EWMS provides a dedicated disposal service for expired marine pyrotechnics, helping vessels, maritime operators and boat owners arrange the responsible disposal of out-of-date flares and other marine pyrotechnic equipment.

Marine pyrotechnics are essential safety equipment used by vessels in emergency situations. However, once expired, these items require specialist handling and disposal due to the potential hazards associated with their pyrotechnic components.

Who is this service for?

EWMS offers marine pyrotechnics disposal services to a range of maritime clients in Gibraltar, including:

• Ship agents
• Merchant vessels
• Marinas
• Private boat owners
• Yacht owners and operators

Disposal Arrangements

EWMS organises planned disposal sessions for expired marine pyrotechnics, with arrangements made in advance to ensure the safe and coordinated handover of materials.

A disposal certificate is issued following completion, providing clients with documented confirmation that their marine pyrotechnics have been disposed of.
