Ports and Marinas

Odours arising in ports and marinas can be related to many odours, including:

Fuel stations, leakage and fuel type
Waste disposal and haulage
Odorous cargo
Accidental spills
Marine life and decaying matter
Adequate filtration and mitigation of emissions from vessels

These types of odour tend to be unpleasant and fairly intense, raising the importance of good management practices and abatement techniques.
