According to Annex V to MARPOL 73/78, garbage containing plastic is permitted to be disposed of by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V restrictions on disposal of plastics • Difference between discharging into the sea vs. disposing by other methods (like incineration) • Special treatment of garbage that contains any amount of plastic compared with food waste or other garbage types

💭 Think About

• First, recall whether MARPOL Annex V allows any plastic to be discharged into the sea under any distance or grinding condition. • Look carefully at which options involve putting material into the water versus destroying it or treating it onboard. • Ask yourself: if garbage contains plastic, is grinding it smaller and discharging it still acceptable under Annex V, or is that specifically prohibited?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that Annex V completely prohibits the discharge of plastics into the sea, regardless of distance from land or particle size. • Identify which choices still result in garbage entering the sea vs. being destroyed or treated onboard. • Confirm that options involving 12 or 25 nautical miles and 1-inch grinding apply only to non-plastic garbage types under Annex V.
