Marpol Annex III

MARPOL Annex III regulates chemicals carried in packaged form as marine pollutants identified in the IMDG Code. It sets out requirements for packing, marking, labeling, documentation, stowage, and quantity limitations to prevent pollution. Both SOLAS and MARPOL refer ships carrying dangerous goods to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, which provides uniform international standards. The OPRC-HNS Protocol addresses preparedness and response to chemical pollution incidents, while the not-yet-in-force HNS Convention aims to ensure prompt compensation for damage resulting from hazardous and noxious substance spills.

MARPOL Annex III - Chemicals carried in packaged form

Chemicals which are carried in packaged form, in solid form or in bulk are regulated by Part A of SOLAS Chapter VII -
Carriage of dangerous goods, which includes provisions for the classification, packing, marking, labelling and
placarding, documentation and stowage of dangerous goods.

MARPOL Annex III also sets out regulations for the prevention of pollution by harmful substances in packaged form
and includes general requirements for the issuing of detailed standards on packing, marking, labelling,
documentation, stowage, quantity limitations, exceptions and notifications for preventing pollution by harmful
substances. For the purpose of Annex III, “harmful substances” are those identified as “marine pollutants” in the
IMDG Code.

Both SOLAS and MARPOL refer to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, which was developed
by IMO as a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea.

Preparedness, Response and Liability and Compensation for Chemical Pollution Incidents
Issues related to the preparedness for and response to incidents of chemical pollution is covered by the OPRC-HNS
Protocol 2000. Liability and compensation for incidents involving chemical pollution incidents are covered by the
HNS Convention 2010, which has yet to enter into force.

(The HNS Convention aims to ensure prompt and effective compensation to those who have suffered from damage
to person and/or property. This includes cost of clean-up and economic losses resulting from the maritime transport
of Hazardous and Noxious Substances).
