Reducing leakages of nutrients in ports

Eutrophication and ports

An excess of nutrients causes eutrophication which is the single biggest environmental threat to the Baltic Sea. Nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, leak to the sea from agriculture, wastewater, mineral fertilizers and other sources. This video shows how ports can reduce this leakage by their handling of dry bulk mineral fertilizers when loading and unloading.
