    persons or more, and fixed or floating platforms shall carry a garbage management
    plan.

    Additionally, every ship of 400 gross tonnage and above, and every ship certified to
    carry 15 persons or more engaged in voyages to ports or offshore terminals under the
    jurisdiction of another party to MARPOL and every fixed or floating platform shall carry

    Also, every ship of 12 meters or more in length overall and fixed or floating platforms
    shall display placards to notify the crew and passengers of the ship’s disposal
    requirements.

    The garbage management plan shall provide written procedures for minimizing,
    collecting, storing, processing and disposing of ship-generated garbage, including
    the use of the equipment on board. It shall also designate the person or persons in
    charge of carrying out the plan. Such a plan shall be in accordance with the

    the crew. There shall also be a Garbage Record Book for recording each

    written procedures for minimizing, collecting, storing, processing and disposing
    of ship-generated garbage, including the use of equipment on board, in
    accordance with Regulation 10[2] of Annex V MARPOL 73/78.

    • Do I need to comply?
    Every ship of 100 tons gross tonnage and above, and every ship which is
    certified to carry 15 persons or more, and fixed or floating platforms must
    comply by developing and implementing a garbage management system
    as specified in a Garbage Management Manual.

    • Is there a waiver on compliance with the Garbage Record Book


    requirement?

    [1] any ship engaged on voyages of one hour or less in duration which is
    certified to carry 15 persons or more; or
