The aim of the agreement is to protect the marine environment by monitoring three criteria: the quality of domestic water, the quality of rainwater, and the quality of water produced by manufacturing processes.
To date, Dunkerque-Port has signed nearly 50 agreements with the companies installed on its territory, each of whom undertakes to treat the water before it is released and to communicate the results of sampling at the works outlet.
The agreements form part of the “Sustainable Development” section of Dunkerque-Port’s strategic plan which includes anti-pollution measures, the safeguarding of water quality, the protection of the coastline, and the preservation of biodiversity. This agreement was signed in the presence of Stéphane Raison, Planning and Environment Director at Dunkerque-Port, and Denis Chevé, General Director of BEFESA ZINC
