Abstract: Although regulated by international conventions and specific laws, disposal of garbage in the oceans is a major problems facing the world today. The pollution of the ocean generates environment effects many different areas of society. As an illustration, it represents a healthy risks and both direct and indirectly economic losses. The different types of solid waste produced by port's areas and vessels are potentially oceanic environment polluters. Nevertheless, international trades by sea are an economical need to Brazil's development. That is the reason why it is so important a manager has means to use all his capability to achieve proper management over waste, ie, an effective segregation and special disposal system. Also, given the collective need to ensure the common good, Brazil has specific legislation that requires operators and terminals to meet a set of rules called the "Best Practices in Sanitary Solid Waste Management," which is basically the process of!
environmental management of the material produced in the course of their activities. In other words, the Brazilian law requires carriers and port terminals to perform procedures for segregation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of solid waste in accordance with the guidelines laid down in legislation to protect the health and environment. However, few brazilian's ports have the technology required. This article presents a solution to allow identify, track and manage the solid waste produced while exercising activities in the port area.
