• MARPOL Annex V garbage discharge categories and distance-from-land limits • Difference between rules for plastics, ground garbage, and ungrounded (unprocessed) garbage • How U.S. regulations in 33 CFR Subchapter O align with MARPOL Annex V for distance limits

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: At what distance does MARPOL become most restrictive about any floating solid items that do not quickly break up or sink, like bottles and glass? • Think about how these items behave in the water—do they float and persist? Regulations try to keep these away from coastal waters used for fishing, tourism, and wildlife. • Compare in your mind the typical limits you’ve seen: 3 nm (territorial sea baseline issues), 12 nm (contiguous zone/expanded pollution controls), and farther-out limits—where do most garbage discharge bans for solid items fall?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the specific distance limit in MARPOL Annex V for discharging unground (not shredded) solid garbage like glass, metals, and bottles. • Confirm that this distance is measured from the nearest land, not from a port or other reference point. • Check that the same distance requirement appears or is enforced under 33 CFR Subchapter O for U.S. vessels or vessels in U.S. waters.
