MARPOL Annex V - Poster

This checklist provides guidance to crew on discharging garbage and waste from vessels based on their location and cargo. It outlines different rules for operating more or less than 3 or 12 nautical miles from land, or within designated Special Areas. Certain materials like plastics, glass or food waste have additional restrictions. The checklist helps determine if discharging cargo residues, cleaning agents or wash water is permitted and any steps required like ensuring it is within wash water or grinding food waste.
