1Introduction
In accordance with regulation 9 of Annex
V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution
from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78),
a record is to be kept of each discharge operation or completed
incineration. This includes discharges at sea, to reception facilities,
or to other ships.
2 Garbage and garbage
management
Garbage includes all kinds of food, domestic and operational waste
excluding fresh fish and parts thereof, generated during the normal
operation of the vessel and liable to be disposed of continuously
or periodically except those substances which are defined or listed
in other annexes to MARPOL 73/78 (such as oil, sewage or noxious
liquid substances).
The Guidelines for the Implementation of Annex V of MARPOL 73/78*
should also be referred to for relevant information.
3 Description of
the garbage
The garbage is to be grouped into categories for the purposes
of this record book as follows:
|
1 |

4.2 Receipts
The master should obtain from the operator of port reception facilities,
or from the master of the ship receiving the garbage, a receipt
or certificate specifying the estimated amount of garbage transferred.
The receipts or certificates must be kept on board the ship with
the Garbage Record Book for two years.
4.3 Amount of garbage
The amount of garbage on board should be estimated in cubic metres,
if possible separately according to category. The Garbage Record
Book contains many references to estimated amount of garbage. It
is recognized that the accuracy of estimating amounts of garbage
is left to interpretation. Volume estimates will differ before and
after processing. Some processing procedures may not allow for a
usable estimate of volume, e.g. the continuous processing of food
waste. Such factors should be taken into consideration when making
and interpreting entries made in a record.
