Summary Offshore controlled waste disposal sites have important roles in ensuring the safety and security of the peoplees living and preventing environmental impacts caused by unstabilized wastes. Although the measures for reuse, recycling and reduction of waste have been implementing according to the principle of waste management established by the national government, it would be needed to secure the adequate supply of offshore controlled disposal site in a planned and consistent way. One of the most discriminative characteristics of offshore site is to be managed by not only as a waste management facility but also as a port facility. In this research we propose the monitoring, maintenance and management method of the offshore controlled waste disposal site through all phases of its lifecycle i.e.: from construction, disposal of waste to utilization of land after completion of waste disposal.
