30 September 2022
Harwich Haven Authority’s involvement with port waste management is confined to the following specific areas within its statutory area of jurisdiction:
- waste management facilities at two boat jetties (Ha’ penny Pier & Harbour Master’s Jetty)
- supervision of waste management in the local leisure and inshore fishing industries.
Should anyone have any concerns regarding waste reception facilities at the above locations please contact Harwich Haven Authority via [email protected]
All other berths, terminals, marinas and recreational clubs are operated independently and responsible for the preparation and submission of their own individual port waste management plans.
