AASTMT Recycling Program

Since 2019, AASTMT perceives the unfavorable effect of plastic waste, from creation through to removal. Plastic contamination can destructively affect Aquatic life, and the College is looking to diminish plastic use and wastage nearby. The accompanying activities have been received to advance this point with staff and understudies:

Single-use plastics in catering (food bundling, dispensable coffee cups, cutlery) have been supplanted with compostable catering supplies in all College food outlets to lessen plastic waste nearby.

Reusable cups are given to AASTMT staff during staff acceptances to decrease single-utilize dispensable cup wastage. These can likewise be bought from grounds retail outlets, and limits are offered to clients when reusable cups are used. Single-use cups cause an extra charge to urge a transition to reusable cups.

Conferencing and Occasions use reusable crystals to serve water, killing waste from recently used plastic-filtered water. The group also produces cleaned water nearby, further diminishing waste by evading the need to purchase indispensable water bundling. Water stations have been introduced all through the grounds for use by understudies and staff to support bottle reuse.

AASTMT intends to keep diminishing waste by investigating new items and administrations to help decrease plastic utilization and waste. To achieve this, AASTMT adopted a garbage segregation strategy and has distributed categorized trash bins on all its campuses; the following pictures are from the Abu-Qir Campus.

The College Regularly Represents Egypt In The Working Groups On Stock Assessment (WGSA) Of Demersal Species (WGSAD) And Small-Pelagic Species (WGSASP) That Are Organized By The General Fisheries Commission For The Mediterranean (GFCM), Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations

Since 2019, the recommendations of the WGSAs are being submitted to the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries (SAC), which collects and assesses information on catches, fishing efforts, fleet capacity, and other data relevant to the conservation and management of fisheries.

Then, the SAC adopts the assessment of the status and trends of relevant populations of living marine resources, ecosystems, and fisheries-related human components, using the appropriate indicators and in relation to agreed biological and/or management reference points. In addition, A provision of independent advice made by the SAC to facilitate the adoption of recommendations concerning the sustainable management of fisheries and ecosystems at the regional and subregional levels, including relevant biological, environmental, social, and economic aspects, the ecosystem approach to fisheries, the impact of IUU fishing and the assessment of biological and ecological implications under different management scenario

MARLOG 12.    12^th -14^th March 2023

The world is facing continuous and different types of challenges, either natural crises such as climate change and other natural hazards that exacerbate climate change or manmade challenges such as conflicts between nations and countries, conflicts in interests between stakeholders, and the rapid changes in types and sizes of vessels and products and size of trading between countries. These challenges are growing and accelerating with time and driving the world to go through critical stages in the global economy in general and port and supply chains, which drives strongly to search for innovative and effective solutions to face the challenges and ensure the continuity of maritime transport and port productivity and 

competitiveness.

The crises and challenges during the last few decades led to negative consequences on the global economy and particularly a huge impact on supply chains, logistics, and ports, which emphasize the importance of adopting integrated solutions and applying effective measures to adapt to such challenges and rational risk management. Furthermore, the challenges facing the world reflect the significance of implementing resilient strategies that ensure the ability to sustain logistics business and port services efficiency.
The mitigation of different crises can be achieved through different aspects and one of these aspects is modern technologies and promoting innovation. Relying on modern technologies and promoting innovation are the key drivers for achieving a resilient future for ports and the logistics industry. This requires synergies between decision-makers, academic researchers, stakeholders and the whole port and logistics community. It also requires effective communication, exchange of knowledge and best practices.
MARLOG 12 sheds light on the importance of innovation, modern technologies, and their role in a sustainable, resilient future for the port community and maritime industry.
