MARPOL Annex V To prevent pollution of garbage/residues from ships
IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee MEPC began meeting in 1973 shortly after IMO adopted the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships or MARPOL.
• One important regulation in MARPOL for ports:
“the Government of each Party is to ensure the provision for reception of ship‐generated residues”

MARPOL Annex V discharge standards – January 1, 2013
All Oceans are essentially a “no discharge zone” with the exception of food wastes (which may have to be comminuted or ground (25 mm screen) in some areas.
Dry Cargo Residues if not harmful to marine environment (HME) and in small quantities.
MARPOL imposes one important obligation to the Government of each Party,
To provide PRF for ship-generated residues and garbage that cannot be discharged into the sea
PRF must be adequate to meet the needs of ships using the port,
Without causing undue delay to ships
Incentivize ships use of PRF to comply with MARPOL and to minimize discharges to sea.
(Disposal of ships waste to take place in an environmentally appropriate way)• Sustaining ocean health and productivity requires responsible use and
stewardship by all users.

PRF Gaps
• Member states not consistently updating PRFD
• “the Government of each Party is to ensure the provision for reception of ship‐generated residues” = challenge for certain wastes/residuals
• Inadequate PRF submissions to MEPC from Port States were not representative of global fleet

• New technology and waste stream processing capabilities shore side
• Lean supply chain practices offer efficiencies/savings
• Focus on mutually beneficial way forward for Cleaner Oceans
• Best Management Practices for Environmentally Sound Management of ships waste Aboard and Ashore
• Embracing Concepts of “Cradle-to-Cradle” management of ships’ waste; principles of Reduce, Re-use Recycle and ReThink
• Environmentally safe ultimate disposal … Working toward keeping ships’ waste out of the oceans. Disposal of ships waste to take place in an environmentally appropriate way

MARPOL Annex V details
Discharge of all forms of plastics, including garbage containing plastic, into the sea, is prohibited!
An international treaty and domestic law prohibit discharge of most garbage from ships under strict conditions, except for a limited list of materials.
Outside Special Areas designated under MARPOL Annex V:
With the exception of discharging cleaning agents in washing water; the ship must be en route.
Comminuted or ground food wastes (capable of passing through a screen with openings no larger than 25mm) may be discharged not less than 3 nautical miles from the nearest land.
Other food wastes may be discharged not less than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land.
Non-harmful cargo residues may be discharged not less than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land.
Cleaning agents or additives in cargo hold, deck and external surfaces washing water may be discharged only
if they are not harmful to the marine environment.
Inside Special Areas designated under MARPOL Annex V, more stringent discharge requirements apply
for the discharges of food wastes and cargo residues. Consult Annex V and the shipboard garbage
management plan for details.
Discharge of any type of garbage must be entered in the Garbage Record Book

Port Reception Facility key points to tackling adequacy
Without causing delay to ships = know market share and break down by ships type (ST) using port
Adequate to meet the needs of the ships = know ST waste streams generated/landed
Port to ensure adequate facilities = to quantities and wastes landed ashore
Does not provide mariners with a disincentive to use them;
Contributes to the improvement of the marine environment = “allow for the ultimate disposal of ships’ wastes to take place in an environmentally appropriate way.”
World Maritime Day
PRF understood responsibility:
Port/terminal operators PRFs meets national & local waste handling permit requirements for environmental & public health and waste are managed so that wastes and residues removed from ships cannot readily enter the water
Common discharges: solid waste, oily wastes, sewage, paint related wastes, recyclables
Challenging waste streams: EGCS wash water, BW, gray water, electronics, hazardous wastes, economizer wash water, international garbage
