1. This plan describes policy and procedures for handling this vessel's
garbage according to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subparts 151.51 through
151.77. As Captain, I am responsible for carrying out this plan. All
crewmembers and embarked persons shall follow the instructions in this
plan. It is the general policy of this vessel that all food waste and
garbage will be retained on board for proper disposal ashore.
2. Waste for this vessel is collected
__________________________________________________(where)
and stored ____________________________________________(location). When
moored, all waste will
be carried from the vessel and disposed of
________________________________________(location of
dumpster, etc.). Plastics and waste containing plastic materials will
never be discharged into the water from this vessel regardless of
location.
3. When sailing on inland waters or at sea within 12 nautical miles of
land, no food, garbage or waste of any type will be discharged. When on an
extended voyage, beyond 12 nautical miles from land, certain non-plastic
and non-floating waste may be discharged if storage space is not
available. In this case, all plastics (including foamed plastic) are to be
segregated from other wastes and stored on board for proper disposal
ashore. Only those materials permitted for discharge according to MARPOL
Annex V placard may be discharged in the water. In no case will waste of
any kind be discharged into the water without prior inspection and
explicit permission.
4. If you have any questions about this plan, waste handing procedures
or materials that may be discharged, please consult me.
