ReSource specializes in environmental monitoring for ship-sewage systems. A company specializing in the production of sewage systems in Germany engaged ReSource for a thorough examination of a cruise ship’s sewage system while it was docked in Reykjavík Harbor.

Recently, the company implemented a new sewage treatment system on the cruise ship. During routine inspections, they enlisted ReSource to collect sewage-water samples from various points in the sewer system, both before and after treatment. These samples were processed using standard methods and analyzed using professional measurement techniques.

This rigorous process confirmed the proper functioning of the system, ensuring that it was safe to discharge treated sewage from the ship beyond three nautical miles from the baseline of territorial waters. This discharge was in accordance with the approval of Icelandic authorities or similar authorities from another country.
