ASPECTS OF REDUCING POLLUTING IMPACT OF SHIPYARDS ON THE KVARNER BAY

Four shipyards are located in the area of the Kvarner Bay, and they normally, at more or less regular intervals, perform the cleaning of ship hulls. Due to the lack of necessary financial means, these processes usually require the application of solid abrasives which, due to their characteristics, cause significant environmental pollution. This paper presents the impact of individual shipyards, with regard to the extent of given service--the treated area in squared meters, on the global pollution of the Kvarner Bay as well as preventive and recovery measures that are feasible on a local level with the aim of reducing pollution.
