substances should be provided with a Cargo Record Book, a Procedure

for the ship in accordance with Annex II to
MARPOL 73/78 and approved by the Administration.
4.2 Discharge into the sea of residues of noxious
liquid substances permitted for the carriage in Ship Type 3, or products
listed in appendix 1 or ballast water, tank washings, or other residues

4.3 In the case of cargoes regulated by MARPOL
73/78, Annex I, the requirements of
