Bandar Lampung City is part of the major city of Lampung province. The problem that arises in Bandar Lampung City is solid waste management. The amount of solid waste in Bandar Lampung City reaches 1000 tons/day. One of the district  of Bandar Lampung named Kedamaian district still uses the old method (collecting-transport-throw) in solid waste management, which  causes the load of waste to accumulate in the landfill. The constraints encountered  this time are the absence of sorting locations  and limited land. Kedamaian district needs to develop waste  treatment facilities, an approach based on  Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). The results show  from the analysis that BCR in the scenario A <1 is 0.85 with NPV - Rp. 72.968.828. the  activity in the existing conditions can still be carried out, but the waste reduction has not been maximized to the TPS (Container). Scenario B, NPV is Rp. 95.319.338 and BCR is 1.13, which value of BCR is >1. This indicates that a waste processing facility  in the Kedamaian District is suitable to  operate  with TPS-3R. The results of scenario B are  obtained by increasing the effectiveness of processing facilities to 100% by  2025. In 2025, with the implementation of the TPS-3R obtained, BCR is 1.20 with NPV is Rp. 218.447.621.

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of Directive (EU) 2019/883 from the social interest perspective. To achieve this aim, it assesses the performance of the sewage treatment plan (Annex IV of MARPOL) in Las Palmas Port and the accomplishment of the Cost Recovery System. This involves reviewing the mandatory fees for landing the sewage in the port, the sewage treatment costs and the environmental impact of the treated effluent from the vessels (environmental benefits) and addressing technical difficulties in order to meet the normative standard required from the vessels’ sewage in the framework of Las Palmas Port. Through a cost–benefit analysis not only the current protocol for the reception and treatment of Annex IV waste in the port is assessed, but also alternative waste treatment plans (sewage routes) are discussed in terms of social interest. The results of the paper show that only when the treated sewage is reused are the costs assumed to implement the directive overtaken by the benefits gained from complying with it. Consequently, the port authorities should address their efforts in this direction, as should the policy makers, who should integrate in the international normative the collaboration of the on-board sewage treatment plants to meet the PPP (Polluter Pays Principle).
