(1) In all documents relating to the carriage of
harmful substances by sea where such substances are named, the correct
technical name of each such substance shall be used (trade names
alone shall not be used) and the substance further identified by
the addition of the words "MARINE POLLUTANT".
(2) The shipping documents supplied by the shipper
shall include, or be accompanied by, a signed certificate or declaration
that the shipment offered for carriage is properly packaged and
marked, labelled or placarded as appropriate and in proper condition
for carriage to minimize the hazard to the marine environment.
(3) Each ship carrying harmful substances shall
have a special list or manifest setting forth the harmful substances
on board and the location thereof. A detailed stowage plan which
sets out the location of the harmful substances on board may be
used in place of such special list or manifest. Copies of such documents
shall also be retained on shore by the owner of the ship or his
representative until the harmful substances are unloaded. A copy
of one of these documents shall be made available before departure
to the person or organization designated by the port State authority.
