🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V restrictions on plastics and what they say about any discharge into the sea • The difference between an approved reception facility and more specific facilities like a recycling facility • When incineration onboard is allowed for garbage and whether this conflicts with the plastics discharge prohibition

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether plastics can ever be legally put into the sea under MARPOL Annex V, even after treatment or incineration. • Then, think about what ships are normally instructed to do with garbage that cannot be discharged at sea when they arrive in port. • Compare the wording of each option: which one is too restrictive, which one is too specific, and which one aligns with typical shipboard and port waste practices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that no discharge of plastics into the sea is permitted under MARPOL Annex V, regardless of distance from land. • Check whether MARPOL Annex V requires plastics to go only to a recycling facility or more generally to an approved port reception facility. • Confirm if certified shipboard incinerators may be used for certain garbage types and whether this is considered a legal disposal method for plastics, as opposed to discharging residues into the sea.
