Out of the seven cruiseship berths in Tallinn, there are five (1, 24, 25, 26, 27) with fixed wastewater reception facilities and two (8 and 17 for smaller ships) where the reception is provided by trucks. Each point can handle 80m3 to 200m3 per hour with total capacity in the Old City Harbour being 1,000m3 per hour. The trucks can handle 30m3 to 50m3 per hour. All the waste goes to the municipal wastewater treatment plant in the city.

There is no extra fee for the fixed reception facilities but where trucks are used, there is a payment for wastewater quantities exceeding 7m3 which is made in accordance with the quantities discharged and the prices charged by the waste-handling company.

There are plans for a fixed wastewater reception facility to be installed at pier no 17 in the Old City Harbour by 2019.

Tallinn

Estonia is situated in Northern Europe, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, neighbouring Finland, Sweden, Latvia and Russia. Estonia is known above all for its beautiful capital of Tallinn. It’s no use hiding the fact: Tallinn is Northern Europe’s oldest capital city. Tallinn’s marvellous Old Town is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The unique value of Tallinn’s Old Town lies first and foremost in the wellpreserved completeness of the medieval milieu and structure, something that has been lost in most other northern capitals. The web of winding cobblestone streets and properties, which date from the 11th to 15th centuries, are preserved nearly in its entirety. All the most important state and church buildings from the Middle Ages have been preserved in their basic original form, as well as many citizens’ and merchants’ residences, along with barns and warehouses from the medieval period.
