5 General Requirements for Ships Using Ports where Reception Facilities are not Available

  5.1 Voyage planning and on board storage

 Voyage planning should be part of any waste management planning strategy. Masters of ships should ensure that there is adequate on board capacity for storage of all ODS and EGCS residues that may be generated during the course of voyages which include visits to ports or terminals where reception facilities are not available.

  5.2 Notifications (according to regulation 17.3)

 The Guide to Good Practice for Port Reception Facility Providers and Users (MEPC.1/Circ.671) contains Appendix 1 Revised Consolidated Format for Reporting Alleged Inadequacy of Port Reception Facilities. This standard form may be used by ship masters to report MARPOL Annex VI reception facility inadequacy to the Organization and to the port State through their own flag State Administration.
