Environmental ReportPresentation

Presentation The Port Authority develops its activity in a firm framework of commitment to the protection of the natural environment, the prevention of climate change and the quality of life of citizens.

From this perspective, the Port Authority introduced in 2011 an Environmental Management, and Occupational Health and Safety Integrated System, in accordance to the reference standards UNE-EN ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 in 2011. Nevertheless, the Port Authority already had a System of Quality Management in accordance to the Norm UNE-EN ISO 9001 since the last year. These management models provided the necessary balance between environmental protection, public welfare and economic development.

In 2016, continuing in this direction, the Port Authority obtained the PERS European certification (Ports Environment Review System). This certificate attests the recognition from the European Sea Ports Organization (ESPO) and its foundation EcoPorts to the environmental commitment of this institution.

With the acquired experience throughout the years and the evident benefits that these management standards contribute to developing its functions with sustainability criteria, the Port Authority has granted a significant boost to its management systems in 2017. This way, it has integrated both systems, expanded its reach and has adapted its protocols and procedures to the new versions of reference standards, which are oriented in a greater extent to a model of Corporate Social Responsibility.

In response to the standards and requirements established by EcoPorts, the Port Authority presents this Environmental Report, which contains the highlights of its management in this matter and the results obtained in 2017.

Once again, the amount of goods handled this year in the Port of Melilla has surpassed the million tons, registering the highest record in its history.

From the beginning of this decade, the freight traffic of the Port of Melilla has had a growth trend, breaking record numbers year after year. Following this trend, 2017 has registered a new major landmark in spite of having a slight deceleration. This circumstance is mainly due to the conflictive situation in the border.

General Goods

The year 2017 has ended with a total of 1.061.000 tons of general goods handled at the port, which entails a slight growth of 0.09% in comparison with the previous year.

Most of the general goods received this year has been containers, comprising the 74.1% of the goods received. Nevertheless, these goods have suffered a decrease of 10.73% in comparison with last year, mainly as a consequence of the aforementioned political situation.

Environmental ReportEnvironmental Management of the Port Authority of Melilla

Environmental Management of the Port Authority of Melilla

The Port Authority of Melilla carries out its activity in accordance to the operating guidelines stablished in its Quality Management System, its Environmental Management, and Occupational Health and Safety Integrated System , which have been implemented according to the requirements of the reference framework standards ““UNE-EN ISO 9001:2008. Quality Management Systems. Requirements.”, “UNE-EN ISO 14001:2008. Environmental Management Systems. On Requirements with guidance for use” and “OHSAS 18001: 2007. Security and Health in the Workplace Management S. Requirements”.

Up to this moment, these systems were independent and with a limited scope. However, in 2017 the Port Authority integrated them, updating and adapting them to the new versions of the reference framework standards. The certification of this Integrated Management System is scheduled for 2018.

Following this trend, the Port Authority, motivated by its constant eagerness for improvement and innovation of new environmental projects, decided to obtain in 2016 the new environmental certification PERS (Porn Environmental Review System), promoted by the ESPO (European Organization of Maritime Ports).

Environmental ReportEvaluation of significant environmental aspects and impacts

The table below shows the environmental impacts that have been significant in 2017. This list is complemented with the “Registry of environmental aspects” created within the framework of PERS implementation (section 1.2).

Evaluation of significant environmental aspects and impacts The Port Authority annually carries a review of the impact associated to the environmental aspects derived from its activity. In this process, it applies the system established in its Documented Procedure “Evaluation of Environmental Aspects”. To that end, it includes in a matrix (“Environmental Aspects and Impacts Matrix”), the environmental aspects directly derived from its activity and those derived from activities that the Port has control and influence over (concessions, authorizations, third-party companies, suppliers, etc.). To assess environment impacts, the Port implements the criteria established in the Technical Guidelines “Criteria for the Evaluation of Environmental Impacts” of its Integrated Management System. This analysis is approached from a life span perspective.

Environmental ReportEnvironmental performance

26

Environmental performance In order to reduce the consumption of natural resources, the Port Authority performs actions that favor an efficient use of them. Furthermore, the Port conducts an annual balance of the consumption. The results obtained in recent years are described below:

In 2017, the Port Authority has registered an increment of water consumption, which has reached 5.892 m3. This volume has been mainly used for cleaning and maintenance tasks, as well as its consumption in offices. In order to reverse this situation, this institution has applied a system of measures.

Improvements in the water network supply to reduce loss and consumption.

- Improvements in the watering of green areas, using more efficient systems and planting species that require less water.

- Installation of segregated containers to better monitor the consumption and detect leakage.

Other measures: Campaigns to raise awareness among the staff members, regular monitoring of the consumption and the creation of good practice guides for the workers and users of the Port.

Air Quality Control

The Port Authority has not received any complaint

related to the quality of the air in 2017.



32

With the aim of improving the prevention and control of noise pollution caused by the Port´s activity, the Port Authority has developed in 2017 a “Strategic Noise Map” of the port facilities and a “Action Plan”. For this, it has relied on a specialized third-party company.

Noise

The main source of noise is the docking of ferries in the Ribera I dock. Of all of the rest of sound sources accounted for,

only the road traffic or the leisure activities are of some relevance, although,

in practice, they are masked by the noise is the docking of ferries.

Reduce the sound emissions of the most relevant source or its operative time in periods of greater sensitivity.

Determine a easement zone in which the Acoustic Quality Objectives would be dispensed. This would have to rely one the approval of the authorities of the Autonomous city of Melilla, since it affects the ordainment of the urban layout.

Suggested improvements of the “Action Plan”

Wastewater management

The infrastructures of the Port of Melilla are connected almost entirely to the municipal sewage network. For the areas not connected, the Port Authority relies on septic tanks. The wastewater from them are removed by a third-party company that is also in charge of its transfer to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR) of the Autonomous City of Melilla, where it receives its adequate treatment.
