In accordance with the international MARPOL Annex VI regulations, which of the listed substances are prohibited from being burned in a shipboard incinerator?
• MARPOL Annex VI restrictions on shipboard incineration • Differences between operational wastes (like sewage and oil sludge) vs. hazardous chemicals • Environmental and health risks of burning certain toxic, persistent compounds
• Which of these substances, if burned, would create especially dangerous, long-lasting toxins in the atmosphere and ash? • Which wastes does MARPOL Annex VI expect ships to routinely incinerate on board, and which are so dangerous they must be specially handled and not incinerated? • Think about which option is classified internationally as a hazardous, persistent organic pollutant rather than normal ship-generated waste.
• Verify which substance in the list is explicitly named in MARPOL Annex VI, Regulation 16 as prohibited for incineration. • Consider which items are normally handled by a ship’s incinerator under controlled conditions vs. which must be sent to special shore reception facilities. • Check which option is well-known in maritime safety and environmental regulations as a banned or severely restricted substance due to toxicity and persistence.
