The health officer of the Cochin Port Trust (CPT) on Tuesday submitted before the Kerala High Court that all ships were having their own garbage management plan, and waste generated in them was segregated accordingly.  Port health officer K A Shyamini filed the report on a petition filed by K N Unnikrishnan of Kadavantra, seeking a directive to take urgent steps to prevent dumping of sewage/toilet waste/garbage from the vessels calling at Cochin Port, in public places.
