18.1 The PSCO may determine if all operational requirements of Annex V of MARPOL have been met. The PSCO may determine if the reception facilities have been used and note any alleged inadequacy of such facilities.
18.2 Guidelines for the implementation of Annex V of MARPOL were approved by the MEPC at its twenty-ninth session and have been amended on numerous occasions. The Guidelines can be found within the consolidated text of MARPOL Annex V. One of the objectives of these guidelines is to assist ship operators complying with the requirements set forth in Annex V and domestic laws.
18.3 The PSCO may determine whether:
-
.1 ship's personnel are aware of these Guidelines, in particular section 3 "Minimizing the amount of potential garbage" and section 4 "Shipboard garbage handling and storage procedures"; and
-
.2 ship's personnel are familiar with the disposal and discharge requirements under Annex V of MARPOL inside and outside a special area and are aware of the areas determined as special areas under Annex V of MARPOL.
18.4 When reception facilities in other ports have not been used because of inadequacy, the PSCO should advise the master to report the inadequacy of the reception facility to the ship's flag State, in conformity with MEPC/Circ.349 (November 1998).
