All vessels arriving at the port are to comply with the requirements of the MARPOL 73/78 Convention and Convention on the Baltic Sea Pollution Prevention of 1992. Dumping segregated ballast taken in the Baltic or North Seas is permitted in the water area of the port. The ballast taken in other seas can be discharged either with special permission of the State Environment Protection Authority entitled to grant such permission, or after having changed the ballast in the open sea with depths not less than 1,000m in the approaches to the Baltic Sea, for which there must be an appropriate entry in the Log Book. Before departure, all waste generated by the vessel, including engine-room waste, sewage, garbage determined by Supplement V to the International MARPOL 73/78 Convention, and all cargo waste, dumping of which is prohibited in the Baltic Sea by MARPOL 73/78 and Convention on the Baltic Sea Pollution Prevention of 1992, are to be disposed of into the terminal's reception facilities.

Imposing a fine does not relieve the party at fault from paying the actual costs of environment pollution removal. Tankers calling at the port must have a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or DGPS receiver installed, and an electronic chart display information system (ECDIS) in addition to conventional navigation equipment. If such equipment is not aboard the Master should include this information in the request for pilotage and a portable set consisting of PC with electronic charts for the area and GNSS/DGPS receiver can be brought onboard by the pilot. All vessels entering the port for loading are provided with all required cargo information. In the event of any spillage, leakage, overfilling, failure of connection or any sparks emitted from the funnel fall on the deck, the vessel must immediately raise the alarm and notify the Harbour Master.

Matches and cigarettes are not be used and carried at the berths, however, may be used and carried onboard vessels in designated locations. Alcohol is strictly prohibited. All doors, windows and portholes which overlook the tank deck or lead directly from the tank deck must be kept closed. Naked lights, flame heating appliances, portable radios, flash cameras, electronic calculators, telephones, portable VHF transceivers, flashlights, TV and other battery powered equipment (not intrinsically safe) are required to not be used on the berth, main deck or areas in close contamination to oil vapours. Sparking prevention is in place during a vessels stay at the port which includes soot blowing and excessive smoke emission. Only non-sparking tools shall be used for connection/disconnection of cargo arms. In the event that sparks are emitted from the funnel, then the vessel must stop boilers and auxiliary engines, loading must then be halted until sparking has stopped. Whilst in port, a vessels radar must not be used during its stay in the port and its main transmitting antennae shall be discontinued and earthed. The emergency tanker unberthing procedure can be initiated by a ship master, loading master or Port State Control Inspectorate. In the event that a vessel must undertake in the Emergency Unberthing Plan, its propulsion system must be made ready for use and tanker cargo manifold valves must be closed after the closing of shore valves is acknowledged.
