🔍 Key Concepts

• Medical waste disposal requirements under MARPOL Annex V and related U.S. port regulations • Difference between onboard disposal rules and disposal ashore notification rules • Typical advance notice times ports require for special or hazardous waste

💭 Think About

• Is medical waste treated like ordinary garbage, or is it handled more like hazardous/special waste by ports? • Would a port need only a short heads‑up, or enough time to schedule specialized handling and contractors? • Compare the answer choices: which time frame best matches the kind of planning needed for specialized waste reception?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that medical waste is not handled under the same timeline as routine ship’s garbage or recyclables • Think about what ports need to arrange for special reception facilities or contractors • Check if your chosen time allows for realistic coordination before the vessel’s arrival, considering oceangoing schedules
