Amendments to MARPOL Annex V – Garbage Requirements

Amendments to MARPOL Annex V – Garbage Requirements
The IMO has adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex V, published as Resolution MEPC.277(70), and also published ‘2017 Guidelines for the implementation of MARPOL Annex V’ as Resolution MEPC.295(71).

The primary changes are related to a new definition of ‘E-waste’ and also new requirements for cargo residues, including cargo hold washing water. The format of the garbage record book was revised to include the new garbage category for E-waste.
