Now and in the future, Åland wants to be able to invite all visitors to a clean and fresh nature with clear and wonderful water. All boats, regardless of size, are bound by law to empty their wastewater in tanks provided in the harbours. Emptying wastewater in the waters surrounding Åland is prohibited.
Recycling stations and wastewater tanks are provided in the guest harbours and service harbours in Åland.
