Abstract: Everyday humans around the globe perform a series of activities that, in addition to the final product concerned, results in a significant number of solid waste, commonly called "junk." These solid wastes not treated to an appropriate final destination will be fatefully converted into pollutants causing a variety of environmental, economic and social problems. Particularly, the Brazilian legislation, in accordance with international treaties, adopted as one of the methods to prevent the realization of the potential damage of the waste generated on board the ship's obligation to deliver its solid waste to the administration of the local port. However, managing solid waste is still a challenge for Brazilian ports as most of them lack the means to make the classification, collection, treatment and final disposal of waste generated. It is therefore extremely necessary to invest in measures to manage the negative effects and prevent the realization of their potential en!
vironmental damage as well as combating illegal practices, such as smuggling and trafficking drugs. Though this can not involve undue delay to ships making use of their facilities.
