Controlling Operation of ship and Care for Persons Onboard
This programme explains the 2018 changes to MARPOL Annex V, which include the definition of garbage categories, the splitting of the Garbage Record Book into 2 parts, the requirements of the Polar Code, and the need to minimise any discharge of garbage while at sea.
The accumulation of large quantities of garbage on beaches and floating in vast patches on the oceans has caused a re-evaluation of what intentional discharge from ships is acceptable.
After a wide-ranging revision, changes to MARPOL Annex V entered into force on 1 January 2013 prohibiting the discharge at sea of most categories of garbage, except under certain conditions and with restrictions.
Further changes which entered into force on 1 March 2018 include the definition of new garbage categories, the splitting of the Garbage Record Book into 2 parts, and the additional requirements of the Polar Code.
This programme and accompanying workbook provide training in how to comply with the revised MARPOL Annex V regulations in relation to garbage collection, processing, storage, disposal and record-keeping using the Garbage Record Book. It also presents good practice guidance to assist Masters, officers, crew, ship operators and owners in managing ship-generated garbage more effectively.
