Proper Disposal of Environmentally Hazardous Waste

We comply with the environmental regulations with regard to the disposal of chemical waste and the discharge of sea water for cooling systems.

Chemical Waste Disposal

Stable and reliable air traffic control equipment are installed in our 13 equipment outstations to provide air traffic related services. When the normal city mains supply to these equipment is interrupted, the equipment will automatically switch to operate on alternate power supply including standby diesel generators and sealed-type batteries. These standby generators and batteries however will produce chemical waste such as engine lubrication oil and battery fluid, which are required to be properly disposed of.

Targets for 2002 and 2003

In the year of 2002, our maintenance contractor has handled the waste in accordance with the statutory requirements under the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation of the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Chapter 354 subsidiary legislation C). We will continue to supervise our contractor to ensure proper handling and disposal of chemical waste in the year of 2003.
