citizenship.

The Action Plan comprises:

Time reduction of overnight stay in the Ribera I Dock;

Modification of mooring assignation.

Additionally, the Port Authority participates since 2018 in the European project ANCHOR LIFE, aimed at maximising the effort dedicated to the struggle against the acoustic emissions and the vibrations derived from the Port activity.

In the framework of this project, during 2019 a study has been conducted on the noise emitters focuses, in order to rearrange them, with the purpose of minimising their environmental impact.

“In 2019, the first Intermediate Meeting in relation to the ANCHOR LIFE project was held in Melilla”

The main spillage focuses in the Port, not directly related to the Port Authority’s own activity, are:

Illegal spillage from ships; Rain or irrigation runoffs; Accidental spillage during load and unload of liquid bulks; Construction works.

Sanitation network 85 % Septic tanks 15 %

Destination of sewage

Rainfall water collection 59 %

Service area provided with removal and treatment of rainfall water

Control measures

The Port Authority ensures that the main requirements applicable to its concessions are complied. During this year, it has been informed of the update of the “Integrated Environmental Authorisation” of one of them.

Other measures implemented by the Port Authority to control the spillages in the Port include:

Maintenance of the sanitation network;

Measurement campaigns of the Port water’s quality;

Surveillance on the part of the Port Police.

Additionally, in this year 2019 the Port Authority has imparted training on the action procedures established in its “Internal Maritime Plan” to cope with a marine pollution spillage. This training has been addressed to all the team that takes part in the emergency chart of the Plan.

“The new cleaning service sheet, that will come into effect in January 2020, includes the cleaning of the water sheet and the breakwater to remove the plastics and other waste that accumulate over it, with which it is expected that the Port water’s quality will improve”

Location of the sampling points

Water’s quality sampling campaign

The Port Authority of Melilla conducts the monitoring of its water’s quality by means of sampling in seven different points at a depth of 5 metres. In this year 2019, a multi parametric sensor has been used again to measure physical-chemical parameters (conductivity, pH, redox, temperature), turbidity, total suspended solids and dissolved oxygen.

Furthermore, an exhaustive control of the water’s quality during the execution of the works for the Ro-Ro boarding area in the Nordeste III Dock has been performed in 2019. This control has been conducted through two continuous measurers located at 150 and 300 metres from the spillage point. Additionally to those continuous measurers, a sampling campaign, based on the collection of samples at 50 and 100 metres from the activity developed, has been established. This campaign has allowed the measurement of physical-chemical parameters (conductivity, pH, redox, temperature, salinity), turbidity, total dissolved solids and chlorophyll-a.

Accidental marine pollution

The Internal Maritime Plan of the Port of Melilla, last updated in 2018, has obtained favourable previous report from the Maritime Captaincy, being currently awaiting the binding report of the Autonomous City and the corresponding approval of the Merchant Navy General Management.

This document describes the response operation before marine pollution situations and the inventory of means available to control the emergency situation.

The Internal Maritime Plan of the Port of Melilla has been activated twice in its “situation 0” in 2019, due to spillages that have been adequately controlled with the own means of the Port Authority. Likewise, other six marine pollution situations have occurred, but of so little size that they have been resolved without need of activating the Internal Maritime Plan.

Organisation of the environmental management In the environmental management conducted by the Port Authority of Melilla collaborate, in the scope of their applications, all the components of its staff, according to what is established in the procedures of its Integrated Management System. This is coordinated by the Division of Quality, Environment and Occupational Risk Prevention, that also performs the specific functions and protocols in the environment field.

The Division of Quality, Environment and Occupational Risk Prevention also benefits from the Surveillance Service and two workers attached to the Conservation Service to perform the environmental surveillance in the Port facilities. The information collected by these workers is complemented by the “Registry of responsabilities of the Port Authority’s staff”, in the framework of the PERS implementation.

Necessities and expectations of the stakeholders Aware of the context in which it operates (formed by people, companies and institutions that can be affected by its decisions and results), the Port Authority of Melilla assumes and integrates criteria and principles of Corporate Social Responsibility in its strategy.

In the aim of applying these principles and of encouraging the economic development of the City and the well-being of the citizenship, the Port Authority created a procedure to identify its “stakeholders”, as well as their necessities and expectations. For that purpose, it makes use of the following information sources:

The stakeholders are represented in the Management Board of the Port (in which the vocals represent the 71% of the members) and in other sectorial technical committees.

In the following pages, the necessities and expectations of the stakeholders (obtained from queries conducted during 2019) are presented.
