Union Marine Properties (Pty) Ltd intends on applying for an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for the transportation, handling and storage of 22 different chemicals from the port, where it is off-loaded from the ships, to UMP's existing United Fishing Enterprise (UFE) Warehouse and vice-versa. A separate Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was previously approved for the storage of the same chemicals in the UFE but under a different company, hence UNP’s request to have the ECC and relevant documentation and reports, under their own name, and therefore triggers the need for an EIA process.
