Our navy has it's own fuel and lubricant storage ashore. We dispose of waste materials as approved by International Standards. I'm not certain how today's waste handling is processed but now in addition to dry waste , food contaminated waste needs to be refrigerated for the duration until disposed of ashore. Surface ships produce about 1.5 lbs per person per day of disposable waste, or a tonne for a 28 day trip with 50 crew. Obviously medical waste has to be specially handled, sharps etc., some can be processed into sewage tanks for disposal. There are HADR operations manuals available including on-line from the RNZN. Camp Bastion was operated by mainly trauma hospital staffs and specialists. We should be no different in planned incidents.
