Lamor and its strategic partner Greenflow have completed Bangladesh’s first MARPOL-compliant Port Reception Facility (PRF) at Mongla Port, marking a significant milestone in Bangladesh’s maritime environmental protection efforts.

The MARPOL solution delivered by Lamor and Greenflow included a Port Reception Facility, a collection vessel and two modern oil-spill-response (OSR) vessels and associated equipment, and extensive training and capacity-building for the local teams – creating an integrated capability for waste management and pollution preparedness, enabling Mongla Port to receive, treat, and dispose of oily residues, sewage, and solid waste in accordance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). It features advanced reception and treatment systems, biotreatment units, and an on-site incineration process for non-recyclable materials. Treated water meets European discharge standards, helping protect the surrounding Sundarbans World Heritage Site.

“This joint project has shown how environmental responsibility and port competitiveness can go hand in hand,” said Johan Grön, CEO of Lamor Corporation. “Together with Greenflow and the Mongla Port Authority, we have delivered a complete integrated solution that spans waste reception, treatment, and oil-spill response. The experience and cooperation model developed in Mongla also enable us to support other ports preparing for similar facilities around the world.”
