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 – Shipboard incineration restrictions (Reg. 16) • Difference between ordinary shipboard garbage and special/hazardous waste streams • The role of halogen compounds and heavy metals in combustion emissions
• Which listed substances, when burned, are most likely to produce toxic, ozone‑depleting, or highly corrosive gases? • Look at each option and ask: is this material more like normal ship waste that incinerators are designed to handle, or is it a chemically sensitive product that international air‑pollution rules would single out? • Consider what MARPOL is mainly trying to control in Annex VI: air pollution and harmful exhaust products, not just fire safety.
• Verify which materials MARPOL Annex VI explicitly names as prohibited in shipboard incinerators (check the wording in Reg. 16). • Check if halogenated compounds have special treatment in air‑pollution and ozone‑protection regulations compared to ordinary petroleum products. • Confirm whether oil residues and sewage sludge are normally listed as acceptable or prohibited for approved incineration systems under MARPOL.
