Abstract
Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as modified by the protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78), entered into force on December 31, 1988, changing the way ships’ wastes are managed. Ports, terminals, and marinas are required to provide adequate waste reception facilities for ships to offload waste generated onboard. Under Annex V, ship-generated garbage includes “all kinds of victual, domestic and operational waste excluding fresh fish and parts thereof, generated during the normal operation of the ship.”
