🔍 Key Concepts

• Waste Management Plan requirements for oceangoing vessels (46 CFR and MARPOL Annex V) • Difference between garbage and sewage (marine sanitation devices) under the regulations • What must be written, practical procedures vs. general environmental goals

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the plan required to describe broad environmental goals, or specific step‑by‑step handling of a certain type of waste? • Which of the options clearly matches the regulatory focus on handling garbage under MARPOL Annex V? • Which choice describes something already covered separately under sewage/MSD regulations, rather than in the garbage management plan?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option deals specifically with garbage handling procedures (not just “reduction” or “recycling” in general). • Check that the item belongs in a written, practical plan (who does what, when, and how), not just a policy statement. • Confirm that sewage / MSD operations are regulated separately from the garbage management plan requirements.
