15 Prevention of Pollution 15.1 Objective


The objective of this Chapter is to provide guidance on the considerations and requirements necessary for MASS to meet the provisions of the IMO MARPOL Instrument and Annexes.


15.2 General


15.2.1 A vessel complying with the Code should meet international, national, regional and local requirements for the prevention of marine pollution which are applicable to the area in which the vessel is operating.


15.2.2 Responsibility for the vessel to be properly equipped and maintained to meet the prevailing requirements rests with the owner/managing agent.


15.2.3 It is also the responsibility of the owner/managing agent to ensure that a charterer of a vessel receives up-to- date and adequate information on prevention of pollution in the area in which the charterer intends to operate. The information may include the need to seek advice from local or harbour authorities, for which contact details should be given.


15.2.4 The disposal of ship generated waste to port reception facilities is regulated in the UK through the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations 2009 (MASSSI 2009 No.1776), as amended. Further guidance on the applicability of these Regulations can be found in MGN 387 (M+F) - Port Waste Reception Facilities Regulations 2003 and the “Port Waste Management Planning – A Guide to Good Practice” booklet available from Marine Offices. Vessel operators should ensure they manage their waste in a sustainable manner and fulfil the applicable requirements (if any) of these Regulations.


15.2.5 All MASS should comply with the requirements of UK Regulations implementing MARPOL and environmental protection requirements as applicable to the size and operating area of the vessel.


15.3 Oil pollution 15.3.1 MASS should retain on board oil or oily mixtures for discharge to shore facilities. 15.4 Garbage


15.4.1 Being unmanned, operation of the vessel should not generate substantial quantities of garbage or similar. How- ever, any maintenance or cargo handling operations aboard which generate such arisings must comply with the provisions of the MARPOL annex as appropriate to the size of the vessel and material generated.
