A vessel to which Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 applies is located 10 nautical miles from the nearest land. Which type of garbage is prohibited from being discharged?
⢠MARPOL Annex V â Garbage from Ships distance-from-land rules ⢠Different discharge requirements for food waste vs. plastics vs. other garbage ⢠Special conditions for garbage that is comminuted or ground to small particle size
⢠At 10 nautical miles from the nearest land, which MARPOL Annex V distance limit is relevant for each listed garbage type? ⢠How does MARPOL Annex V treat ground (comminuted) garbage compared with unground food waste? ⢠Do paper and rags have the same discharge rules as food waste at that distance, or are they more restricted?
⢠Verify the minimum distance from the nearest land for discharging comminuted/ground garbage (like paper and rags). ⢠Verify the minimum distance from the nearest land for discharging food waste that is NOT comminuted or ground. ⢠Check whether any of the items listed might be treated more strictly under MARPOL Annex V because they are considered harmful to the marine environment.
