The increasing importance of renewable energy, the growing interest in systems with low carbon emissions, and the development of battery technologies in electric vehicles have increased the confidence and interest in electric vehicles. With the spread of electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations have started to spread around the world. As demand for charging stations increases, there is a greater need for equipment that supports faster charging at higher voltages and currents. Globally, the system of public charging stations for EV charging is on the rise and the energy sector is developing efforts to provide these infrastructures. In this context, our environmentally friendly Mersin Marina has two electric charging units of 120 and 22 KWH. Work is underway for additional charging units.
If the yachts want to discharge waste water, they can directly discharge their wastes into the sealed tank with the help of a vacuum pump in the technologically highly advanced automation system by approaching the fixed liquid waste station of our marina operation in accordance with the regulation on waste reception and waste control of ships. The wastewater collected in the sealed tank is then given to environmentally licensed companies for disposal. Motor oils, bilge oils, and liquid fuel wastes are stored in sealed containers, separately from other wastes and each other (hazardous waste can also be kept in a designated area in the temporary storage area) and given to environmentally licensed companies in the same way.
Mersin Marina has a specially designed "Waste Temporary Storage Area" and "Sorting Center". In these areas, recyclable wastes are sorted according to their categories by the licensed company and sent to the licensed waste recycling facility. Thanks to this activity, which is one of the steps of environmental sustainability, our business helps to protect natural resources and ensure economic production.
