🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V garbage record requirements • 33 CFR Part 151, Subpart A – Pollution from ships (garbage) • What types of garbage movements must be logged: discharge to sea, discharge ashore, and incineration

💭 Think About

• Think about whether records are only for sea dumping, or also for garbage handled in other ways such as delivery to a shore facility. • Consider what specific details (e.g., type, amount, and method of disposal) MARPOL Annex V tells you to record in the Garbage Record Book. • Ask yourself if any option sounds like it is exempting something that MARPOL usually wants traceability for (i.e., being able to prove what you did with your garbage).

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether incineration on board must be entered in the Garbage Record Book under MARPOL Annex V / 33 CFR 151. • Check whether discharge to a port reception facility ashore is one of the required entries in the Garbage Record Book. • Verify whether the law asks for the approximate weight or the approximate volume (m³) of garbage when recording entries.
