Dear boaters, captains, crews, professionals and shopkeepers,

Since the 1st of January 2024, the Law relating to the fight against waste and the circular economy (AGEC Law) makes mandatory the sorting of waste at source in order to recycle them.

The failure to comply with the sorting is punishable by an administrative penalty of up to 150 000 € (AGEC Law) and constitutes a criminal offence sentenced to a maximum of 2 years prison term with a fine of 75 000 € (Environmental Code).

In the Port’s rates, sanctions are also mentioned for any pollution, any damaging, or any defacement reported, with an amount of 1 000,00 € (including VAT) to the identified responsible or with actual reclamation costs if this one is higher than 1 000,00 € (including VAT).

For the well-being of everyone and the respect of Environment, we kindly invite you to check the map of the port mentioning the recycling locations below :
