BEEAH launches Marasi: a digital manifest platform for integrated waste management at ports

- MARASI utilises smart technology to provide improved visibility on incoming waste, contents of the waste, and to ensure proper processing and disposal

Sharjah, UAE: BEEAH Environment Services, the environmental consulting, research, and innovation business of Middle East sustainability pioneer BEEAH Group, announced the launch of MARASI, a new online platform that will streamline, track and profile different types of waste from ports.

MARASI is a complete solution that integrates all waste management requirements, from the point of arrival at the port, to transportation, and finally processing. The solution empowers agents at ports to reduce operational costs by optimising processing time and streamlining the procedures to obtain clearances from multiple stakeholders. Port Khalid is the first port in Sharjah that will utilise the new online platform.

First, shipping agents use MARASI to initiate a “waste manifest”, uploading critical details such as trade licenses, source of the waste, the different types of waste and their quantities. Special procedures for hazardous waste can also be completed on MARASI. Authorised waste transportation providers are then contracted through the platform to transport the waste to processing facilities, following all necessary approvals for hazardous waste. Once at a processing facility, MARASI is also used by inspectors to verify
